We discussed how a new Tingle game was being teased in the latest edition of Famitsu a few days ago, but now Nintendo has opened up an official website. There’s not much to do upon visiting, though you can participate in a tarot cards reading. A trailer is expected next Thursday.

“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.
