He won't accept this boundary, apparently, which is good. Nintendo's going to "transcend borders", "stray from the beaten track", and totally reinvent things.

He's talking about a newspaper article that explained "digital natives and digital immigrants" - "this division applies particularly in the field of videogames."

"A few surprises and interesting insights into the world of tomorrow." Okay, right. Bring it on.

We're in for some "very prominent guests, too" - HASSELHOFF! Come on! No? Bah.

We're enjoying logistical fun, by the way. The conference is earlier than we thought, and our hotel appears to be some way from the show. In Denmark, possibly.
