I found the interview interesting, but very "well duh".  Anyway, the above url point to a cnn reporter's column on the interview.  I have often disagreed with his impression and fact about Nintendo and Mario games, but this report is better than normal.  Maybe that is because he is quoting the Nintendo President.  Check it out, then voice your opinion here.

The only thing I disagree with in the article is how they feel the need to expand the way to play video games, or whatever.  I prefer the classic gameplay, without all the voice commands and touch screen blah.  I mean, the new games look cool, but not with a bunch of stuff crammed into them.
