BBC report on E3 Nintendo performance

"Nintendo's conference was like a retirement home for classic game developers as Toru Iwatani, the brains behind Pac-Man, played on-stage against Mario wunderkind, Shigeru Miyamoto, who is currently working on an all-new Pac-Man title.

Refreshingly self-critical, the assembled masses were told of the mistakes the big N made with marketing the GameCube, and the difficulty the traditionally family-orientated company was having in appealing to modern, gore-obsessed players.

But their president, Satoru Iwata, in a nod to the Grand Theft Auto series, assured Nintendo-philes: "You won't see Mario shoot a hooker".

And while we were assured the GameCube had a rosy future, its successor is already officially in development."

A bunch of kids telling "the truth" about consoles.
Bwahahahahahaha

*wipes eyes*

Sorry, I forgot though, one of you works in a computer games shop. I didn't realise the amount of insider knowledge that was imparted to such valuable members of the computer industry.

Gamecube is the best for games?
According to what criteria?
