According to FGN Online, Nintendo will not participate in this year's ECTS and have decided to do something "very big" at its own show. The Nintendo Show is going to be held on September 1st and 2nd at an unspecified location in Central London. More exact details are unknown at this time. The story quotes David Gosen (NOE managing director of sales and marketing) who says of the new event that, "We'll be creating a spectacular unique occasion for the industry and all those that love great gameplay. 2001 is a huge year for Nintendo – we have a lot to shout about, and we feel that The Nintendo Show will be the perfect vehicle to do exactly that."
