Ubisoft, THQ might be hinting at rumored next Nintendo platform

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 14 Comments

Reader Zelos has sent a bunch of information our way regarding Nintendo’s rumored platform announcement at GDC. For those who missed out on the original story, there was some unconfirmed speculation earlier this week from “an employee at a major international publisher” that Nintendo has a platform announcement in store for GDC. Now the latest news is that Ubisoft and THQ might be hinting at that same revelation next month. I’ll let Zelos explain…

“I’m a member of the Dutch website www.Wii-DS.nl (I’m sure you’ve heard about them before: they’re the biggest Nintendo-website in the Benelux and often come up with exclusive news like European releasedates and screenshots. They’ve had exclusives like the PAL-releasedate of Mario Kart Wii and Fire Emblem DS and they had the first exclusive screenshots from Excitebots…something remarkably was posted on their forum today. The Ubisoft Benelux Brand Manager named Leon Winkler, registered himself a while ago on the Wii-DS.nl forum to answer questions about Red Steel 2 personally. After a while, the questions were also related to other game-stuff and right after the presented rumor of Nintendo’s next platform, the following question came up on the forum, in Dutch:

“Oh en Leon heb je al gehoord van de sappige roddel dat Nintendo tijden GDC 2010 een “nieuw platform” gaat aankondigen? DS2 lijkt me niet logisch aangezien de DSI XL dan net op de markt is. De meeste tekenen gaan naar een revamp van de Wii (WiiHD anyone?). Schijnt gelekt te zijn door een “medewerker van een grote internationale publisher”, ben jij die medewerker toevallig Leon?”

The literal translation:

Rumor: Sonic to be a playable character in Super Mario Galaxy 2?

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 13 Comments

This is one of the strangest rumors I’ve ever lately. NGamer has posted some messages on their Twitter account claiming Sonic will be playable in Super Mario Galaxy 2. That speculation apparently comes “from a trusted source.” NGamer also said that Sonic will have his own levels in the Green Hill Galaxy. This definitely seems fake to me, but then again, stranger things have happened.

“We’ve just had some shocking news from an inside source at Nintendo: Sonic will be a playable character in Mario Galaxy 2! Wha?…More teasing from our insider: Sonic levels will be in ‘Green Hill Galaxy’…”
