"Not only do these titles offer a unique gaming experience, but they will cultivate a new and broader audience for both Square Enix and Nintendo around the world." Ok was Yoichi Wada, president of Square-Enix aware he was on the topic of Nintendo titles? From that quote it sounds like he was thinking PS2. For crying out loud its only 4 games. And only one for Cube!!!
