They should announce that they’re building the Wii into tellies, set-top-boxes, etc. That’d do it.

Yeah, and stop churning out cheap ass kiddy games for a quick buck and start making more mature themed games (conduit I’m looking at you)
Oh and some more wii fit based games because the missus needs an excuse to switch the thing on!

Gamers? Nuh uh.
He’s a voyeur isn’t he? The new game is Wii: Red Light District.

“He will think a lot about activities that people love, and that’s why his games are popular with both gamers and people who have never had played games before.”
Which gamers are these, then?

Kotaku are pimping this as an announcement.

The ‘gamers’ that just qualified into the catagory by playing another game on either the Wii or DS!

@ blerk: I was jokingly suggesting a Nintendo Cloud idea, accessible from shopping mall terminals – but your idea’s good too.

“The prototype stage of his games takes two years, as they need to work out what’s “fun”.”
Surely, that rules out a new Mario then. Zelda not so much.

Nintendo is in evil teasing, voyeuristic and dominating hands.

It’s not E3, is it? It’s all about development. I’m not actually sure we’ll see much, y’know.

It’s all about the development… but in this case it seems to be all about fawning over Miyamoto.

“I just got word that The Pitt DLC is now uploading and should be available for download sometime this evening. When it is up, I’ll let everyone know”
From GStaff over at bathesda so at least someone is giving out meaningful news today!

/tips hat courteously to Bleak, for the translation. I haven’t seen anything about it, so I’m still no wiser – but thanks anyway.
(I was though, mistaken to suspect it being EBA, so there’s something learned)
