In his GDC Keynote speech today, Satoru Iwata said he wants Nintendo WiFi Connection to be like mySpace in terms of ease of use and popularity. He also compared Revolution's Virtual Console service to iTunes and said that once other companies saw it, they jumped on board eagerly. This claim was backed up by the announcement that Sega Genesis (Megadrive) and TurboGrafx games will be available for the Virtual Console, in addition to Nintendo's own games from NES, SNES, and N64.
Although Nintendo's business practices, design philosophies, and devoted fanbase have long drawn comparisons to Apple from commentators, this is the first time Nintendo has favorably compared itself to the company. In the past, Reggie Fils-Aime has briefly mentioned iPod sales being dwarfed by Game Boy Advance sales, though that was before iPod had its biggest quarter yet in Fall 2005.

Who went to a faraway land,
He dropped a few names
When describing his games
And everyone thought he was grand.

If you're into lyrical spice,
But before you leave,
Do not decieve,
Us all with your poetic vice.

I had not intended to slight.
Not tomorrow, today or tonight,
But five-foot then three
Is how it must be
Or else it just isn't right!

On the subject, Myspace could be an indication of the Rev online model. Each Rev gamer has a personal page, a friends list, and a cam-whore pose in their profile.
