Yeah but Miyamoto SAID that Mario 128 never existed, and that they don't even have the concept for it. No one ever said that about Zelda - infact they said they were working on a sequel using the WW engine from the very beginning. It didn't realy spring up out of nowhere.
And they hold secret conferences with other games companies like Namco and whoever to fill them in on all the details so they can get down to planning games, and getting a rough idea of what they'll be dealing with in advance of everyone else. They do it all the time - every console launch has secret unpublicised meetings with developers - that's how it's always been.

No, it's the reverse.
New Zelda came out of nowhere.
Mario 128's been around for years, but doesn't actually exist.

We thought that of the new Zelda. That suddenly sprang up out of nowhere.

Well what would the point of it be?

Of course it's all just wishful thinking. If Nintendo are having a secret conference it'll stay secret, won't it, and they wouldn't invite the press.
Couple that with the fact that any "evidence" for the whole thing is based on utter rubbish, and you come to the conclusion that it's nothing more than dreams.
Oh, and Mario 128 never existed. There was never and still isn't another Mari platformer in the works. Shigsy himself said that they're not sure whether the next Mario platformer will be a follow up to sunshine or what, which sows that it doesn't even have a concept yet.

Well we've heard nothing yet. So it probably was just the elaborate ploy of some stupid fanboy...

He doesnt.
"We expect them to show us what the machine looks like, tell us how it works and also show off some videos of in game footage, maybe even a video of Mario 128. Reggie has said that we'll find out whether Mario 128 will be on Gamecube or Revolution at E3."
All written by an NGC staff member, not quoted from someone else. The only interesting bit is the decision about Mario128. But from what Myamoto said, it barely exists...

I'd laugh so much if they gave Sony and Microsoft a wooden horse.
That's it, nothing more. I'd love to see the looks on their faces as they receive it.
"WTF?...they must be up to something...is this trapped? ****, better put down gently..."
