Riccitiello made a point of singling out Nintendo platforms as a focus for the company going forward. He talked about Boom Blox being a success both critically and commercially, and revealed that EA has 40 titles in development between Wii and DS. He stated that the company's approach with the titles is a combination of "quality over quantity" and ensuring that they are designed to take full advantage of each platform's unique feature set. The EA boss used the upcoming Wii title Skate It as an example.

and with titles like Skate it, Sim City Creator, My Sims Kingdom, Spore, Tiger Woods and rumours that Boom blox team is expanding and starting a new project this is massive news.

Only a matter of time before we get a Wii Balance Board SSX title.

EA Fit should be decent too



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

That sure sounds like a lot, but I'm sure they're counting Spore once for DS and once for Wii, etc.

Still, can't accuse them of ignoring the platform.

It may not be 40 games, but 40 ideas they may be tinkering with.

GO EA GO! :D I wonder what will happen to NCAA 09 All play though, will it have legs like Boom Blox did? :/



end of core gaming days prediction:

 

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

 

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

 

E3 2010- Tape runs out
