^ Conversations overheard on 3/28 in the Nintendo Store:

"When can I pre-order a 3DS?" "When can I pre-order a 3DS?" "When can I pre-order a 3DS?" "When can I pre-order a 3DS?" "When can I pre-order a 3DS?" "When can I pre-order a 3DS?" "When can I pre-order a 3DS?" "When can I pre-order a 3DS?" "When can I pre-order a 3DS?"

If I had a kid, I'd buy one, tell him it was a 3DS, give him a pair of those blue red glasses and send him to school to get beat up.

Sega is always first, but they fail miserably then another company comes along and does it right.

What image?

Maybe game-talk was taking up too much of his time. You guys were tight right? Like way up high on the RE5 co-op leader-boards?

I played with him once. I messaged him about something a while back and he never answered, it could be that he just missed the message. He has not logged into GS since like Jan.

The image is the one in my trophy card.

Miyamoto blames industry slump on game quality

"The fact that in 2009 we were not able to sell more than we did in 2008 was simply that in comparison, we were not able to produce fun enough products," Miyamoto said through an interpreter. "There are always ups and downs in this business. As long as we create unique and unprecedented experiences with video games, there should be nothing to worry about."

Miyamoto's stance on online games

"I think it is obvious that when everyone is connected online, there will be enormous opportunity for me to create something really unique," Miyamoto said. "But my job is to try to entertain as many people as possible, and I see all Wii owners as the audience. Of course, we have Mario Kart, which can be played online by multiple people. So we are gradually expanding the experiences using the Internet, but my own personal focus is to try to entertain people, even if they are not connected to the Internet. That is my first priority."

Love the first quote, the second one is a stretch, lots of us have online now, enough to do something special with online.

True. I mean, I think there would be enough people in this community that would get online together for the right game (and if Nintendo made it easier to get online and connect with others).

Shiggy has it right. F*** online. It's a waste of time and money. Instead, use those resources to make better offline games!

It's over Raven. Give up. Online will always ruin games for the rest of time.

Yeah, hopefully he's so busy with work that he can't type.

Seriously, what's the deal? Maybe Matt Cassassinscreedmania get the heads up and went for the early departure. Who knew about this? Iga? Wassup? C'mon, someone tell me who all got fired.
