Nintendo says ‘I’m sorry, so sorry’

Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata

Forbes.com scored an interview this week with Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata.

One of the things Iwata addressed was the disappointment the console’s hardcore fans expressed over Nintendo’s E3 news conference. He called any claims that Nintendo has been ignoring its core gamers “a misunderstanding.”

Normally at E3, Nintendo makes a major announcement, or at the very least talks about an upcoming Super Mario or Zelda game. But not this time around.

Read what Iwata had to say after the break.

Huh? Nobody told me I wasn’t seeking gorgeous graphics. Actually, that’s not true. I’m not seeking them, I expect them. Microsoft and Sony can deliver new tech alongside excellent HD graphics, so why can’t Nintendo?

I mean I love the Nintendo franchise and all, and their Wiimote has added a new twist to video games, but that kind of quote drops the industry back a decade.

Just compare the top two images. Which one would you prefer?
