Dear Reader:
Cammie Dunaway - Nintendo was disappointed with their own E3 showing, next-gen console talk, and Miyamoto project reassurance
A portion of a VGChartz interview with Cammie Dunaway…
VGC: What is your message to people who weren’t happy with Nintendo’s E3 conference?
CD: I would say the message is we were disappointed with our performance at E3. There were titles like Wario which we think will be really fun titles that we should have show cased. We were excited that Mr. Miyamoto made the commitment that Pikmin is coming. It would have been nice if we could have said that on stage. But, we think it was a good recognition for us that we care for our core fans, and not just the new people who are now discovering Nintendo.
VGC: Is Nintendo planning another console?
CD: What Nintendo believes is we can never stop innovating. As soon as we launch a piece of hardware, we have a team working on what the next generation is going to be. At the point where we feel like we are out of surprises on the current generation, we’ll be ready with the next one.
VGC: I hear Wii Music is the last idea from Miyamoto for the Wii. Is that true?
CD: I had understood Miyamoto to say when he first proposed the Wii he had three core ideas. Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Music. So Wii Music is the last of that original proposition. But you know Mr. Miyamoto always has some tricks up his sleeve.
