Satoru Iwata At GDC 2006

Last year at the 2005 Game Developers Conference, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced his company's next-generation console, the Revolution, would have wireless functionality. Last month, he told a Japanese newspaper that his company is planning to launch the Revolution in November 2006.

Next Month we can expect Iwata to divulge further information about the Revolution. His lecture titled "Disrupting Development," Iwata will "inspire developers to take risks and mine the depths of their imaginations to create innovative games regardless of the size of teams or budgets," according to the organisers of GDC.

"We are extremely honored to feature an experienced platform leader such as Satoru Iwata as a keynote speaker," said GDC director Jamil Moledina in a statement. "As Nintendo reinvents the scope of what games can be, it is ever more crucial to share their creative and market-growing philosophies with the other leaders of the game creation industry."
