I didn't read all myself, but here's the title:

Nintendo's president on unannounced games, Wii storage solutions, Mii licensing, third-party support, system price drops and more.

Here's the link http://wii.ign.com/articles/870/870953p1.html

Nintendo should be allowing anybody that wants to implement Mii support in their games to do so, and Mii's are hardly comparable to a character like Mario.

Hmm... the little bit about extra storage space is encouraging. Hopefully we'll hear more come E3.

for the most part its very vague but at least it would appear as they are doing SOMETHING to address issues that people keep whining about on the forums

the little bit about storage has to be a lie, he says a small percentage feel that flash memory is not enough, everyone i know says its not enough, i havent met one person who thinks there is enough memory, i dont know where they got that statistic but if its true and their wii ware gets popular people will se very quick that there is not enouigh room

small percentage of people i cant belive he said that its all over message boards its everywhere

I personally haven't had a problem with it yet BUT I am not a massive VC user. I have several games from it most of which are for N64 but I'm no where near my limit

Interesting stuff... It's good they're keeping Mii's in the same status as Mario

"Statistically speaking, it is true that there are a small number of customers who feel that the flash memory is too small, while many others find that they have plenty of memory," he said. "However, because this small number of people are none other than the most avid players, we know we have to review the best possible solution to eliminate their inconvenience." Iwata

Well, that sure sounds like Nintendo recognizes the problem. Now Nintendo needs to give us a HDD.

It's not just a matter of VC, more memory means downloadable content and more wiiware. Imagine new tracks for GH3 and Rock Band, both companies commented on it. A good number of third party companies will embraced more memory.

of course people dont realize its not enough memory when there isnt much to use it on except virtual console, but i would really like to see downlooadable content for games specifically rock band, and right now the wii does not not have enough room for that, but im glad they are maybe reviewing optinos for it, its just seems like a no brainer though - external hardrive would be the solution

I hate when gaming sites dont mention or stress the issue when they interview Nintendo about the very annoying FC system. Iwata knows this since he goes on the interweb and reads but c'mon. Yes I am going to get some heat but oh well, this is a forum , right?

Friend Codes.

Personally, my only gripe that i want ninty to fix is the memory problem. Dude, Wiiware is coming...and its gonna hit hard. we need the space for that, plus i think all of us want more songs for GH3 and Rock Band

I'm glad they at least showed they are aware of the storage issue. Which is basically what an interview should be for.
And i like their way of thinking. Presuming a console is going to cut price over a period of time is ridiculous. It should be offering more and more. And if You do it right, people should not necesarily want to pay less and less.
I also like how they want to keep surprising us, which is basically what went wrong with LOZ:TP. I wonder sometimes if i had loved that game more so if i hadn't known about its biggest story elements beforehand. I really think i would have.
What i like most is the fact that he can directly answer the questions with their ways of doing things, which shows that they actually found something to believe in, something that works. Now lets hope they will only move forward from there.

And did he actually hint about a new console or handheld and their role to play? Maybe the new handheld rumour is true after all, or maybe this says something about the next gen nintendo console.

The big about software and third party titles sounds promising.

But thats the thing, SOUNDS promising.
