Square's president comments on Project Dolphin

[07.14.99] » Vague statements hint at Square's interest in Nintendo's next console.

   At a press conference earlier today in Japan, Square promoted several of its upcoming titles -- Vagrant Story, Dewprism, and others. Additionally, Square's president, Tomoyuki Takechi, commented briefly on Nintendo's upcoming Project Dolphin console.

   "The gaming industry is becoming more and more excited, judging from the recent announcement of the next generation Dolphin machine from Nintendo at E3," Takechi told reporters.

   Although Square would not make any additional comments regarding the Dolphin, the combination of this recent revelation and a similar statement at a Square shareholder meeting a few weeks indicate that Square seems to be considering developing for the Dolphin.
