About two weeks ago, MCV caught up with Nintendo’s David Yarnton and Dawn Paine to talk about a few things in relation to Nintendo’s success with the Wii in the UK, Europe, and worldwide. Nothing groundbreaking, but it’s always nice to hear from Nintendo of Europe every now and then. Here’s a bit of what they had to say:

Nintendo had a great summer last year – are you looking to push that even further this year?

Because we’re appealing to a much broader market now, we’re appealing to a much wider market outside the normal gamers market as well, it’s become the less seasonal. So in times where people often say ‘you can’t sell games’ that’s not the case; the audience we are looking at now will buy at any stage and at any time.

Can you give us an idea of what you have planned for Wii’s online service?

We’re very keen on what we consider to be social interaction and looking to involve people. Our offering is very much an open situation with a number of people playing, we will look to expand upon that. We want to involve everyone, so we want to keep it very simple. The service will vary according to the style of the game. We’ve got lots of options and we’re looking all the time to expand that, but not so that it is insular – it has to include everyone.
