We all know how Nintendo doesn't really like to participate in other people's events other than E3, so could this summit be their Pre GDC/Pre E3 lineup showcase?

Quote from: BlackNMild2k1 on February 09, 2010, 10:43:03 PM

Nintendo of America is having a Media Summit on Feb. 24th in SF
Nintendo of Europe is having a Media Summit on Feb. 25th

NoA & NoE are practically having a Media summit at the same day.

Official Nintendo Magazine is teasing something BIG coming in the next issue
and I believe NP and another Nintendo magazine are also hyping something coming up real soon.

What does Nintendo have up their sleeves? Are their NDA's involved?
Is NWR gonna give me their press pass so I can represent them at the event in SF?
I don't have an answer to any of the questions that I just posed.... but I can say for all of you wondering where to get tickets to board the HYPE Train, the line starts here.

ALL ABOARD!!!!!

I'm expecting announcements of new games and release dates for Apr. - EWii3 2010

03/14/10 Pokémon™ SoulSilver Version DS

Got plans next Thursday? Washing your hair? Alphabeticising your record collection maybe? Or perhaps you had 'chisel the limescale off toilet bowl' pencilled in your diary? Well, we'd love to come and help out but unfortunately we've got plans. Big plans.

Yup, we're off to a secret location somewhere in London to check out a whole bunch of awesome, 100% super-secret Nintendo stuff. It promises to be exciting and suffice to say we're pretty psyched.

We know what a few of the things on show are going to be (no, I'm not telling), but there are still bits and bobs under wraps. So, two things: Firstly, cross 'chisel limescale off toilet bowl' out of your diary and replace it with 'keep eyes glued to ONM website'.

It's going to be exciting and no doubt Nintendo have some interesting things to show off, but remember that the really big stuff usually gets saved for E3. So don't come coming crying to us when there's no sign of Mother 4, okay! Because we all know how messy things can get when expectations get raised too high, don't we?

So this can be the Official thread for talking about anything and everything related to the Media Summit.
Speculation? Ok
Rumors? Ok
News Stories? Ok

I guess this year you get to do the Media Summit. I might be able to help a little but I might not.
Anyway I don't really get hyped up before the event. Maybe during or after.
Hope you can keep up with the Media Summit.
Do you know any places that will be covering this?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #2 on:** February 18, 2010, 07:36:53 PM »

Nope. Did you do this thread last year?
You can update your post, but I just wanted to post that ONM is continuing to hype the Media Summit as something pretty big.without it getting lost in the Rumor(& Speculation) thread.

Feel free to take control if you get the news first.

Announcement of Captain Rainbow coming to North America.

Yeah it's not gonna happen, but I can still hope, right?

I just looked through my topics and I did the Media Summit in 2008, GDC 2009, E3 2009 the sony,microsoft and 3rd partys conferences.

So no I didn't do last years media summit. So you can do it this year.You will probably be quicker.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #5 on:** February 18, 2010, 08:03:29 PM »

Does one of the staff know when this is happening?

Exact time. Are the NOA and NOE happening at the same time?
This info would be helpful.

Stogi · « **Reply #6 on:** February 18, 2010, 08:32:08 PM »

I'm guessing 9 a.m. pacific time

Unless NoA commissioned Skip to do massive re-writes of the game's script, then yes, there is hope. Maybe.

I smell a hardware announcement. That or The Legend of Zelda: Girl Link's Adventure announcement

You forgot the Space Pirate part of that particular game's name.

If this event is for showing games and not announcing them, then I would like to see some more footage of Metroid Other M, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Sin and Punushment 2, The Last Story, and XenoBlade.

Well, actually, I'm not sure if I want to know more about Metroid and Mario Galaxy 2. These games usually have great level designs which would be better left experienced when playing rather than watching them. Sin and Punishment 2 I want to see some footage of, to determine if it is something I might like. The only reason I have any interest in it is because it is a sequel to a Nintendo 64 game (that I have not played and do not own), which probably isn't a good reason. I like certain types of RPGs so I'd be interested in receiving more information on those two new ones, moreso about the gameplay than the story. Some RPGs can be really boring depending on the fighting system.

