Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto has spoken about a controversial issue in gaming, the hefty prices we are forced to pay especially in regards to the current global financial crisis. Speaking in an interview filmed in the UK (see video below) Miyamoto reassures us about his his beliefs when it comes to violent games compared to those the whole family can enjoy and manages to slip in a plug for Wii Music. When the man known as Mr.Nintendo was question if "Wii Music is too expensive" considering the global financial crisis Miyamoto said "We need to eat in order to live, that's our first priority. But entertainment and the enrichment of our souls must come in second place." Australian's especially feel the strain of game pricing paying an RRP of up to $119.95 for software new releases.

Going back to his views on family friendly titles he continues "I don't want to curb freedom of expression but I am concerned that many developers' focus is on excessive violence in order to stimulate people's minds. I believe that there are more ways of grabbing players attention than violence alone."
