Nintendo at D.I.C.E.
Miyamoto and Iwata to lecture from D.I.C.E. podium
IGN is reporting that Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto and Satoru Iwata will speak at the 2002 D.I.C.E. (Design, Innovate, Create and Entertain) Summit, the first of what the organisers hope will become an annual event. Hosted at The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences, it will take place at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on February 28 - March 1 of 2002. Iwata, former president of HAL Laboratory and now Director and General Manager of the Corporate Planning Division at Nintendo, met with a warm reception at the recent Nintendo Show in London's Westminster. Shigeru Miyamoto has not notably spoken on game design since the 1999 Game Developer's Conference, where he received a standing ovation. Now that he is lead director on all Nintendo projects his speech will be even more interesting, and with games like Mario Sunshine and Legend of Zelda quietly evolving under his watchful eye we can expect his address to focus on how to innovate within a franchise amongst other topics. Expect full coverage from virtually every corner of the web come the D.I.C.E. Summit. Related Feature - The Nintendo Show
