The text below is taken from a Nintendo Wii Fanboy interview with Johnny Lee. How could Nintendo not take notice of Johnny Lee and offer him a job? Or rather, how could they not offer him a job… because they have taken notice, everyone knows about him.

NWF: Well, on behalf of our staff, and all of our readers, everyone wishes you the best of luck and probably thinks that, out of everybody in the world, you shouldn’t need much of that luck. I’m surprised you even had to search for a job.

JL: Well, it’s actually been a pretty easy search, and I had a lot of opportunities I didn’t even ask for. And oddly enough, Nintendo was not among them. Nintendo never contacted me.

NWF: Never contacted you at all?

JL: Nope. It’s okay. I don’t think I’d actually want to work solely at Nintendo. I have a pretty diverse set of interests, only some of which are relevant to gaming, so working at a gaming company isn’t very interesting to me.

Better games are coming

Other things that are alarming in that same interview is when he mentions that one of the reasons why we aren’t seeing that many wii games that uses the wiimote to its fullest potential is because Nintendo, more or less don’t allow it.

if it requires too much movement on the player’s part, Nintendo asks them to pull it. There are all these internal guidelines they have to conform to that prevent them from doing anything too — I hate using the term “outside the box,” but this is a box that has been defined by Nintendo and they literally can’t step out of it.
