Family game night? Oh brother.  Simcity Creator? Okay!

[BeautifulShy]

I am looking forward to more info on COD:WAW,Madworld,Sonic Unleashed,Samba De Amigo,Sim Animals and Dragon Warrior. What are you looking forward to?

[Bill Aurion]

I'm looking forward to info on MadWorld, Kuju's game (though it's rumored to be a new House of the Dead title), and I'm hoping that Sony's surprise is Team Ico's next game, but that's really treading into the realm of pipe dreams there...

[ShyGuy]

Cursed Mountain is going to be there?

[BeautifulShy]

Yep it is going to be there Shyguy.Since Deep Silver isn't really known they decided to reveal the info at a major event. The double edged sword of this is they get to reveal lots of info but they may be overshadowed.

[GoldenPhoenix]

I am excited to see more about Cursed Mountain on Wii along with a ton of other things that I'm too lazy to list.

[BeautifulShy]

I was just over at wii fanboy and Sega said they were planning on showing off one more title other than the ones they announced.

[Schadenfreude]

Heavy Rain is suppose to be at Leipzig; I can't wait to see if it lives up to the hype.

[Mario]

Don't forget Hudson

[BeautifulShy]

Mario I went searching for info on Hudson's line up but couldn't find anything.Hey Bill I think your Starting date might be wrong. I heard it starts on the 20th and runs to the 24th.

[KDR_11k]

I wonder if it's worth going...

Then again that's the weekend Bangai-O gets released on...

[BeautifulShy]

If I had a choice of going to a video game event or grabing a game I would pick the event everytime.

[Gamejunkie]

I'm fortunate enough to be going this year. I've never been to Leipzig before although I've been to E3 many times. I'm really looking forward to it and hopefully there will be a lot of cool stuff to check out. I can't wait for next week. 

[KDR_11k]

It's more a question of going or not, it wasn't terribly amazing the last time I was there and the train fare and entry fee do add up.

Check out the Kororinpa 2 thread http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=25587.0

In the link there is a translated interview, the good bit:

PN.it: In the final beat us curious to know your future plans for Wii and DS. Cosa bolle in pentola? What bubbles in the pot?

HT: Per il momento posso anticiparvi un tris di nuovi titoli composto da Hard Working People per Wii, Kororinpa 2 sempre per Wii e Bomberman 2 per DS (tutti nomi provvisori, ndr). HT: For the moment I can anticiparvi a trio of new titles composed of Hard Working People for Wii, Kororinpa always 2 for Wii and Bomberman 2 for DS (all names provisional editor's note). Saranno presentati il mese prossimo nel corso dell'edizione 2008 della Games Convention di Lipsia. Will be presented next month during the dell'edizione 2008 Games Convention in Leipzig. Hard Working People è un IP creato da zero che sta impegnando tantissimo i nostri team e che si preannuncia molto divertente. Hard Working People is an IP created from scratch which is committing a lot our team and that promises to be very fun. Sono certa che verrà apprezzato dai giocatori europei. I am sure that will be appreciated by European players.

Kororinpa 2 is the Second Coming.

[BeautifulShy]

Ok thank you Mario.

[Gamejunkie]

It's more a question of going or not, it wasn't terribly amazing the last time I was there and the train fare and entry fee do add up.

Well I'm staying just 10 minutes walk from the convention center so I don't need to worry about train fare to and from the convention center each day. I also live in London so my overall travel costs are not as high as for someone traveling from the US. The exchange rare is also better for me too as the pound is a lot stronger then the dollar right now.

[KDR_11k]

Dude, I live in the same damn country, it's like 30 Euros or so.

Is that such a stretch though? Shadows was released late 05ish, I think. They're due!

[Bill Aurion]

Yeah, but they are hardly technical geniuses, and they working on the PS3... =)

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

It'll be so advanced, there's no GUI and no user input.
