Any chance they'll be announcing US titles for 2003? I saw an article on Gamespot regarding their 2003 Japan releases. Although I'm not sure why they'd have an official press conference for that.

I'm guessing it's to announce this year's line-up. Seems like they did something similiar this time last year.

Probably be a line-up announcement. Maybe announce online Mario Kart game? The rumored purchase of Capcom is a remote possibilitie as well.

We'll see tomorrow I guess.

Nintendo's been claiming that this is some "technological breakthrough" for whatever that's worth.

Hadn't read that yet. Perhaps they are pulling a Sony and trying to prepare people for the fact that their next console also acts as an oven. (Self cleans too.)

If that happens, I think you'll need an XBox

Does anyone know if Rare still holds the license? The company that developed the game was called Tradewest but I believe they were bought and sold about a half dozen times. This really is one game that's BEGGING for an update.

Okay this is a little off topic, but is Rare now exclusively an X-Box developer? Star Fox Adventures is a Rare title but that contract was in place before their acquisition. I read on the company website they will still be making GameBoy Advance games.

Specifically, MY Xbox ("Dopey") is buying Nintendo. He's been in meetings all day about it. Don't know where he's going to get the cash. The paper route he has can't pay that much.

Gad, hope its not another how little can we give consumers and hype the annoucement like no tomorrow. My guess knowing Nintendo never nothing more some small update to something we already have.
Well here to hoping it has nothing to do with another new GBA model.

Did anyone else not understand this sentence:

"My guess knowing Nintendo never nothing more some small update to something we already have."

Anyways, I hope they're going to be discussing this so called 'megaton' so everyone will just shut up about it.

My interpretation:
"Based on my familiarity with Nintendo's previous business tactics, I would ascertain that this announcement is not anything that the gaming community does not already know."
