AllThingsD has published a new interview with Nintendo of America president Reggie-Fils Aime. Fils-Aime was quizzed on Black Friday sales and how the Wii continues to break records, social gaming, his thoughts on the free-to-play model, and more.

Interestingly, he said that Nintendo will experiment with other forms of monetization, though he wouldn’t really elaborate about what the company may have in store. Reggie also slipped in some quick talk about the Wii U, in which he said that “it will speak to a different consumer than the one that is buying the Wii today during the holidays.”

Head past the break for all of Reggie’s remarks.

It’s been a very, very long time since a mainline Final Fantasy game came to a Nintendo home console. But if GamesMaster UK is to be believed, the situation will change with Final Fantasy XV.

The magazine claims that Square Enix will hold a press conference at E3 2012. During the event, they’ll announce Final Fantasy XV for Wii U, as well as the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

This is just speculation at this point. Magazine rumors tend to be hit or miss, so take this with a grain of salt.

First, Watsham was asked how many long it’ll take to complete Mutant Mudds:

“First-time players will probably need about 8 hours to complete the game. Once you know what you’re doing, you’re looking at around 3 – 4 hours to complete each of the 40 levels.”

As expected, Nintendo won’t have anything new to show for Wii U at CES 2012. As was the case with the 3DS earlier this year, the system will be shown behind closed doors to media members who missed out on experiencing the console at E3. The company will not have a booth at CES.

Nintendo said in a statement:

“Nintendo of America, working with the 2012 International CES management, will offer demos of the upcoming Wii U console to members of the media who did not see the system at the 2011 E3 Expo. However, Nintendo will not have a booth at CES, nor does it plan to include any games, experiences or information beyond what was available at the 2011 E3 Expo. Production and development efforts remain on track for the Wii U launch, which will take place between the start of the 2012 E3 Expo in June, and the end of 2012.”

We’ve known for some time that Wii U will see a proper information blowout at E3 2012. Maybe we’ll get a nugget or two during GDC, but there’s a good chance that Nintendo will remain quiet until June.
