“I’ve said this — and it may have been in one of your interviews –from the get-go. I as a gamer — and Nintendo as a company — would love to see a new ‘Grand Theft Auto’ on our home console. We think the volume opportunity is there…Our job is to create the installed base for that type of opportunity to be leveraged. It’s Take-Two and Rockstar’s opportunity to make the game…We support publishers with marketing investment. We don’t buy exclusivity.” – Reggie Fils-Aime

“It [Disaster: Day of Crisis] is not on our announcement plan.” – Reggie Fils-Aime

“We are not the publisher of that title [Fatal Frame 4] in the Americas. So I can’t comment on it… I don’t know if it has a publisher.” – Reggie Fils-Aime

“I think that’s a great question to ask me in early June at E3 [if this year’s fall lineup will be better than last year’s]…You know, one of the things that we know is that our loyal fans have huge expectations for us. When we give them the smallest little inkling, it gets exploded into expectations that are almost impossible to meet.” – Reggie Fils-Aime

“It [downloading games onto SD card] doesn’t change our core philosophy. And our philosophy around demos has always been: how much demo do you provide to have the consumer excited but not so much that all they do is play the demo? That’s been an ongoing Nintendo philosophy.” – Reggie Fils-Aime

Quite a bit of news here…But unfortunately, a lot of it is disappointing. No Disaster: Day of Crisis, no word on Fatal Frame 4, and it doesn’t look like the Wii will be receiving demos in the near future. But hey – At least Reggie wants GTA on Wii.

“For Arc Rise Fantasia, as for all Japanese games with voice-acting that we work on, it usually depends on if the game disc can hold both the English and Japanese voice data (which can be huge), and if we are allowed to use the original voices in North America because a lot of times they only have the rights to be used for Japan. We always try, but it depends on these variables on if we can actually keep the original voices or not.” – Ken, XSEED

I hope that the English voice acting in Arc Rise Fantasia is halfway decent. I wouldn’t mind too much missing out on Japanese voiceovers, but it would be a nice addition.
