“Last year we focused on Wii Music, and that is a title that’s very important to [Nintendo’s head of game development, Shigeru] Miyamoto, and for all of the criticism, it’s still a title that on a global basis has sold over two million copies.”

“I have personally seen a lot of iterations of similar technology (speaking about Sony/Microsoft’s motion sensing tech). Our first reaction is that it is ironic that, three or four years ago, the prevailing industry opinion was that prettier pictures or more horsepower were the waves of the future. And now it’s clear from both of our competitors that physical activity in gaming is the wave of the future. It’s also ironic that, for Nintendo, the future is here. The future is now.”

“(speaking of a DSi VC service) I know there has been a lot of speculation, but we have no plans for that.”

The most important point in these updates from Reggie – for me at least – is that there are “no plans” for the DSi VC. I was shocked that Nintendo did not make an announcement at E3…It’s something that I feel would not only make sense from a financial standpoint, but also from a consumer point of view.

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– A U.S. District Court judge has summarily dismissed a patent-infringement lawsuit against Nintendo brought by Guardian Media Technologies, Ltd. Guardian had alleged that the Wii™ console infringed on one of its patents (U.S. Patent No. 4,930,158). Judge Manuel Real of the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles entered an order granting Nintendo’s motion for summary judgment of non-infringement on June 8, 2009, less than six months after the lawsuit was filed.

“We are very pleased with the Court’s decision,” said Rick Flamm, Nintendo of America’s senior vice president of Legal and general counsel. “Nintendo vigorously defends patent lawsuits. At the earliest stages of this case, Nintendo convinced the Court to dismiss this case as Guardian’s patent had nothing to do with Nintendo’s products.”

We had a solid number of months before experiencing any sort of site issues, but as you can see….Well, we were dead. According to our genius tech guy, Alex, the server ran out of room. So, obviously no more hard drive space translates into…Death!

Everything is good to go from this point on. The site has received an upgrade, and there should be no more errors (including 504s which began to pop up last night) anymore on Nintendo Everything.

In any case, enjoy your stay and I deeply apologize for the downtime!

Kick It Into High Gear and Go Head-To-Head With Family and Friends on the Wii and Nintendo DS
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 11, 2009 – It’s time to rev up the engines and race into an all-new adventure with the MySims™! The EA Play Label of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced today that MySims Racing for the Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ zooms into retail outlets next week. The latest title in the popular MySims franchise starts players as wannabe speedsters and after working their way up the ranks, it is time for them to burn rubber against the toughest MySims rival racers on the trickiest tracks in Speedville. The excitement never stops as the more successful the player is on the track, the more they will be able to customise their kart and trick it out with new engines and bodies. Designed specifically from the ground up for the Nintendo platforms, MySims Racing offers something for everyone who wants to live life in the fast lane.

“The MySims have had many adventures and conquered many challenges, but for the first time we find them behind the wheels of their own customized vehicles,” said Tim LeTourneau, General Manager of the MySims Franchise. “MySims Racing combines the fun and quirky MySims spirit our fans love with fast-paced action-packed arcade racing. We can’t wait for players to take this game for a spin.”
