Not long until the Wii officially goes on sale now and pre-orders are shooting sky high everywhere from what I read. Not surprising really when it's a whole new way of playing games. It's all about immersion into a fantasy world after all and being able to swing your arms around to play games instead of hitting rigid buttons is just one more step in the right direction. Now you don't need to explain to people how to use buttons in games!

Anyway, just finished translating a 11,000 word interview that Nindori had with Miyamoto who talks about the whole work put into designing the DS and their new system the Wii. You can read the whole thing here.

It's an interesting read and when I go to Japan, I think I'll try visiting the Shigureden. Looks like a real nice place!
