New games for Nintendo

Today at a small presentation at the swank Clift Hotel off of Union Square, Nintendo of America gave a presentation to a small group of gaming journalists. The event was a coming-out party of sorts for Cammie Dunaway, NOA's recently installed executive vice president of sales and marketing, and successor to ex-exec George Harrison.

After going over her background with Frito-Lay and Yahoo!, Dunaway buttered up the reporters by talking up their love of gaming. "It's your job to bring the joy of the game experience to everyone," she said. She then praised the "enthusiasm" of Nintendo Inc. president Satoru Iwata and gave props to "passionate" NOA president Reggie Fils-Aime.

"We want those attending to experience that passion," she said, saying, "The games we're showing hopefully will excite the core and grow the total game market."