I don't know if this would be a time to announce release dates, but that would also be nice.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #12 on:** February 19, 2010, 02:17:31 AM »

I just checked my calender and I have to be somewhere on the 24th at 11am. So I might not be able to update everybody.

Please announce Wave Race Wii, pleaaaase!!

Secret London location = Any one of the central london hotels with a large enough conference hall.

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #15 on:** February 19, 2010, 02:13:16 PM »

Pilot Wings, Donkey Kong, and Icarus!

The game has been out in Japan since October, so there is plenty of gameplay footage already available (since it's unlikely Nintendo do any changes other than just translating).

My expectations are are very low. At least if something awesome happens, it'll be that much more awesome.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 19, 2010, 04:49:26 PM »

NO dammit. I bought you 2 HYPE TRAIN tickets so you could bring a friend and you will get aboard the train. Next stop is disappointment and that is the way we like it.

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #19 on:** February 19, 2010, 05:33:35 PM »

Since this event isn't taking place in Japan and E3 is only a few months away, I wouldn't expect Zelda, Kirby, Pikmin 3 or anything that might be popular in Japan to be shown off here. I get the feeling this event will be to announce things that will only have any significant in North America and Europe.

Because of this, I do expect Metroid: Other M to be shown off quite heavily with a new trailer and playable demo. Since the game is scheduled for a Summer release in Japan, it'll probably be out in North America even earlier since every Metroid since the first Prime have been released in North America first. And because Metroid is way more popular in America and Europe, it makes sense to give it a huge conference since 95% of it's sales will come from both of these territories.

And if the rumor about Sonic being in Mario Galaxy 2 is true, then I expect Nintendo to officially announce it here as well. Since Sonic is only popular in North America and Europe, it'd also make sense to hold a big conference in both territories to announce something like this as well. This would also explain why there's no conference in Japan since like the Metroid series, the Japanese don't care about Sonic either and so holding a big conference to announce him wouldn't make sense over there.

Plus I could also see Retro's new game being unveiled here. Considering Retro's history and the people who work there, I'm going to guess Retro's new game is probably an FPS of some kind. If that is indeed the case, it'll be a game that has no appeal in Japan either, making it rather ideal to be shown in a North America/Europe event as well. And since Prime 3 came out in August 07, I'd quite possible Retro's new game could be ready to release in the coming months.

Stogi · « **Reply #20 on:** February 19, 2010, 05:52:20 PM »

Those are keen assumptions, Luigi Dude. I never thought to use the fact that Japan isn't holding a similar conference as evidence.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 19, 2010, 05:53:56 PM »

Your analysis seems logical to me, but let me ad in the rumored Factor 5 project, whatever that may be *coughpilotwingscough*.

Also what has SiliconKnights been doing since Too Human? You think maybe they are working on something coming to the Wii since their last HD project didn't do too hot?

Stogi · « **Reply #22 on:** February 19, 2010, 05:57:31 PM »

There's no way in hell a Silicon Knights game will be shown. That said, I really need a sequel to ED; one my top 5 games last gen.

The so-called "rumours" about Sonic in Super Mario Galaxy 2 are absolutely hilarious. It's sad how Sonic fans have lost so much hope that they are now willing to cling to the impossibility of Sonic appearing in a mainline Mario game...

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 19, 2010, 07:18:02 PM »

I think we realize that Sega is very eager to do whatever it can to revive the name of Sonic in the mind of gamers and Nintendo is wanting to bring the Sega faithful on over to the Wii and push 3D Mario into the sales spotlight next to NSMBW.

That is why we entertain this rumor as plausible if not likely. The HYPE TRAIN will continue to grow even with your skepticism. It can't be derailed.
