More Space World info from Japan

Famitsu has published some interesting information, and Tendo Box has made it easily available for us!

Tendo Box's latest "Galloping Gaijin" cites Famitsu Magazine, which has revealed lots of little goodies involving Space World and Nintendo overall.

Besides the 81 displayed titles, Nintendo will reveal other titles not present at the upcoming show. The article also explains the different main attractions at the show, such as the Smash Bros. and Mario Kart Advance tourneys, as well as dancing men in hamster costumes! Perhaps most exciting of these special "events" will be a preview of a new Kirby TV series in Japan! Somehow, Kirby has been able to land a show where even Mario could not. (The multiple Mario Bros. Shows were American-based) A Kirby television show suggests that the cream puff may have another game coming up--something that all gamers would like.

Finally, Famitsu's article has a highly cryptic quotation about a certain company and game. Actually, it would be quite straightforward if the two key words weren't censored so that Koichi Hamamura (of Famitsu) wouldn't lose his job:

The GameCube has a good reputation (in the development community), but (deleted) have decided not to make (deleted). This hasn't been officially announced yet. It seems there was an argument. Don't tell this to anyone (laughs).

This quote is probably about a third party, as having a good reputation would make no difference to anyone else. The reference to an argument suggests a developer on shifty ground with Nintendo....

These are amusing tidbits indeed, but expect more surprises come Space World!
