“I can’t speak for the rest of the industry or all of EA but I can speak for my group when I say I think we’ve turned a corner and the industry has woken up to Wii in the right way. We’re seeing a lot of new energy on the platform. One of the things I’ve found when I’ve been building the Nintendo Group is that there’s a lot of very passionate people here. Our job is to find people that can be passionate about Wii and our mission. The vision for the Nintendo Group at Electronic Arts is a long-term one. We always want to have a balanced portfolio but we also want to break some new games and take some risks.” - Senior Producer for EA’s Nintendo Group, Joe Booth

I really think Mr. Booth is right. We are hearing more and more third parties discussing their Wii projects, which aren’t just mini-game collections. I’m still shocked that Bethesda is going all-out for Wii owners. It’s a good time to be a fan of Nintendo’s console.
