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."

You're not going to start getting like that nomino, picking up on spelling mistakes now are you?

That would be an all time low from you!

Insultive?

If I remember correctly, the Dreamcast was a much bigger flop than the Nintendo 64.

I'm not doubting it was a brilliant console, it just lacked sales and support. It comes ot something when my best games are some of the worst Sonic games in history, and Skies of Arcadia (which is good).

The Dreamcast owns nothing but a bundle of soiled newspapers and a bowler hat for people to throw some coppers in as it performs the flash dance in a London subway station.

I'm not in the business of insults.

I'm just mirroring what you're saying.

If you find it insultive, fair enough.

C'mon kid, think up your own insults. Or at least tell me the film that came from.

I've completed Halo - it's ok, nothing special, but I am interested in Halo 2.
