This comes once again from Reggie, on the latest episode of GameTrailers TV…

“We haven’t announced a launch date, maybe we’ll do that at E3 [The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks]. You know, everyone wants to know what we’re going to announce at E3 and my answer is, come to E3 and you’ll see…From Nintendo’s perspective, we always go into E3 with a very high bar wanting to satisfy not only the core fans but also ourselves. We’re hoping to do a much better job this year. You’ll have to see for yourself.”

Towards the end of the show, Reggie also added in this comment:

“And all of your fans will love it [E3]. We can guarantee that.”


Nintendo’s President and COO of Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aime was recently asked about what worries him in terms of the competition. Fils-Aime commented on both the PS3 and 360, saying that the Sony has some challenges with the PS3 and that Nintendo looks to see what can be done to be better than Xbox Live.

“What worries me, if I would focus in on Microsoft, we’ve always looked at what they’ve been able to do from an Xbox Live standpoint and we constantly want to say, ‘What can we do to be better than Xbox Live?’…It’s a little hard [to say something nice about the PS3]…They’ve got some great games that they’ve been able to bring out, they’ve been able to get some fantastic content. But, you know, you look at the results and clearly they’ve got some challenges.”

25-year-old Clinton Echols was taken into custody on Thursday under suspicion that he shot his friend, Luis Urbina, while playing a war video game. Echols was initially taken in for questioning on Wednesday and was later released, but as the story unraveled, police arrested the man. Echols failed to call the police immediately and sadly, by the time assistance arrived, it was too late to save Urbina. This, coupled with other dubious claims in Echols’ explanation led to his arrest. Echols said that he was showing off his gun while the two were playing video games, though it was accidentally fired and resulted in a bullet hitting his friend in the chest.

It is unclear at this time if video games took on a more prominent role than Echolos was willing to let on, if it really was an accidental shooting, or something else entirely. An autopsy was scheduled for Echols’ body on Thursday and could lead to further answers. Both men were sailors and served on the USS Ronald Reagan.

The DSi launched late last year in Japan and now other territories have had a chance to get their hands on the system. Not everyone is a complete fan of the handheld, though. Those struggling with the decision to make a purchase are probably considering what makes the system a must-buy. Well, here are our top 5 reasons.

Physical changes

It’s amazing to see how far the DS had advanced cosmetically. The DS Phat was a monster of a system – It was bulky, unstylish, and downright unattractive. The DSi continues to make improvements in terms of physical appearance with advances such as bigger screens. The system also weighs a little bit less than the DS Lite and comes with a slightly larger stylus. Other changes include a relocation of the power button so that you don’t turn the system off accidentally and a matte finish so that fingerprints are less noticeable.

“This is just the tip of the iceberg, there are new graphical technologies we’ve already developed that came along too late to include in The Conduit.” – Matt Corso, High Voltage Software

What we’ve seen thus far in Super Mario Galaxy and The Conduit have already impressed me, but this is really great news for Wii owners searching for games with more higher-quality graphical effects. If more can be squeezed out of the system, there will probably be less complaint’s about how titles look – that is, if developers take advantage of everything the system has to offer.
