imo calling upcoming small devs "garage developers" is pretty much un called for

That was a bad mistake on Reggie's part, and a particular head-scratcher because Nintendo has courted small developers with teams in the single-digits before

Unless Reggie meant the real amateurs, the ones flooding the app store with all sorts of pointlessness (but then again, pointlessness has proven to be a big seller on WiiWare, see My Aquarium)

That's exactly what he meant, as he defined it in the same interview (in a portion which most sites just kind of forgot to add). The goal, as near as I can tell, isn't so much to make sure that only awesome games are on the service so much as it is to make sure that only games that will return a reasonable profit (for Nintendo) will get hosted.

On topic, the man is crude, but considering how much of a hash Nintendo has made of their online distribution services, I can't really blame him.
