Nintendo's Reggielution Continues Apace

Gorf writes "Nintendo's now famous Reggie Fils-Aime had a presentation at the Ziff Davis Games Summit where he discussed the upcoming Nintendo DS. The full transcript is available on Ziff Davis' games web site 1UP.com." Reggie's immortal first lines? "Hello, my name is Reggie...and I'm addicted to my Blackberry. In fact, to me it's a 'Crackberry.'" 1UP is also running a related story indicating "Nintendo's DS handheld will likely see release in North America before Thanksgiving weekend, according to several sources at the [same] summit", though it's argued: "Less confidence is evident when it comes to Nintendo's ability to deliver a fleshed-out software lineup at that point, however."

Actually, Mario64 was a pioneer in 3D graphics. The 3D games on the PC that came before it either had a) bitmaps for enemies (like doom) or like 2 or 3 enemies at once (quake) and I can't think of one that had wide open areas like Mario64 did (it was quite a feat, really) and M64 still had pretty damn smooth graphics. Oh, and it was definantly a pioneer for console graphics, it was definantly the best game as far as graphics go for either that PS1 or N64 for a long time, and remained in the top 10 for a long time. ..... On the rest of your stuff, yeah, it is a story, and it's really nice to read something good coming out of the Big N's mouth.
