Nintendo To Sell Old Consoles To China?

drfishy writes "An interview with Nintendo president Satoru Iwata on IGN hints at the possibility of Nintendo entering the Chinese market with their products soon. The most curious part of the interview is that Satoru Iwata says Nintendo is considering releasing older generation hardware to combat piracy, could this mean the big N is going to start making Super Nintendos again? Will there be new games? How would this fight piracy?"

    The only real way I can see this fighting piracy is if they want to go back to cartridge based systems, but why not just make the products good enough that people will actually buy them.

    How's your Smell-o-vision project going?

    Your education background is pretty impressive too.

    At least you're presistant. It looks like you've managed to fool alot of people on slashdot. It is kinda funny though. Super Marx Brothers [slaps knee]

    Ha ... shows what you know

    I got your gc to pc cable right here ... it may look like speaker wire, but for $8, you can have your very own gc to pc cable that is 3' long!!

    I bet you don't even have a gc, jerk.

    Why don't you think about the starving children in the artic before you post such absurdities to a reputable site like slashdot?
