"The game industry has had its time to exploit movie studios all day long and to get away with producing inferior products," says Hall. "But, with Warner Brothers, no more. Those days are over. And we mean it. This isn't just lip service. Honestly, the bad games are over."

Latest effort to make Japan love the Xbox hits the airwaves
After price cuts, special edition packs, software bundles and even "hugging pillows" featuring Kasumi from Dead or Alive, the latest attempt to make Japanese gamers interested in Microsoft's Xbox has emerged - a satellite TV show dedicated to the console, co-hosted by a soft porn starlet.

Unforunately, I did not see it personally, but my good friend I went to the show with did. He was asking for a certain poster and they took him into the invite only area to get it for him. He followed in. And there, he saw a miniature XBox (about 1/3 the size of the current version), running Jade Emprie demo. It had the DVD drive in the middle of the face instead of the left side, and still had 4 ports, and styling resembled the current one. It looked "ready to be put on the shelf" according to him. They rushed him and his friends back out with the poster, but he was absolutely positive about what he saw.
Later We were at the Tecmo booth talking to a marketing honcho we know there and we mentioned it to him and his reaction was "we didn't get our's yet!" instead of "really! I didn't know such thing existed". Apprently he was already expecting theirs.

Time to express your opinion on The Big N. Let us know what you think we can do to improve our products, services and image. I won't be responding to every thought or opinion, but I will read them all, as will others.
If there are any really good ideas, I'll pass them along as my own. Woah! Eval Pickle moment...scratch that.
Some bulletpoints to get your brainstorming juices going:
What features do you wish the Nintendo GameCube had, but doesn't.
What do you think are the best improvements in the GCN over the N64.
What do our competitor's systems do, that the GCN should do?
What genres of games should we focus on?
Connectivity: Proven fun that should continue vs. gimmick that didn't work.
Think of the above stuff, but with Game Boy in mind.
If you think Nintendo has a kiddie image, why?
What kind of image do you think we should strive for? How do we get there?
The warranty on our hardware is four-times longer than our competitors. Do you care? Does service have anything to do with purchasing decisions?
What do we need to quit doing? What do we do that makes you go "Oh...man...not again!"
What do we need to do more of? What do we do that makes you go "Oh, yeah! WOOT! Nintendo rocks!"
