From 1UP and IGN. The key facts are emboldened.

On Iwata's upcoming E3 presentation:

RFA: What I'll tell ya is this. Mr. Iwata, in addition to relating his own personal development experiences, and that is one of the advantages versus our competitors. You know, that head of our company is a developer. He gets it. He knows what the life is like. But in addition to that, yeah we're going to talk about DS, we're gonna talk about wireless Internet gaming. We're gonna talk about that we're committed to it, that we're bringing it to life this year. We're gonna talk about Revolution, in terms of technology partners, we're gonna talk about how we're doing some things to bring it to market in ways that Nintendo hasn't done in the past. We're breaking the mold, we're breaking the mold by having Mr. Iwata do this speech, we're breaking the mold in the way that we're thinking about our next-generation platforms, including DS. And we're also putting out there, for ours fans, the fact that there's some things we could have done better on previous systems. The whole Internet gaming piece, we missed the boat on GameCube. We won't miss the boat in the future.

On the looks of consoles:

RFA: I don't disagree. And you know what? We're pushing the envelope in making sure all of our products look sexy. SP is a sexy device. DS is a sexy device! I will grant you that GameCube was not a sexy device. (laughs) But you know what? We're smart people, we learn from our mistakes. I will bet you a drink at the bar of your choice, that Revolution will be a very sexy device.


On Nintendo at E3:

RFA: If last year at E3 we dusted off the cobwebs and grabbed people by the throat and shook 'em around a little bit, what we're gonna do at this year's E3 is take them to the next level. Maybe not as aggressively as last year's show, but certainly more emotional. What you will see will be more and more about Zelda. You guys have had the luxury of having some sneak peeks into that game, but we're only scratching the surface as to what that game's gonna be all about. The new games we have coming out for DS, what we're doing on the SP front. There's a lot of work that we're gonna unveil at E3.


On whether Mario 128 will be shown:

Reggie: Yes. In terms of how we're going to show Mario 128, though, it's likely that we'll show it in video form more than playable. We have so many great games in playable form already.




Very, very interesting stuff indeed - can't wait until E3.

The DS is justso...bland and boring. There's nothing remarkable. Let's be honest, the PSP beats it hands down looks wise.

And my old man comment remains Razz

Agreed, Chris. But the DS still rocks my metaphorical socks.
