  Sad that everyone hates her.
  
  She could have said it in a different way except "keep playing Mk:Wii..."
  
  Idea! Fire! Fire her!

  That was the most stupidest thing ever "delete games your not playing" what if you want to come back and play those games a few months later? My little brother is more hardcore than some of nintendo's games.

  Solution to lack of new hardcore games? Keep playing Mario Kart. Brilliant!

  Wait.... so that we can play other games, we need to delete our old file data? Okay, that's arguably dumb. /palm
  
  Also, the fact she said "Stick to Mario Kart and Smash Bros" for the hardcore gamers will surely result in some angry fanmail, or worse, they lose the respect of their hardcore fans.

  She thinks we can be won with playing games that are only fun playing with other people? That's her definition of hardcore? Why is she even in Nintendo, that video gave me Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

  I just find it amusing how the irate reactions of gamers who follow E3 won't actually matter a damn when all the "casual gamers" ends up buying Wii Sports Resort and "Cooking Guide" on the DS in truckloads. It's like Nintendo have gone out of their way to prove with this E3 that the "hardcore gaming audience" doesn't matter that much any more from a business point of view. And they're probably right. :/

  Geez kids get back on the Ritalin. She's VP for sales and marketing for Nintendo America (as in the American branch of a huge global corporation). Also, she hasn't even been there a year yet. Cut the woman some slack. I highly doubt she gets much news on the way of development. Her job mostly consists of marketing products that are soon to be, or are already out there.
  
  I saw no where in that video that should get you guys as mad as you're acting. She said what I said in other news article. The "hardcore" games you want JUST CAME OUT! It's only been a few months since Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, and Mario Kart Wii came out. All she was saying was enjoy the new games, try the ones that are coming down the pipe, and wait until they have some actual news to announce about future titles.
  
  And as for the SD card comment. She's right. Until they get the problem solved just delete the games so you can put more on. They aren't going anywhere.
  
  The way some of you act on this site really perpetuates the stereo types that gamers are hot-headed brats who are prone to violence. "Bitch?" "Kill her?" Really you almost make Jack Thompson look right...

    I'm sure everyone on here has already beaten Super Mario Galaxy, since it was pretty much one of the only games we had to look forward to everyone would buy it in the first couple weeks. Now what? Everyone beat it, so let's wait months for another game, Brawl? What? Everyone got that in the first couple weeks too, so people are getting bored and can't have all of their friends over every minute of every day to fully enjoy it? Well, here's Mario Kart, but wait, the same thing happened as Brawl? Can we get some news about some good new games coming out? No? Brawl and Mario Kart will have to do?
    
    It's pretty much just a giant cockslap to gamers and people who (used to) have faith in Nintendo.

      And your point is? The time it takes to beat a game does not equal the time it takes to develop a game. You can't feasibly expect them to have a fully fleshed out idea for the next game a few months after the current was released.
      
      You're basically saying that you're losing faith in a company because they can't pump out games fast enough for you. Guess what?
      
      They never have. NES had 3 traditional (meaning platformer) mario games during it's life of well over 5 years. SNES had 2 for another 5 or so years. N64 had one. Gamecube had one also. Donkey Kong, Zelda, and Kirby follow similiar suits if not less games. Nintendo takes a while to make games. Why? I don't know. I guess maybe they have small development teams that work for only one franchise. In any suit, it works for them.
      
      I guess I may see this differently because I'm older and have been around as long as Nintendo has, but to me this is just par for the course for them.

        I never said Nintendo had to make the games, but since she's in Nintendo and she probably has SOME insight as to what games are going to be coming out, like people have been saying about Conduit and stuff, she could have said something about those.

  Well her responses may be upsetting to people, but really, what do you expect? What can Nintendo really do about storage? What can you realistically expect, as far as hardcore games? This is the Wii. This is the reality of the console and the direction that Nintendo has been going for long enough to make your decision(s) beforehand. It's not even this woman's fault. You're all talking like she designed the Wii. She's just telling it like it is. They see the gold mine they have in the casual audience and I don't think they can be bothered to put too much attention on the rest of the crowd. Sadly, the rest of that crowd is the real gamers who brought the industry to where it is today.

  Whoa guys...
  
  I believe another official at Nintendo said in one of the private interviews that they WERE actively seeking solutions to the storage issue but they hadn't made any decisions yet.

  Ugh, first they call us "otaku" then they basically tell us to "deal with it"? Ive had enough of it.
  
  The last Nintendo games im gonna buy are Animal Crossing: City Folk and possibly the new Zelda and Kid Icarus titles. If they still dont make a Hard Drive, or heck a better console, by then, I will no longer be a fan of their works.

  Oh calm down. Everyone will get over her statements eventually. I mean look at Sony's Howard Stringer. He's questioned the intelligence of consumers/gamers when PS3's don't fly off the shelves, and he repeatedly belittles competitors Nintendo and Microsoft with condescending remarks.
  
  These execs need to put on that air of superiority sometimes. It's just how they do things (which is why talking to the devs is so much more awesome and enlightening).

    Because the devs are creative souls that make the games we all know, love and want to buy. We can relate to them easier because they were if not are just like us, gamers who are dying for that next awesome game to play.
    
    The Execs are the suit and tie jerkwipes we all hate and love to quote because they don't know shit about the games their respective companies are selling. It's king of sad.

  Pffttt, I don't know why Nintendo didn't fire her yet since she gave a negative influence on the Wii.

  What the hell is a hardcore game anyway? I R TOTULLEE HARDKOR GAYMUR!! Yeah, anyone who says that sounds like the biggest dork ever, lol. That storage thing really pisses me off though. The only way to use a USB drive is to mod your system. And that's great and all until Nintendo bricks your Wii with a system update, which is pretty pathetic because the time and effort spent on bricking people who want a little more out of their systems could have been spent making the Wii compatible with external hard drives and/or flash thumb drives.

    Lawl, Greatest article ever. Sadly the Wii limitations atm can't be change, but since Sonic has stated they're looking into ways to fix it should be a sign of confidence hope.
