His comments were made at a special showcase of software for the company’s new WiiWare downloadables channel at Nintendo of Europe’s Germany HQ.
He told the assembled journalists: I don’t like the word casual. There’s a lot of meaning and interpretation of the word. For me you’re either a gamer or a non-gamer.
