While Nintendo is hesitant to admit anything as the "content and announcements are still being finalized," they are reportedly set to announce "a number of new products."

According to the Nihon Securities Journal, Nintendo is scheduled to hold a press conference on October 2 in Japan. They are scheduled to announce "a number of new products" at the fall event.

Nintendo held a similarly timed press conference last year . In 2007, Nintendo talked about market and sales data, showed off the then-upcoming WiiWare service, and announced that Capcom was bringing Monster Hunter 3 to the Wii exclusively.

When reached for comment by Edge Online Nintendo confirmed that they are indeed having a press conference on the specified date. However, they declined to provide anything else, stating that they are "not announcing anything (about the press conference) at this time."

This press conference comes a week before the annual Tokyo Game Show which Nintendo is not attending.

So they will announce "yes, we still don't have hardcore games for the rest of the year."

After E3, I'm not getting my hopes up.

So they haven't formally finalized any potential game announcements that could possibly be confirmed as formally in development.

I will formally withhold my excitement until more substantial announcements can be finally be announced at a formal pre-press conference conference.

E3 was a flop and a lie coupled with "It's not the place for that."  So, I just feel like they owe us.  Yet, I find it really hard to get at all excited about it.

StogiSeptember 17, 2008

I'm callin it right now. NEW STARFOX.


...it's about time.

EnnerSeptember 17, 2008

Well, here's to good tidings.

Eh... I hope any new product will introduce new characters rather than more franchise installments. Though, I wouldn't exactly mind a promising new Star Fox or another F-Zero game. Hey, maybe Kid Icarus Wii will become a reality!

Guitar SmasherSeptember 17, 2008

"Hey fans, we were so busy counting our profits that we completely forgot about the Christmas season.  Don't worry, though, we'll announce some exciting new games at next year's E3!"

Because Showing Off a game is the most important thing.

UltimatePartyBearSeptember 18, 2008

F-Zero WX with 30-player online racing, real Star Fox with four player LAN and split-screen co-op, and Luigi's Mansions, or I'll hold my breath until I get what I want!  Oh, and a new IP that's already somehow completely familiar!

D_AverageSeptember 18, 2008

Oh man, I can't wait, there's no way we're not going to see the secret games like Super Punch Out Wii and Excite Bike vs. Excite Truck!!!

StogiSeptember 18, 2008

Oh hells yes. Excite Truck is so underrated. I deserves a sequel.

Yeah....Your right. I've had more fun with Excite Truck. But Excite Truck wasn't made as well, it just suited my needs better.

If you didn't remember i was really pissed off after E3. As of now I don't have any plans to buy any new Wii game for the rest of the year. I might eventually get Okami but nothing else.

NOTHING else. Animal Crossing doesn't seem like a big enough leap, Disaster might be good rental, the hell with WiiMusic, never got into none micro Wario games. i might rent Star Was Force Unleashed.

but nothing i'm going to buy that isn't on WiiShop channel. I don't have money to buy a 360 and only other system is a DS which I am looking forward to its games but still Wii is what I waited over night in front of Best Buy for.

Whaaa?  You're not going to pick up this great gem?  --> http://www.ebgames.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?sku=230309

Wario Land isn't a microgame fest - it's a platformer.

KDR_11kSeptember 19, 2008

Going through the Gamespy list and assuming those games come out here in time I'll be looking at Wario, de Blob, ToS, Deadly Creatures and maybe Cv: Judgement, provided the price is right (I'm not interested in any of them enough to pay full price).

You mean that's your requirements list and if anything on it does not get shown you'll whine on the forums for weeks about how horrible Nintendo is for not throwing money at every stupid fringe idea you ever had.

yeah so .

I forgot to mention a release date of Final Frame IV

I am willing to forgive every bad thing Nintendo has ever done if they just give me a storage solution. They don't even have to have it available right away, just tell me what it is and give me a release date that I can obsess over.
