Nothing much new, but I'm sick so here's a snippet.

Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto, the man behind Donkey Kong, says 3D is the future of gaming

Nintendo has grown to lead the video games industry - predicted to be worth $68bn in annual sales by 2012 - by creating colourful worlds, full of visual stimulation.

But the company's offices in Kyoto are quite the opposite.

Even by the standards of Japanese corporations it is, to say the least, understated.

The lobby is large and anonymous, with white tiled floors and white walls, the monotony is broken only by a single receptionist sitting behind a small desk, and a row of framed ceramic plates painted with traditional scenes - carp fish and bamboo groves.

But it is in these austere surroundings that Shigeru Miyamoto has come up with his latest innovation that he thinks will help Nintendo maintain its dominance of the games console business.
