Reggie is apparently appearing at VGX
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 5 Comments
During the latest GT.TV, Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aime teased some kind of showing from the Big N at VGX. He said, “We may be making an appearance, we may have something special. We’ll see.”
There’s already been plenty of speculation as to what Nintendo has in store. Interestingly, it sounds like Reggie himself will be appearing at the awards show.
Geoff Keighley, who is leading the efforts on VGX, tweeted the following earlier today:
And yes, Reggie did tease his first-ever appearance at VGX in just 2 weeks.

Posted on 10 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 5 Comments
The following comes from research firm DFC Intelligence, who has been at least moderately accurate with their predictions in the past:
– They expect Wii U to sell 25 million units or less over its lifetime
– A bit more than the Gamecube
– Lower than initially expected, but they believe Nintendo is playing the right cards
– “Nintendo is carving out a different audience”
– Not the same audience that Sony and Microsoft are going after.”
– They’re going after Nintendo fans first, “I think … it’s the right strategy”

Namco Bandai has trademarked “Zombie Stampede”, “Dead Hunters”, and “Bloodbath Boulevard” in Japan. Each was registered on the same day, interestingly enough. Given Namco Bandai’s previous habits, any of the three could be the name of a single title Namco Bandai is planning for the future.
