Nintendo Conference on October 2nd.

[Tupin]

Turns out Nintendo is holding a conference this year after all.  :)

I'm not expecting much, just more Wii series stuff and spending a few minutes on something that fans have always wanted to get them from complaining for a month or two.

Of course, here's some things that could be, courtesy of Destructoid.

I seriously wonder if Nintendo would buy a fan translation, change the name, and then put it on WiiWare. Seems like something they could do. It would cost them nothing to make, nothing to distribute, just a payment to the people behind the translation.

The Brawl idea seems far-fetched, and doesn't seem like it would happen. I want Captain Rainbow to be localized, it looks awesome, and Nintendo has made T-rated games before.

What are you expecting?

I doubt Mother 3Earthbound 2 will be able to be bought from WiiWare, Captain Rainbow looks interesting, I was BEGGING for a SSBB 2 Super Turbo Hyper Fighting Edition, and Nintendo already has made T-rated games. So...yeah.

I'm surprised that they're holding a Press Conference, actually.

What do I expect?
"UH LOLWUT, look it's MORE Wii Sports! Ain't Wii Music AWESOME-O!?!?!? Oh, yea, we're thinking about Zelda...not coming out til 2012 tho...NOW BACK TO OUR NEWELY ANNOUNCED WII OLD MAID!"
Basically that in a nutshell.....

A SSBB upgrade would be cool, but it won't happen. The only things on that list that could possibly happen is Captain Rainbow being localized and a harddrive being announced.

Yeah, it's a little late for something that's supposed to show off what you have for the holidays. Maybe that's not a good sign.... D:

you mean because the conference is in Japan?

A Nintendo conference held on October 2nd in Japan was previously rumored, but now it has been confirmed.

I mean Nintendo buying Starmen.net's translation and putting it on WiiWare. Which won't happen.

Who cares about Mother 3 coming to the US anymore. NoA had their chance, the translation is probably going to be done in about a month :)
My hope is that they announce their holodrive... so Sakurai can make DLC for Brawl :D

What will actually happen is Punch Out W!!, Pikmin 3, Kid Icarus, or something unexpected Wii Music and Animal Crossing Wii.

Yeah, but they usually announce something at these conferences...

Last year it was Fire Emblem DS and Kirby Superstar DS.

A harddrive has a decent chance of appearing.

Hooray for ports! Half the work with twice the profits! (Nothing wrong with those games but geez Nintendo make more origional gaems for the handhelds instead of just doing a copy/paste sort of deal...)
Nintendo doesn't care about harddrives remember, NoA couldn't give a rats ass and apparently they're for geeks and otakus.
Besides, if Nintendo were going to do one, they would've done it already. X_X
Something tells me that one part of the article will come true and that Nintendo will tell someone else to do it for them...

Probably Captain Rainbow being localized. Skip can translate it themselves.

Oh, and this conference is for NCL, NOA is holding their own conference on the same day.

We can announce today that Nintendo will reveal a new game for the Wii during this event" boldly states a Gamekyo report, going on to offer that the new game "is actually an old franchise that everyone is waiting for."

Further details are scarce, though the Kid Icarus remake that's allegedly in the works at Factor 5 must be one of the leading contenders. We'll be liveblogging the event, so check back for the news as it happens this Thursday.

If it's Star Fox, I might get it. Kirby, I dunno. I've never played a Kirby game. :x
I'd like another Zelda game, as long as it doesn't suck as hard as TP.
