Cammie Dunaway talks about the new Pikmin, Club Nintendo, WiiSpeak Channel, and more.
IGN recently held an interview with Nintendo of America Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing Cammie Dunaway in which she revealed some new details about Nintendo's future releases.
A limited edition bundle will package Animal Crossing: City Folk with the microphone peripheral, WiiSpeak, for $59.99. Purchasers of WiiSpeak will be able to download the WiiSpeak Channel for free. The channel will allow Wii owners to share picture slideshows with one another and discuss them. Ms. Dunaway commented that WiiSpeak's "sound quality is good and it's going to be great by the time we get around to launching it."
Dunaway claimed that gamers who have already registered their purchases on the My Nintendo website will be able to bring over some of the points they've accumulated to the North American Club Nintendo. She also said that the new Pikmin game that Shigeru Miyamoto talked about at E3 had nothing to do with the recently announced re-releases of Pikmin 1 & 2. Dunaway briefly discussed Retro Studios, developers of the Metroid Prime games, confirming that "they are working hard," but she wouldn’t let slip exactly what they are working on.
