“Ah, at the Tokyo Game Show?”

“Actually it’s very unlikely that the Revolution controller will make an appearance at TGS. The announcement is very close however, it will be made sometime in September.”

.....?

He means it wont be at the actual show, because Nintendo don't have a booth and stuff, nothing to see here.

GCA supposedly are having "up to the minute" coverage live from the speech, but their site is getting absolutely hammered, I can't even load it. http://gc.advancedmn.com/article.php?artid=5718

When the f*ck else would they announce it? At some private event that they haven't announced yet, with only two weeks left in September? Yeah right.

By up to the minute they mean as soon as the speech gets out... just like every other site. Forget about advancedmn, those losers tricked me and many others with the tuesdayton and I refuse to believe they have anything special planned for tonight either.

He should be starting! But things never start on time.

Up to the minute. And it won't get overloaded!

8:03 by my watch

BTW, which Wada was that in the interview? The Square Enix one?

Artimus · « **Reply #136 on:** September 15, 2005, 05:06:16 PM »

Btw, IGN says:

"We've got a lot of stuff embargoed for a 7:50 posting."

Meaning they know?

Don'tHate742 · « **Reply #137 on:** September 15, 2005, 05:06:42 PM »

How many keynotes are there?

I don't expect any information till all the keynotes are done with and theres a break for the press to wander around TGS.

The one that works on Harvest Moon

Mario · « **Reply #138 on:** September 15, 2005, 05:07:07 PM »

"7:50" is right after the Iwata speech is officially scheduled to finish, looks like there's an NDA that lifts then.

Artimus · « **Reply #139 on:** September 15, 2005, 05:07:32 PM »

They have wireless internet, Don'tHate, so they'll update as it happens. But if they're embargoed til 7:50 then that means they know stuff already?

stevey · « **Reply #140 on:** September 15, 2005, 05:07:52 PM »

IWATATON has started! I can see it! Iwata walk to the stage people shaking for fear of what to come.

Except they say they'll be updating that page, that "rough format", until then. Meaning they know what he's going to say but they can't post their pre-made articles until after, only do live updates to that one article.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #142 on:** September 15, 2005, 05:09:41 PM »

They'll be updating their page with video.

They can only get news and pictures online till then.

Don'tHate742 · « **Reply #143 on:** September 15, 2005, 05:10:31 PM »

So Mario, do you really think they'll still show the controller even after that interview?

MrMojoRising · « **Reply #144 on:** September 15, 2005, 05:11:43 PM »

No controller will make me sad...

Yup that means they have articles ready to go as soon as that time passes. Matt was apparently posting on the IGN insiders board today and sounding really excited TGS, which should be taken as a good sign since he seems to have been rather skeptical of the Revo up until now.

Artimus · « **Reply #146 on:** September 15, 2005, 05:12:35 PM »

IGN thinks they're showing the controller. Matt has only been wrong once majorly lately, and if they do show it today he was only off by two weeks.

Mario · « **Reply #147 on:** September 15, 2005, 05:12:36 PM »

I assume they'll be updating these dot points then...

Yes, or at least SOMETHING that we haven't seen before.
