'Yet more proof that Nintendo has something very big planned.

It's been rumoured for a few weeks that Nintendo have a big announcement coming towards the end of this year. Now Japanese magazine V-Jump have also hinted at a huge announcement to be made before the end of the year.

It's been said that this announcement will spark a huge boom in the sales of the GameCube worldwide. There has been much speculation regarding what the announcement will be, but Nintendo are never predictable, so who can guess what it will be?'

From IGN/Cube-Europe.

Eh? What you think?

Maybe Nintendo have secretly brought someone in to replace Rare??

We were all expecting to hear something from Microsoft the other day, and that's when we heard the deal was done.


But I have a feeling it could be to do with the future of the Mario series.
Maybe SunShine will be the last adventure, while we'll still be able to see spin-offs like Mario RPG, Paper Mario and 128 Marios.

Well as far as I'm aware, while Shigsy was making a routine speech he said "...and we have plans for the future, of course.." while constantly winking and nudging the guy next to him.

I bet it'll turn out to be nothing exciting at all. Not worth getting your hopes up over really.

Maybe they'll say "Microsoft din't really get Rare, it wus just a joke.." or "We bought the rights to create more Starfox games". I can't see these two increasing Gamecube sales tremendously though.

Pokemon sounds likely - combined with online capabilities.

GC Pokemon Stadium Online or something.

Beyond that, all I can imagine is a GC price cut, or the acquisition of some major developer like Blizzard or Microprose or something equally exciting.

No doubt it will be the announcement of a pokemon title coming to the gamecube.

How exciting that will be.....
