The second part of N'Gai Croal's chat with Nintendo of America prez Reggie Fils-Aime is up for your reading pleasure and, in it, the former marketing VP touches on his "read my lips" promise to ensure no Gamecube-like drought for the Wii. Turns out he wasn't talking about a more consistent stream of first party releases, but third party titles as well. With rumored releases Resident Evil 4 Wii and Beautiful Katamari, alongside confirmed stuff like Manhunt 2 and Nights, the line up is already looking stronger.

But, hey, where in the hell is Metroid Prime 3, Reg? It's going to miss his projected "early 2007" release date to ensure that the next sci-fi first-person adventure meets expectations, he says. A high profile Nintendo release pushed back? What's next, a plague of locusts?

Fils-Aime also talks about LittleBigPlanet, iNiS' new Ouendan sequel and some juicy Nintendo marketing philosophy. Hot. Michael McWhertor
