“[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.

“Trackmania is a much more skill-based racing game, rewarding players who master the vehicles and the tracks. Without wanting to belittle the achievements of the team who made Wheelspin, I feel that we’ve got a game that pushes, physics and gameplay further than any other racing title on the Wii.” – Trackmania producer Dan Fletcher

I have a lot of faith in Trackmania Wii since the DS title was of very high-quality. I’m sure the game won’t have a hard time topping Wheelspin!
