Monday Thoughts: The Reggilution/The Miyamoto-verse.
There was a question posed this weekend on Infendo radio of who has had more of an impact on Nintendo, Reggie or Miyamoto. My initial answer was that since being hired in 2003 Reggie has been the driving force for the rebirth of Nintendo and is the reason I am here so for me Reggie is the impact player at Nintendo.

Miyamoto to keynote 2007 GDC
I’ve seen a few interviews with Shigeru Miyamoto during the build-up to the launch of Nintendo’s Wii console, but don’t recall seeing him give a speech for a while. Apparently it’s been almost eight years since he’s provided a keynote speech for GDC [read 1999’s speech here]. Let’s hope he’s ready for March 8th, when he delivers the keynote speech at...
