"How Nintendo plan to make up for last years E3..."

What did Nintendo do with that money? They increased support from Namco and Capcom and they widened their own development studios.

It is a simple payment, Nintendo needed some money to improve their relationship in Japan... Microsoft gave them some by "buying" Rare. Microsoft do not have a hope in hells chance of breaking the Japanese Market... why do you think Nintendo are so desperate to crack it completley? Nintendo need Microsoft's Western pull factor and Microsoft need Nintendo's Eastern Popularity. Together they can take over the world.

Heh, a 100% correct forecasting record based on one prediction which was half right.. you never originally talked of a multiformat game by EA, did you?

I can remember you going on about Microtendo over a year ago now, and have refused to accept it, so I have a 100% correct forecast record as well. Nintendo will *never* help Microsoft, it would harm their own sales.

Except EA are doing Goldne Eye 2 - hence it's going to sell on the name, quite likely be multiformat, and completable on the first go or at the very least the second... and not particularly brilliant.

Nintendo won't join with MS - they're totally different kinds of companies and it would make little sense - why, for instance, buy RARE for millions if you are going to join with their associate in a couple of years anyway?

You cannot doubt me. I have a 100% correct forecasting record.

YOU ALL LAUGHED AT ME WHEN I ANNOUNCED GOLDENEYE 2.

Honestly... you fools. The Xbox will have the G5 processor technology through IBM, and Nintendo will get involved and add a few switches and dials.

:D

Strange then that the N5 and Xenon are completely separate rival projects.

They'll announce partnership with Microsoft in some way.

If they don't. It'll happen soon enough.

Mario Tennis will be incredible. Oh yes oh yes.

I heard that as a rumour a few days ago, didn't know for sure of course though. I should think the DS titles Ninty's working on will be shown, where better to showcase them and steal the PSP's thunder?

Come on Sega, show off Skies 2.. pulllease.

Yay! Animal Crosssing 2!

I hope that Nintendo will unveil their DS games, with screenshots.
I also hope that Nintendo has good news in terms of third-party support.
And if the next Zelda game is announced I wont get sleep at night.
