Cammie Dunaway, for the uninformed, is Nintendo’s exec VP of sales and marketing. You might remember her from Nintendo’s E3 conference – you know “Puppies are cute!! Wii Sports Resort!! Frisbees!” Yeah, that’s her. Anyhow, if it wasn’t obvious enough, Ms. Dunaway’s not exactly in touch with your average Game Fuel-drinking hardcore gamer, but in a pleasant little Q&A with Wired she made it even more clear that she doesn’t really know much about games, but that’s okay, because she thinks games are super and Nintendo’s super, too. (I’m being snide, but I have to admit there is something winning about her relentless positivity.)

Nevertheless – when asked what she knew about the Punch Out franchise, Dunaway replied:

I know that it was really popular 15 years ago, and that it’s been sitting there with latent demand. It’s got the … who’s the big character … Big Eddie.

She meant King Hippo. Mash the jump for more tidbits.

On the possibility of Soma Bringer coming to the US:

Okay, I’ve got to write these down. I’m not familiar with it… It’s not on my radar right now, but I will make sure that we put it on the radar.

On Mother 3 coming to the US:

It sounds like there’s an overall theme here about people being interested in these games that have not come to the United States.

Cue the circus music, please.
