Reggie comments on Wii price drop impact, taking second place to PS3 last month’s NPD numbers.
GoNintendo — ... very well. We’ve been really pleased with the numbers…we’re really pleased as we get ready for the holiday season.” - Reggie Fils-Aime Reggie also commented on the Wii being beat by the PS3 in sales totals for NPD numbers last month. “You have to put it in perspective. Sony had 5 full weeks of price reduction in their favor. We had the one week, and even with that the gap was pretty small.” Link

Reggie talks third party support for the holiday, quality third party offerings, tells core gamers to stop crying and open up their wallets
GoNintendo — ... those core gamers that aren’t playing the Wii day-in/day-out, I’m saying look at what you’re missing. They’re missing Dead Space: Extraction…that is a high quality title. Madworld was a good title, The Conduit was a very good title. One of the questions that I keep asking is, for all of those core gamers who cry the blues about the lack of content, there’s been a lot of great content. Open up your wallet and buy some.” Link

Reggie’s official statement on NSMBW outselling Modern Warfare on one platform
GoNintendo — ... Modern Warfare is a a great title. As a gamer, I look forward to it. The new Modern Warfare, I think is going to be a fantastic title. Not to discount it, it will sell well. Of course I’ll play it…I play all the content out there.” - Reggie Fils-Aime I definitely think New Super Mario Bros. Wii could take Modern Warfare 2 on one platform. That platform might end up being the PS3, but it’ll still happen. Link

Nintendo’s Bill Trinen gives more details on The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
GoNintendo — ... dungeon that’s called the Tower of the Spirits, where Link and the Phantom are working together, trying to get through the traps and the puzzles…and work their way to collect these tablets. - Bill Trinen It sounds like a dungeon that you revisit, much like the one in Phantom Hourglass, makes a return. I wonder if its been tweaked to make the experience a bit better for players. I know it was a point of contention last time. Link

Miyamoto discusses the current progress of Super Mario Galaxy 2
GoNintendo — ... added some new abilities for Mario, and the goal is to take the system and the gameplay of the original Super Mario Galaxy and turn it into something that’s a little more expanded, and offers a great deal of challenge for people that enjoyed the first game. - Shigeru Miyamoto Looks like Miyamoto is on a bit of a kick making games tougher. That’s completely fine with me, I’m up for the challenge! Link

Miyamoto discusses the new features of Spirit Tracks
GoNintendo — ... Phantom mechanic to the game. Players are able to, while controlling Link, also control the Phantom with a tap of the stylus, and drawing paths for the Phantom. The two of them will venture through parts of the game together, and introduce some new puzzle-solving elements to the game through that mechanic. - Shigeru Miyamoto Nothing really new coming from Miyamoto on Spirit Tracks. Good thing we go that trailer earlier in the night! Link

Reggie comments on big Wii games for 2010, but won’t confirm Zelda Wii for that year
GoNintendo — ... haven’t committed to Zelda for 2010. Miyamoto said that it was tracking for 2010…so we’ll see how that continues to develop. - Reggie Fils-Aime I was just talking about this the other day. I really don’t think Zelda Wii is going to come out 2010. We’ll get a trailer at this year’s E3, I will bet on that. Other than that, I don’t think we’ll be seeing much of Link outside the DS. Link

Reggie once again says no Wii HD, says we’ll have to wait for more on Vitality Sensor
GoNintendo — ... that there is no Wii HD. - Reggie Fils-Aime Reggie also talks a bit about the Vitality Sensor, but says we’ll have to wait for the real info. The reason for waiting is, when we show off the Vitality Sensor, we want to do that with software. So people can understand it and visualize it…see what it can do. That’s the one piece of hardware and software that I haven’t seen. I haven’t seen that since E3. Link

Reggie not committing to 2010 release of Zelda Wii
Nintendo Everything - Our second language is Nintendo++ — ... and COO of Nintendo of America, on the latest episode of GameTrailers TV… “You mentioned Zelda, we haven’t committed to Zelda for 2010. That’s what he (Miyamoto hoping to release the game next year) said. So we’ll see how that continues to develop.” For some reason, I just don’t see Zelda Wii coming out next year. We’ll already have seen two huge Nintendo games – Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M. Besides, Nintendo has delayed their last few Zelda titles quite often. Source Related posts: ...

Super Mario Galaxy 2 approaching the end of development
Nintendo Everything - Our second language is Nintendo++ — ... the system and the gameplay of the original Super Mario Galaxy and turn it into something that’s a little more expanded and offers a great deal of challenge for people that enjoyed that first game.” The original Super Mario Galaxy provides an incredibly entertaining experience, so following the game’s announcement, I was extremely happy. And if Galaxy 2 was to be more of the same (although I don’t think it will be), just being able to roam around in new levels would be fantastic. Source Related posts: ...

pure nintendo — “On each of our platforms their are over 140 new titles coming as well. There’s going to be just ton’s of software. Here’s what you see in terms of third party. You see games like The Beatles: Rock Band that started out on competitive platforms quite strong, but the holiday season looks to be all Nintendo in terms of what they’re going to be selling.
