He compares the best selling games of 1998 -- Goldeneye, Ocarina, Gran Turismo, Super Mario 64 -- to today's top sellers -- GTA, Madden, Halo 2, ESPN NFL2K5. Oh no"
11:14 AM PST - This is how he came up with the idea for Nintendogs. When he showed the game to his wife, she loved it. The same thing happened with Brain-Age. 11:15 AM PST - He often comes home late from work to find his wife on his Wii, on Everybody Votes. She downloaded the channel on her own and started voting. 11:18 AM PST - Miyamoto has a competition between him and his wife. When she thinks of a unique game design, he can retire. The audience begins to ROFL.

It sounds like this was a really great speech. I'm always impressed by how down-to-earth Miyamoto is in his approach to game design. It was certainly more appropriate, content-wise, for a GAME DEVELOPERS CONFERENCE KEYNOTE then a certain other recent speech, which seemed more like a press conference product-unveiling.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.
Don't forget about the gag order imposed upon Nintendo from the stock deal though. Hmm..So when is the Popularity channel coming? Heh you could make a prediction league to see which user on vgcharts will be the most popular on the popularity channel.

Nintendo is really dissapointing me a lot lately. - A really really really bad line-up, - A terible Keynote about wifes, non-gamers and other crap stuff.. do you really think you can entertain me for one year with a GC port (zelda)?? Well do ya Nintendo? I dont care about your way of seeing the industry, i wanne play great games and lots of it too!! Is it so hard to understand that your fans wanne play games and not participate in stupid Mii contests... I still love nintendo, i always will.. but buying the Wii has been the worst purchase i ever did! I wanne play with the Wii but theres nothing to play with, absolutely nothing! Its just sitting here collecting dusts. I really only use it for when friends come over, and Wii-sports doesnt stay fun 4-ever thrust me. There are much better partygames on the GC and PS2.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
