Wired News Asking the Hardhitting Nintendogs Questions

Sometimes you've got to get to the bottom of unusual success stories by just asking the geniuses in charge:

Wired News: The Man Who Keeps Nintendo Cool:WN: So why is Nintendogs so appealing to the masses? Miyamoto: Because rather than trying to follow industry trends, it's based on things that people find appealing in general. Not just what they find appealing in a video game. Moreover, I think that if companies are challenged financially, or are concerned only with profits, they're going to only create things that are safe, products that are proven to sell. And that's what they're going to continue to crank out. Nintendo's always been about challenging itself to come up with interesting things. People from outside might say that we make many different games with Mario every year, or a lot of Zelda games. But within those titles are always new and interesting challenges. We have the luxury of being both profitable and creative.

It's, uh, either that or people are just damned dog-crazy fanatics and don't always care if the dog is real or imaginary. I'll take a real darn dog every day. Except the day the dog can't seem to make it to the back door three times in a row. That's a tough day to ask me about my dog. read
