SS – Last question,  any chance of a new NiGHTS or Burning Rangers  game?

Iizuka – (Laughs) We can’t talk about that right now.

I want sequels to both, Sega! Do it!

Konno about Nintendogs + cats
Warren Spector about Epic Mickey

Did y'all read the part in the Miyamoto roundtable where he said that if they had done Twilight Princess graphics, the game would have been done by now

My one complaint on the Wii is that we still have nothing on Pikmin 3. I thought for sure this was the year. Seems like such a great franchise for the system you'd think we'd have it by now. I hope they weren't using New Play Control! Pikmin's sales as a testbed.

Hmm, Leo posted this yesterday:
