Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Earlier today, Nico Nico held an announcement broadcast for its annual “Nico Nico Chokaigi” convention. The show was highlighted by an appearance from none other than Shigeru Miyamoto.
Miyamoto announced that Nintendo intends to act as the “Super Special Sponsor” this year. It’s a bit unclear as to what this entails – though perhaps it’s a sign that Nintendo has something special in store for fans.
Nico Nico Chokaigi will take place on April 27 and April 28.
