In an interview with Game Informer, Perrin Kaplan of Nintendo says that the launch of the Wii could be their best ever with the likes of P Diddy and Uma Thurman keen to get their start studded paws on the machine.
GI: That’s interesting that you said that. Do you really think it is the best launch since the N64?
Kaplan: When we’re still away from the launch and we have people calling here to make sure they can get it, you know, P. Diddy, Uma Thurman, people that just have got to get their hands on it, the momentum is just great. Today alone, Business Week, News Week, The Wallstreet Journal, Yahoo and South Park last night. There’s just so much going on, it’s awesome.
GI: So you’re excited to get it out the door? Get it rolling?
Kaplan: Totally. Yeah out the door. I mean, I think consumers will decide ultimately in the end. On the DS, we have players that were uninitiated that are starting to play now and the interest level virally from people who didn’t play in the past is getting pretty high in addition to those that are already gamers.
