Just what the hell is Nintendo up to?

At E3 of course. We basically have 90% of M$ and Sony. Sure they must have some secrets but for the most part of the game list we know it. But Nintendo. They got some 3rd party games known or shared with other consoles otherwise zilch. Its like they forgot to hire someone to leak info. SO what do you expect from Nintendo with such a barren news reel?

Well, they're gonna rake in the dough soon with The Legend Of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for DS. But other than that, they haven't leaked hardly anything. I have a subscription to the magazine, and they hardly leak anything in there. WTF do i pay $5.00 for???

$5? For a subscription? That's $15 less than I was paying. I'd like to know where you got that deal. (You meant a single magazine right?)

Somewhere at one time Iwata or another Ninty executive announced they planned on keeping information tight until very close to the release date. Little or no information at this present time for E3 doesn't surprise me. The little information the company makes available at all is also why I've given up on the NP subscription. The internet is so much quicker to disperse and relay that info there's no point to the magazine anymore. [Though I will miss some nifty promotional items and posters here and there, but they were few and far between]

Dropping the info late is a bold, but excellent move to make sure that the hype built up around games peaks just when everyone really wants it. The trick is creating enough hype so that everyone wants to buy the game.

I don't have many games I'm looking forward to from the Nintendo camp anytime soon. I only wonder if others feel the same. So much for the trick if that's the case.

Nintendo's main title for this year's E3 was already leaked. It was a year ago at the end of last year's E3 when Miyamoto announced they were working on Pikmin 3 after everyone kept on asking him why they had no good games to show.

Well true. And we got both the Mario and the Zelda team working on stuff. So technically we know what they should show as it is only proper. Saying its for the gamers and core of course. But besides a new mario a new zelda(spirit tracks is for the ds team. The Wii tema got something as well) and a new pikmin anything else? I can see a new peripheral or WiiFitPlus.

We'll probably also see more of Sin and Punishment 2, Takuto of Magic (Lost Magic 2), Dynamic Slash, and Endless Ocean 2 along with Pikmin 3 and Zelda Spirit Tracks.

I only expect new Mario and Pikmin games.
