Nintendo UK boss talks success and the new year

General Manager for the UK, David Yarnton, recently sat down to discuss Nintendo and the UK. The interview had a mixture of light and fluffy, with some actual tough questions sprinkled throughout. The main question as to when UK gamers will receive the same respect and consideration as the rest of the gaming world did not arise, though.

Yarnton explains that Nintendo doesn't have another handheld in the works, though discussion hasn't been dying down. He also goes on to state that the focus on the DS in 2008 will be to improve on the amount of titles they have in their Touch Generations! lineup of games.

What would you in the UK like to see Nintendo focus on in the upcoming year? You know, aside from the whole "giving us games in a timely fashion" thing ...

I laughed at:
One of your personal achievements this year has been to move into your new home. Does it not seem ironic that the one problem you have had has been with flooding? I would have thought you knew a good plumber...?

Unfortunately my usual plumber was too busy flying through space, saving a princess. I was lucky though because I hadn’t put my wine in the cellar before we were flooded. Now it’s in full view all of the time – and I have to be strong not to drink it.

Earlier this year, heavy rain flooded rural parts of England... Just so you know.

What would I like to see? Smash Bros. out in a reasonable time frame. And how about we get a bit of respect from Nintendo this year? I know it's rarity for Nintendo to actually care about us, but how about they cut us some slack now, huh?
