Fils-Aime on Nintendo's Future Move
June 10, 2007 - by Ian Bogost

In an interview with the San Jose Mercury News, Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime discussed the company's planned move from Seattle to Silicon Valley. Among other justifications were the following comments:

Fils-Aime said Nintendo hoped to develop more software that blends an entertainment experience with an educational or informational use, such as a DS product in Japan that provides food recipe details.

Sounds promising right? We'll have to see what comes of it, and in particular if Nintendo intends to do this themselves or increase their collaborations with third-parties.
