Well it’s looking like my prediction that Nintendo was holding out information at E3 is credible. Here’s my statement made right after E3 if you don’t believe me:

“Most people that have been venting about Nintendo’s lack of “hardcore releases” has stemmed from Nintendo’s lack of presence at E3. To these people I say that I was disappointed myself when I saw no Punch Out, Kid Icarus or any other first party announcement besides Wii Music, and Animal Crossing. But I blame E3 for this, not Nintendo. E3 is but a shadow of what it used to be, and Nintendo knows that most hardcore gamers will be keeping an eye on the other gaming conferences. Perhaps Nintendo decided it was best to save some of their bigger news for a later time.”

While I did think Nintendo was holding out gaming information for a better conference, I never thought it would be their own. With all of the money they’ve earned in nearly two years, I’d say they have the funds to host their own show. This is a genius move by Nintendo. You don’t have to deal with competing for attention with the Xbox 360, or the PS3. All of the media that’s there is specifically there to see you. It might be a bit selfish, but all is fair in love and video games.

The Nintendo Conference will be held on October 2nd, and already people are talking about what could be announced. Brand new IPs on the horizon? Will we hear more about Day Of Crisis now that its’ release is upon us. I’m no psychic but this speculation smells of being a topic for Top 5 Friday.

What do you think we can expect to see out of Nintendo, at their conference? Wii Music, Animal Crossing, New IPs?
