Nintendo October conference confirmed

“In terms of the press conference, its content and announcements are still being finalized so we are not announcing anything at this time.” – Nintendo statement

So, all doubts about the conference’s existence can finally be put to rest. I just hope that Nintendo will be able to match the quality of surprises and excitement as they did last year – Monster Hunter 3 on Wii, DS demos, Fire Emblem DS, and WiiWare’s launch date were all spectacular announcements.
