E3: PSP

[A Black Falcon]

IGN: What's the battery life for DS?

Perrin Kaplan: Very similar to the SP and I think very different from the PSP. I'm not quite sure why Sony said "Two to 10 hours" [for PSP's battery life]. That must mean that it's two hours.

Other interesting parts.

IGN: What happened to Silicon Knights?

Perrin Kaplan: They are going to continue the business of what they do. We respect the work that they have done. They are a really, really good team. I just think Nintendo and Silicon Knights have slightly different priorities, which does happen in business quite frequently. But we have a lot of mutual respect for each other.

IGN: We just bumped into Denis Dyack, president of Silicon Knights, as he was on his way into a Nintendo meeting. So what kind of plot are you hatching?

Perrin Kaplan: There is nothing that precludes us from having a relationship. I mean, they may make a product for DS or otherwise. But it's just purely as a second-party -- that part of the relationship has changed.

IGN: What happened to Mario 128?

Perrin Kaplan: Miyamoto continues to work on a variety of different games and I think he's still got that in development, but he's just not ready to present it. He's got his attention on so many things and now with the DS coming he's just going to begin to finalize what he's working on. It has not disappeared, though, I'll just say that.

IGN: Are you aware of the Reggie-lution?

Perrin Kaplan: I might be part of the Reggie-lution. We have a lot of secret plans as far as the Reggie-lution is concerned. We conspire often. We conspire greatly. And just be careful because the flowers that bud around his feet are toxic.

IGN: The codename Revolution implies a new way to play games. Can we safely assume that this will be the case?

Perrin Kaplan: I think DS shows a new way to play games. The opportunities for that seem almost endless. Our hope and intent is to create something as unique as DS [with Revolution].
