The things Nintendo has unveiled are:


-How the "Death Spiral" works. Financial Pressure + Less time + Poorer Sales + Poorer Quality = Death Spiral

-How the "Upward Spiral" works. Ideas are Everywhere + Personal Communication + Prototype Stage + Small teams + Multiple Projects + Trial & Error + mass production = Upward Spiral. Also called "Miyamoto's Way"

-How random employee kidnappping works. Read the article for more info.

-The creators of Warioware: Touched & Warioware: Twisted teamed up to work on a Rhythm game.

-Wii system version 4.0. You arn't limited to 1GB & 2GB SD cards anymore. The biggest SD cards you can use are the 32 GB cards.
