Video interview: Nintendo of America's Bill Trinen

Good interview. I really enjoy these new videos on the site from the staff.

maybe some developer could use the vitality thing to make one of those rhythm music games that seem so popular................but this would let you hear the music in your heart

Ok they should fire that cammie bitch and have this guy do everything they normally would have her do. I realize he was at E3 but more of him and less of crazy bitch is better

I can't read a video interview in the middle of my Vietnam History class, damn it!

Very pleasant, even if he was a bit longwinded at times. I too am liking the new video formats, very slick.

On to the talking points...
1. I am quite pleased with what they decided to do with Resort, to give that island its distinct personality, that you can really see it and appreciate its features as you go around some of the more world-spanning games (golf, airplane, and bike)

2. The question of Wii Speak is more a matter of "when will Nintendo release a high-profile, partly cooperative online game again?" It wasn't worth it financially (nor would it have been useful for the gameplay itself) for ExciteBots, which was the only online game they've put out since City Folk. It would be useful for Endless Ocean 2, which seems to be the only online game of theirs on the horizon

3. They feel validated by Sony and Microsoft's E3 announcements, and rightfully so. There's no better way to be awarded the title of industry leader than to have both of your competitors reveal competing schemes within 24 hours of each other. And they are equally right to be confident about the fact that their solution is here, now (sitting near my laptop as i type), while Natal is a vague 2010 and Sony's solution is, by their own admission, still in prototype.

4. Pikmin, as i've said before, wasn't really in development when they said it was in development. Shiggy said last time that, as of E3 last year, there was only a two-man team on the Pikmin 3 project, just hashing out the basics. Real development didn't start until this year.

This guy is great. He should take Reggie's place.

Still want to know how the Vitality Sensor will work, but other than that greta interview.

I imagine the citizens of NYC liked this about as much as a visit from the Stay Puft Mashmallow man.

I couldn't stop thinking about how he moves his jaw like a cow eating grass. Stop it!

test.
