Say hello to new Nintendo

Sunday 13-Apr-2008 10:45 AM Since Nintendo made its move from Redmond to the Bay Area, the company's seen a lot of changes

29 Comments

Gone are so many faces, old friends, that had been with the firm since, seemingly, the Late Cretacian Period. They didn't move down with the company and so new people have been brought in. It's like a new Star Trek crew just moved in, with Reggie still in charge, on the bridge, taking names etc...

Today, at a press conf in San Francisco, we got to say hello. Fronting the new team is Cammie Dunaway, exec veep of s&m.; The big news is; she's charming. We like her lots.

Sporting a busted arm (snowboarding accident) she said, "I'm working for the only company with a controller you can play with while undergoing major wrist surgery. I guess I'm living Wiihab."

She's been at the Nintendo Koolaid, which is something we've all been glugging in recent times. "I saw it from Mister Iwata the very first time I spoke with him," she said. "He told me that our job is to share the joy of the gaming experience with everyone." She said his enthusiasm is "authentic and genuine", which is right on the money for anyone who has met the great man.

Today, Nintendo showed us two of its biggest "bridge titles" that will share the joy of gaming with all those new gamers who bought Wiis. Mario Super Sluggers is a character-based baseball game that will attempt to move Wii Sporters further into the Nintendo world.

Likewise, Wii Fit looks like an amazing product that is going to break all kinds of records. I advise you pre-order and get practicing your push-ups. Someone, soon, is going to want to know your rating on that game.

Nintendo is showing off a bunch of other games, along with third parties, that will be revealed in the media next week (embargoes are in place). Safe to say, another big year for Big N.
