Nintendo's Miyamoto On Innovation, Wii Ambitions 263

Edge Magazine is running an interview with Nintendo game designer Shigeru Miyamoto about some of the company's recent projects, such as Wii Music and Wii Fit. Miyamoto talks about his ambitions for the titles, as well as the difficulty in continuing to entertain players by surprising them. He refers to Wii Music as "music software" rather than a game, and says the primary intent was to bring music to families and assist in music education. The conversation then turns to where Nintendo can go in the future; Miyamoto discusses integrating new technologies into popular game franchises, and the dilemma Nintendo will face when designing its next console — do they stick with updated versions of their innovative controllers, do they return to a more standard build, or do they bring a completely different input device to the table?

Comment benign worms against the RIAA (Score 2, Funny) 497

Think what would happen if a worm spread some sort of simple P2P client to every machine it hit, and just initiated random downloads of mp3's from other worm-infested nodes (and maybe users could make a "suggested downloads list" through a config file somewhere). The RIAA would get dizzy trying to find a target to sue...
