The highlight of this talk is the first line, with Miyamoto opening: "What? Am I the only one being interviewed today?" Come on Iwata, look at Mr. Miyamoto's day planner (pictured above), that man is busy (laughs).

Prince William recently played some Wii tennis when "visiting the Valleys Kids Project at the Pen Dinas Flats, in Dinas in the Rhondda Valleys." I just quoted the story because I have no idea what any of that means. Reportedly he won though, which jives with earlier reports that he received a Wii last Christmas, and that the Queen herself played some bowling on it.

I'm a big fan of celebrities, and even royalty, playing video games. Makes me think that if I ever happen to be chillin' with a famous person that we can bond over gaming.

Forbes is reporting that Hiroshi Yamauchi, retired chairman of Nintendo, is now Japan's richest businessperson. The 80 year old legend of the industry is now worth $7.8 billion. I'm curious to know who's inheriting his stock once he dies.

"Pimp hand is strong." - Rorschach
