That's still a rumour nobody knows if they really said that.

You don't think his opinion was needed? So what do you think he just called a press conference to mention these things? No it was an interview and he was asked directly. He was right too you know, iPad is just a big iPod Touch and all of it's features were already basically known. With 3D, there are already people saying they'll wait for glasses-less 3DTV's before they jump in, even on this very website!

Also Reggie recently said that he liked what Microsoft were doing with XBOX LIVE so.. Yeah they have complimented their competitors.

Nah, Nintendo is just acting like any other grown-up, mature adult. It's Sony and MS who have to uphold their 'hardcore' image by insulting the competition ala XBOX LIVE.

 Yamauchi insulted my type of gamer (RPG fans) by comparing us to to the hardcore basement dwelling Quake and Doom pizza pop feeders.

Now Nintendo embraces RPGs far more than anyone else.

- "Apple isnt a viable gaming platform"

- “I have doubts whether people will be wearing glasses to play games at home. How is that going to look to other people?”

- "I've been very intrigued with Little Big Planet (from Sony). I don't know that it belongs on their platform."

- "New Super Mario Wii will outsell MW2"

- "I think we would have been embarrassed to do what our competitors are currently doing,"

- “Looking at what PlayStation is doing, it feels very ‘Wii-too’”, he told the LA Times. “In terms of Microsoft, we'll see when they actually show off their software. I think our competitors will be challenged in a number of ways: bringing fun experiences to life, because in the end that's what the consumer wants."

- Nintendo Wii: Reggie Claims No One With A Wii Would Buy PlayStation Move

- "After 52 months in the market, the installed base of the DS in the U.S. is larger than the installed base of the PlayStation 2, at the same time frame"

- "Having talked to a lot of consumers in our market, the consumer wants to pay just once for their overall experience. I’ve heard complaints when consumers buy maps or extra levels. From a Nintendo perspective, we believe selling a game that is fair to the consumer and charging them once instead of multiple times is the best business model."

- "More and more retailers are experimenting with the used game model. We don’t believe used games are in the best interest of the consumer. We have products that consumers want to hold onto. They want to play all of the levels of a Zelda game and unlock all of the levels. A game like Personal Trainer Cooking has a long life. We believe used games aren’t in the consumer’s best interes"

Miyamoto asking if Ratchet & Clank is a PC game.. that's all I can really think of.. and I'm not sure if he was doing it to talk trash or honestly didn't know.

About the only thing Nintendo has said this gen that I'd call trash-talking is the infamous "geeks and otaku" comment. I agree with it, but I can't deny its status as trash-talk.

Well, that was in response to Insomniac's claims that their use of "spherical worlds" in the R&C games influenced Mario Galaxy.  Insomniac should've played Yoshi's Island. ;)

The worst thing Miyamoto's said recently I think is that he could've made Halo, which seemed pretty dismissive.

He could have just passed the question along or answered without insulting his competitors, he responded like that only because he had the 3DS in mind and wanted to downplay his 3D competitor and his handheld competitor. Plenty of the thing's Sony and Microsoft have said are true when attacking their competitors, it doesn't make it any less rude. I'm just trying to point out that Nintendo aren't the saint's that the fans seem to think they are.

i know, they're so adorable that way :p
