Nintendo is not present as usual.  What do you think will be shown @ the show? any surprises?

It will definately be an XBOX360 event.  I recon they will spill the beans on their launch list and hopefully have a few demos running on the floor.

what do you mean "as usual"? it sounds like Nintendo on rare ocassions showed something, but I thought Nintendo never ever showed anything in TGS, am I wrong?  

[Mario]

"Nintendo is not present as usual" and "Nintendo never ever showed anything at TGS" are BOTH right! So uh, you're both right.

Hmmm, this seems to overlap with the Jean Lafitte festival. . .

MS seems to be really trying to create a presence in Japan.

I know there going to be there, I'm just saying that there not spilling any bean at TGS.

"MS seems to be really trying to create a presence in Japan. "

What presence? At last year TGS the had halo 2 there and there was NO line and it was open to anyone to come not just the press like E3.

I think it would be awesome if Nintendo showed off the Revolution somewhere but at TGS companies will finally let out their secret Revolution games.  That would be badass.

And? They were there, just because they didn't exclude the public from their stuff doesn't mean they weren't at TGS.

Exactly there is little to no presence, what TVman is trying to say is they are trying to make one, trying to make people in Japan take notice.

It like they're saying, "Hey. look at me! Yoohoo! Hey, now I'm over here! Hey pay attention to me!"

Since Nintendo isn't at this game show.  I hope this means Nintendo is seriously thinking about having a new Space World.

I would love to have a Space World where Nintendo just has a private (with one public day) party for all things Nintendo.

Here is what I would like to see at the show:

DS Online tournments with new DS games.
Revolution fully shown
3rd party support for Revolution
Trailer for New Nintendo animation movie/movies if the studio has been created.

Personally I hope there are some companies that we don't know have Rev dev kits and reveal their gamese.
