“[Apple] is not having an impact on Nintendo when you look at our business, our volume, our hardware, our software. I’ve seen data that suggestions that while consumers are constantly downloading Apps, they play with them for a few times and then they are moving on to the next thing. Clearly it doesn’t look like their platform is a viable profit platform for game development because so many of the games are free versus paid downloads. If our games represent a range between snacks of entertainment and full meals depending on the type of game, (Apple’s) aren’t even a mouthful, in terms of the gaming experience you get.” – Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime

The thing about the iPad is that it’s not a traditional system. There’s much more to the device that just gaming. Also, unlike Nintendo’s handhelds, playing titles won’t be of huge importance to some consumers. I’m sure that not everyone immediately thinks of gaming when the iPad is brought up.

“Don’t worry, we have plenty more games we’ll be announcing, most likely all within the next few weeks.” – XSEED responding to a fan email

Hopefully we’ll see some announcements for the Wii and DS. There are a ton of games I’d like to see localized for North America.

“If there was the possibility, I’d be very interested [in creating a game for Nintendo]. But I’d have to be able to create an original title.” – Suda51

Yeah, I’m not too sure how well Mario and Travis Touchdown would mix. But maybe the first step for Suda51’s wish is to get Travis in the next Smash Bros. game!

DeviantArt user “DreamMyst” used 1,250 pieces to construct the Mega Man origami. An additional 252 pieces were then used to build the companion figure, Mettaur. I must say, both creations look impressive!

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions hasn’t been confirmed for Nintendo platforms yet, but I’d be surprised if the game didn’t land on the Wii/DS.

– Beenox Studios working on the game
– Spider-Man will visit numerous locations instead of just the city
– “prepare to be surprised with the unique, unexpected worlds Spider-Man will adventure through in Activision’s latest foray”
– New universe “never before seen in Spider-Man video games”
– Will have two new villians
– More details at Wonder Con next week

“What I’ll be doing 10 years from now, I have no idea. All I can say is that I like being a snowball. Year after year I like to keep piling up ideas and know-how and experiences. One thing I’m sure I’d like to be working on is our efforts to make games accessible for everybody, so that every single household can take for granted that there is a game console in their house.” – Shigeru Miyamoto

It’s really tough to imagine Miyamoto ever retiring since he’s been with Nintendo so long. This goes without saying, but he is truly one of the most influential members of the video game industry. I hope that in ten years, Miyamoto is still working on Nintendo franchises and hardware.
