Nintendo’s at it again with another out-of-the-blue press conference to be streamed via their Nintendo Direct website at 8 AM CST on Feb. 22nd.
The last North American Nintendo Direct conference was held on Oct. 21, 2011 and did little more than discuss Hulu Plus, the 3DS fall firmware update, and Super Mario 3D Land. Rumours regarding the upcoming conference are naturally flying around, though. Some favourite things that people are hoping for include the announcement of a 3DS with two circle pads built-in, a name change and/or more launch info for the Wii U (any news regarding the Wii U, really), and release date details for upcoming games that are currently floating about without them like Paper Mario 3DS, Luigi?s Mansion 2 and Dragon Quest X. Here’s hoping that we’ll at least get some of that, but I think it will be something more along the lines of a new trailer for Mario Tennis 3DS and then an interview with some member of the team that made the upcoming Kid Icarus: Uprising game. Time will tell, and then we’ll tell you, so stay tuned for more info when the press conference goes live tomorrow.

Well, after a terrible E3 this year, Nintendo set out to redeem themselves with this year’s Nintendo Media Summit. Did they succeed? OH HELLS YEAH!
Well, first off on the list of awesome is: The Nintendo DSi.
It may look a lot like a DS lite, but there are a plethora of key differences (wording courtesy of GoNintendo, ’cause I’m tired :P):
- 12%, 2.6 millimeters skinnier, no more GBA slot
- bigger screens, better speakers, two cameras
- screens are 3.25 inches
- camera and audio functions
- pictures taken can be able to be manipulated via touch screens
- pitch and sound playback speed can be adjusted
- SD card slot
- store then view pics on Wii Photo Channel
- internal memory for apps
- built-in web browser
- download DSi Ware with Nintendo Points (Wii points renamed)
- apps will cost free/200/500/800 points.
- owners that connect by March, 2010 will receive 1000 Points as a gift. (Japan)
- Hits Japan on Nov 1st for 18900 yen
- DS Station will go into its second phase, becoming the Nintendo Zone service.
- service once again available at McDonalds
- Nintendo Zone Viewer included, no setup needed
- colors: white and frosted black
- 6-9 hours of battery life on medium setting
- the ability to download new apps and have them as “channels” in the main menu
- GameBoy camera-like stuff for the cameras
Lots of Wii and regular DS news as well, but we’ll leave that for morning.

Well, Nintendo’s had their kick at the E3 cat. How many of my predictions came true? Did Nintendo give me an early Christmas present by addressing any of my Pipe Dreams? Once again in the Kodak theatre, Nintendo had a huge venue from which they could unravel their magic upon a very ready and very large crowd of the press. Read on to find out whether they used their powers, or just left us by the wayside while they went off on a gaming tangent again.

This is Wish Bear
Well, E3 is once again upon us, and Microsoft had a pretty good showing today, so tomorrow morning it will be up to both Nintendo and Sony to strut their respective stuffs. Thus, it is as good a time as any to make some predictions before everything starts happening tomorrow. There have been very few rumours floating around before this E3, which is quite unusual. This could either mean that big things are afoot, or that nothing much will be happening at all. GoNintendo says that Iwatadono will be making an appearance this year, and that usually spells that something big is in the cards. Here are my predictions/hopes split into two categories: Predictions and Pipe Dreams.
