I had the chance to interview Nintendo's CEO Satoru Iwata before, and he's quite an interesting guy. Though he doesn't discuss it much, his roots are in game development - so when he speaks about innovation, it's coming from the mind of gamer, not just a chief executive.
Check out Gamespot's interview with Iwata, and note his thoughts on digital distribution via the Virtual Console: "When making games, though, you come up with a lot of fun ideas that could sell for ¥500 (about $4.70). Well, if there were a forum for releasing that ¥500 single idea into the market now, maybe the idea would grow into something that could be used as a full packaged game in the future. That's off in the future."
