"NINTENDO'S CONFERENCE"

We have got the results of the press conference held by Nintendo of Japan today, inside!
Earlier this week, Nintendo announced that it had sold 800,000 GameCube consoles worldwide in the latest quarter, which wasn't the best news as the goal was to sell 6 million units this year. Nintendo said, though, that it still expects to sell this many units and that the company would announce a new strategy to support this statement today at the press conference.



Nintendo president Satoru Iwata made the following announcements at the news conference on the company's business strategy:

[] A GameCube version of Made in Wario (Wario Ware) will be released in Japan this October.

[] A new version of Donkey Kong is under joint-development with Namco, and will be released this year.

[] A brand new Zelda game will be released next year.

[] The company will be launching an 'air mile' system for Nintendo Products in Japan (already known as VIP 24:7 in Europe).

[] Last but not least, the company said it will announce a new Nintendo product spring next year.

So in short, next spring (E3 anyone?), Nintendo will be announcing that new product, which we think will be their new console. And we assume that those newly announced games will also be released in Europe. Of course we already have the Nintendo VIP systems in Europe, but in all we think these announcements could help Nintendo's competitive position.

We will bring you more as it breaks!

I'm ashamed to think you thought that sick 'slogan' up yourself.

Yer.

They'll release something like that and call it "Poke-E mini". And give it some gay slogan

"poke-e loves me, poke-e loves you, you can play with poke-e all day too"

Looks like somebody *coughDringocough* beat me to it...

That's some very good news there.

To be honest, I'd be more excited about a GBA 2 than a GC 2 right now :-)

I don't see any 'market changes' yet, though.

Cube-Europe members who comment on the news stories are all retards...

'but nintendo has the answer another zelda game... er, great.

NO THE ANSWER IS DROP THE CUBE PRICE IN HALF.
AND THEN FOR US DROP THE SOFTWARE PRICE IN HALF

10 -bow down'

A price drop would improve sales, but not Ninty's profits, now, would it? Especially if they dropped it by 50%.

Software price in half? Does he know nothing about Buissness and money?
