Miyamoto's big secret Gamecube game: Pacman??!!

[A Black Falcon]

Yeah, unlike Nintendo fansites, they sure are being tough... and as per usual Nintendo dodged a bunch of them.

Gameforms: Another thing that was mentioned at the press conference was that the Gamecube systems hadn’t sold through this past year according to projections. Won’t the push for connectivity only focus on a niche of players that have a Gamecube, a GBA, and friends with GBA’s, instead of bringing in new players that don’t have either system?

Palomares: Well, it’s definitely…I mean, connectivity is not the main road we are going to take. We’re still going to be focusing on games, and we’re always going to be looking to give an enhancement to the experience of playing games. Basically, I don’t feel like we’re alienating anybody by focusing on connectivity. If anything, we’re definitely pushing our product. You know, Game Boy Advance is obviously a very popular system. There’s a lot of people that still don’t have it, but I keep it with me all the time. The SP appeals to a more mature audience, the backlight is good…when you think about the Game Boy and the older demographic we’re talking about, who started playing games on the NES, you get the same quality of games as back then on a portable machine, or, if anything, with higher quality. You’ve got over a thousand titles on the Game Boy system. So I think people are going to start looking at that. It’s got a lot of RPG’s, a lot more coming out that should be good, and a lot of games that I think appeal to the older demographic. So I think it’s going to be something that will push more hardware.

Like IGN used to say... he must be one of the Nintendo Jedis! :)
