Interesting... Apparently he actually thinks a game like Nintendogs is unique... I am VERY skeptical about such a claim... I'll need Nintendo to prove to me that this isn't just Japanese Dogz.
Moving along, Nintendo's comments regarding Mario games don't surprise me. As ABF suspected all along they are not only in the planning stages, they are in the very primordial "huh, what should we really even do here?" stages. That says that pretty much nothing is done, at all.
And once again, their controller is "super innovative". Now analog I can see, that really changed the degree of control one has in a game (though it did exist before then, it wasn't really standard on a gamepad). Rumble was a gimic, pure and simple. Zelda is the only game to really use it for gameplay purposes, and it wasn't even needed. Wireless is just a cord issue.
So, I fear what this epic big gun could be... Miyamoto don't drop the ball on this one...
