I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't contacted Adobe directly. Especially considering that the 360 has the XNA GameStudio Express that supports Flash. When I wrote this, my main frustration was the fact that the past two Nintendo systems have been duds. Nintendo has been too cautious as to not allow independent developers access to their system. This seems to be due to copyright and piracy concerns. In the meantime, overall support and interest in their systems suffer. If Nintendo could get on board with Adobe (or vise versa), with full controller functionality, I think the independent gaming community could hold peoples interest in the Wii while the corporate gaming companies are between anticipated releases. Have you checked out the Flash API on Wiicade? I haven't had a chance to look at it in detail, but was wondering if they were using techniques either you or Mario have tampered with. Aral,

I share your concerns. Personally, I hope that Adobe starts talking right away with Opera and/or Nintendo so that they can get Flash Player 9 support implemented. Not having it on there is a very big missed opportunity at broadening the horizons of the Flash Platform onto devices (an area in which, despite Adobe's various attempts, it is not ubiquitous in.)
