Loco Roco's Tsutomu Kouno wants a world united (in games)
You may have missed this one. At the time of writing, less than 20 people have seen this seen this excellent video interview with Loco Roco's Tsutomu Kouno. It's a fairly lengthy feature, clocking in at over 9 minutes. However, it provides some excellent insight into game design. One of the key points Kouno focused on was the international gaming community, and the reluctance of Japanese gamers to try Western games, and vice versa. (Of course, the recent success of Grand Theft Auto in Japan suggests a changing attitude.)
Be warned, though -- the interview can be a little too telling. I mean, did we really need to know his blood type? (Spoiler alert: it's A.)

I can't believe you spoiled that crucial piece of information. You owe us that read that an apology.

I really wish there was a greater cross-platform online multiplayer movement... I discussed the idea with my friends about two years before it was first introduced, and even now, several years later, it's still only happening between XBox and PC.

Possibly the funniest use of "Spoiler Alert" I've ever seen.
