Speculation over big Nintendo announcement?
IGN has reported that according to a Japanese magazine that Nintendo will make an anouncement later this year that will be HUGE. I've been reading through the forums at IGN and Nintendojo seeing what people think it might be. What do you guys think? Or do you think its all bull.

Its not going third party. They won't decide that until the end of the GameCube and thats 3-4 years away.
Its probably a game announcement.

One site was speculating it could be Dragon Quest 8 exclusive.. which would definitely be a huge deal for GC sales in japan But it was pure speculation.. nothing to back it up of course.

It will definitely be game related or online gaming related.
It will either be a big exclusive, i.e. Dragon Quest series as an exclusive (as mentioned above).
Or perhaps the starting of an online service with the launch of a big game like Mario Kart.

Keep in mind that Nintendo hasn't said that they're making any announcement, only the magazine has said so.
I'm guessing that if there is an announcement, it will be the next game in a series that is big in Japan.

Nintendo's probably buying Microsoft those bastards... I hate how these big companies buy up all the other companies... it's bad for gamers... both casual and hardcore ones.

Well my guess is that it has to do with Square's announcment they are developing games for GameCube. Perhaps Final Fantasy is coming.

Its got to be something else. Dragon Quest could be it. Thats a huge game in Japan. Bigger than FF.
