Nintendo VP Reggie Fils-Aime brought up various topics in the latest issue of EGM:

Fils-Aime said that it's important to satisfy GameCube owners by releasing Zelda on that system, as opposed to the Revolution. He did hint, though, that "...it will almost be a launch title for Revolution...one of the things I would love to see is something that makes Zelda, when it's played on Revolution, do something magical."

The Play-Yan media player has resurfaced again, with Reggie mentioning that Nintendo is still tossing up its potential for the Western audience. (The Play-Yan is a GBA catridge compatible with both Nintendo handhelds, which stores movies and music from your PC). Reggie suggested a bundle with an SD card provider could be beneficial if the device got the go ahead here.

DS-wise, a web browser would be a good idea, he comments. He said that he and others at Nintendo were under the impression that a third party would be developing a browser for the handheld. Since the system is already Wi-Fi enabled, if nothing appears in the next few months, Nintendo may have to take charge.
