Nintendo's president Satoru Iwata sat down for a probing interview with Newsweek's N'Gai Croal. While N'Gai admits the interview was long overdue for publishing (it was taken back during E307), it has several interesting tidbits within. It only makes us think that it should've been published that much sooner.Iwata takes time to talk about all things, including the widespread popularity of the DS in Japan, as well as the low sale numbers for Twilight Princess in the region. Iwata also says that third-party publishers shouldn't be scared of Nintendo's software success on the platform, stating that, in the end, it'll actually end up being better for third-party publishers.

3RD parties should avoid release dates of good games if they want to sell and make money.

Yeah, it's totally Nintendo's fault that everyone else's games suck ass.

But they're coming. We've been promised some good stuff from topspin tennis, NiGHTS 2 and No More Heroes, beyond that, not much is known about the Wii's upcoming lineup, and at least 2 of those titles could wind up flopping (No More Heroes is a guaranteed win)

First party begets third party? Since when? Did that strategy work for the N64 and GameCube?

Successful games make other successful games possible? I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS NEWS.
