I'm less about him "talking" and more about him "showing", but I like he's giving out tangible details/promises about the launch.

Tell me about the controller. What makes it noteworthy?
Fils-Aime: It allows you to essentially manipulate the game by pointing at it. The activity that happens in the game is quite responsive with the controller, and we've shown that sports games can be brought to a new level of immersion with the controller.
How so?
Fils-Aime: It allows you to manipulate not only a puck or a football, but also to manipulate the player in a way that's never been done before. So if I'm developing a football game, I can move across the field, focus against a particular receiver with pinpoint accuracy and throw the ball right to that receiver much as a real-life quarterback does.
That level of immersion really has never been done before. We know it's exciting because we have partners like EA and Ubisoft and Activision and THQ excited about developing for the Revolution.
this statement i like

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Haha, Mario Baseball and Mario Strikers are new franchises.
(It's not like they use an official MARIO SPORTS label)
Too bad Eternal Darkness didn't turn into a franchise

Reggie: Xbox 360 Cannot Compete with Revolution, Gamecube Already Won
Speaking to News.com, Nintendo VP of Marketing and alleged dope smuggler Reggie Fils Amie launched into an attack on Microsoft as well as their next gen console, apparently called the Xbox 360. "No one bought the Xbox 360 due to shortages. This is a fact, and it's sad for some poor Microsoft IT bastard's family, but frankly that's not my problem. The Revolution will sell more than one unit in the US. That's all we need to win." Reggie went further, claiming "even the Gamecube outsold the Xbox 360 during Christmas. That's a damn shame."
Reggie also answered questions concerning Nintendo's plans for their next gen system the Revolution. "We have a great system, and it's based on innovation because history has taught us that graphics do not matter to consumers. The majority of American households prefer standard TV visuals over HD; very few houses even have TVs that support HD. Clearly families don't care about next gen visuals, and neither do we." With regards to the Revolution's innovative controller, Reggie envisioned new games only capible through the controller. "If I want to play a game where I use a giant eraser to erase Bill Gate's name, I can do that on the Revolution. The PS3 is not capible of doing this, and developers are excited."
Many continue to question whether the Revolution will have good third party support. Reggie responded to these claims, saying "we already have the third parties. Many people are worried about billion dollar budgets for PS3 and 360 games, and the Revolution solves this. It's like White Castle really. Why eat at Wendy's or McDonalds when you can get the same service at White Castle for cheap? I truly believe the Revolution will be the next gen White Castle."
When asked about the DS vs PSP battle, Reggie was unapologetic. "The DS has outsold the PSP 2 to 1 across the universe. I don't think the PSP is competition either. In fact, I personally wrote Ken Kutaragi last night thanking him for making the PSP. The DS needed a bitch."
Above: Reggie Fils Amie gives Revolution specs, saying the Revolution's graphical power will be "this big."

Where's Drohne to pick this apart?
In all seriousness, that's the best interview Reggie's given. The only thing he could've/should've done is emphasize in a bit more clear language how radically different the controller is, and twisted the knife a bit further by making the claim that GameCube nearly outsold Xbox and 360 combined in December
Still looking forward to the Revolution, wonder if they'll ever get any clear-cut positive press.

I'm willing to bet Mario Fantasy Football League is a launch or near-launch title.
They would NOT go through all this trouble of "demonastrating" how the Revmote would work with sports (specifically, they've mentioned football SEVERAL times) without utilizing that time and energy for their own development.
They probably came up with some rude graphics and physics for some demos to show EA that it's possible for Madden 2007, but are secretly using all those resources toward launching their own football game.
Hell, it's a new franchise.
It's a sports title.
It uses the Revmote.
It's innovative.
and it's MARIO.
.... everything Nintendo wants to do.
