Iwata apologizes to core gamer for lackluster E3 showing, promises core devotion

“If there is any perception that Nintendo is ignoring the core gamers, it’s a misunderstanding and we really want to get rid of that misunderstanding by any means. We are sorry about [the E3] media briefings, specifically for those who were expecting to see Nintendo show something about ‘Super Mario’ or ‘Legend of Zelda.’ However, the fact of the matter is the so-called ‘big titles’ need a long, long development period. … We really didn’t think this year’s E3 media briefing was the time to do so.” - Satoru Iwata

Wow…very cool, Mr. Iwata. When was the last time you saw a company president do something like that? Alright Iwata, we are BFFs again.
