Nintendo To Receive Emmy Award

Home : News : News Story

The company’s second Emmy, awarded for the Wii and DS’s unique controls.

Nintendo of America today announced that the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences will award the company with its second Emmy Award in as many years.

The award is being offered in response to the company’s implementation of unique controllers for both the Wii and Nintendo DS, (I.E the touch-screen/dual-screens and the Wii Remote/Nunchuk.)

"The pioneering interfaces for Wii and Nintendo DS reflect our long tradition of seeking new ways to enhance the gaming experience for users at every level," said Don James, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of operations.

"We're grateful for this award and thank the academy for honoring us a second time."

Last year’s Emmy was awarded to Nintendo for its creation of the D-pad, which “radically changed how people interact with their video games and, by extension, their televisions.”
