WiiNintendo

Nintendo will show up at the Leipzig Conference this August. What I didn’t know was there may be a Spaceworld. A rumor for now.

Nintendo’s booth was busy with traffic at the San Diego Comic-Con last week. Crowding the booth were several Nintendo representatives, booth babes, and fans. Nintendo Now got a chance to speak to many people at the booth about upcoming projects and announcements. Although our source wished to remain unnamed, we can tell you that it was not a fan or a booth babe that gave us this information.

This source inside the convention informed us that there is a strong possibility that some new annoucements about the Wii will be made at the Leipzig Game Convention, which runs from August 24-27. We were also told definitively that Nintendo will hold its own show to demonstrate the Wii, which will likely be the console’s final display before the launch. He did not give any details on kiosks–this does not mean there will not be any, he just did not know.

When asked about the Tokyo Game Show, our source said that Nintendo will likely not surprise anyone with a sudden appearance on the showfloor, but he was not certain whether or not further announcements were planned for the show. He did say, however, that new information was more likely to come at Leipzig.

Our source indicated that his information was not definite, but his details fit Nintendo’s vague comments regarding the next announcements of information. We have heard that final details about Wii will be learned by or during the month of September. Also floating around is the rumored October release date, and many sources have indicated Nintendo is going for sooner rather than later in order to beat Sony to the punch. Therefore, one can speculate that Nintendo might choose to announce details at Leipzig, make a final showing of the console sometime in September and possibly have kiosks in the shops for the months of September and/or October leading up to the rumored launch date.

Our source’s story makes sense, but without any definite information from Nintendo, it, like almost all of the details that have surfaced since E3, should be taken with a grain of salt.
