failure in the interviewer for not pursuing the path of the original IP core games. He was going good for a while, then she got defensive, and he backed off.

Looked like a lot of bullshit to me, dodging the issues and re-defining what some key words were in order to help her point go down smoothly.

No, it was good that he didn't continue. By using more and more qualifiers he would have looked like a whiny cry baby that is desperate to yell: "You don't care for us, Nintendo!"

It's also admirable for a gaming journalist to admit that the core can never be satisfied.

I don't think qualifiers is the right term. Avenues is more like it. He was pursuing a different avenue that she didn't want to talk about.

 

As far as core original IP games (as defined by the gamers) what is there?
I don't think there were too many qualifiers on that question, although she tried to make it look that way.

She is the one the broadened the definitino in the first place to include something that she knew he wasn't talking about in the first place. When he tried to narrow the scope because she wasn't answering the question, she made it look like he was putting restrictions on it and he totally wasn't.

He asked what nintendo was doing about core. She responded with games not made by nintendo. He said, "no, what is nintendo doing". She said punchout. He said "no, what NEW games are we getting" and she tried to respond with wiifit. She really didn't have anything. That's how I feel about that.

I understand if you disagree, it does look like he is putting restrictions on it. I just think she interpreted the questions the way she wanted to.

 

PS: It doesn't take much to satiate a core gamer.
