I stoked but how did the lawyers work this one out? Owned by Nintendo, developed by Rare (now Microsoft), the James Bond license, ...weird.

It was awesome watching the trailer and recognising old locations, subtly different.

Sure, Ian.

But I still can't find where you explain why you're using quote marks for something that isn't quoting anyone, or any sort of examination of whether Apple really IS eating Nintendo's lunch.

I think your article is drawing together a few unrelated things to fit a false narrative. Matt C was hired by Apple? Crunchgear has anecdotes about their iPhone use?

Is there no room for iPods now the iPhone is out?

This is a microtransaction based game. You can buy additional logs for 100 Nintendo points. A Poker costs 500.

The online co-op is its strongest feature.

Got to call you on this. Quote marks in the title make it seem like it was a statement made by Iwata. It wasn't. It was a journalist 'understanding' what Iwata is rumoured to have said, it isn't even explicitly sourced. The Times used to be a newspaper you could somewhat rely on, but its coverage is going increasingly downmarket and it should not be relied on.

I'd have much preferred you guys to have written an article critiquing what the Times is reporting. I.e. Apple's market share has mostly come at the expense of Sony. Iwata has repeatedly said he doesn't consider Apple to be a threat.

I await the Wiire's review with interest. Expected first lawsuit: California Man throws water over expensive home theatre system, sues Nintendo

Are you sure this was released for the Wii? It looks like an N64 game.

Typical. Just as your podcast hits us, a megaton is announced. Now I have to wait a week to hear your opinion on the DS 3D.

Aah right, you're talking about more meaningful connectivity between DS successor and Wii successor. I'm not sure how it would work in practice.

I'm tired of Nintendo's laziness too! I mean they just copy Sony, 3 years earlier! How lazy can you get!!!!1111oneone.

Interesting article: another nice side effect of reusing the Wii's many peripherals is the vendor lock in! Next generation, when looking at an upgrade, you can get the PS4, YBox or Super Wii. If you pick Super Wii, you can reuse your balance board, your controllers, your zapper, your Wiispeak, your Vitality sensor and your USB waffle iron. Or you can buy it all over again for a different console- which do you think will be more attractive?
