Posted October 31, 2005 http://spong.com/detail/news.asp?prid=9258&cb=7.575631E-03 There is interesting chatter consuming our friends in Japan this morning, with talk of an early and somewhat low-key showing of the Mario game currently underway for the Nintendo Revolution. A Nintendo-focused set of keynote addresses has been organised for December 2 in Kyoto at Ritsumeikan University. Part of the Digital Interactive Entertainment Conference 2005, the National Symposium about videogames will see a 30 minute address from Shigeru Miyamoto. Several well-known independent sources contacted SPOnG to tell us that they had been hearing gossip for some days which pointed towards some sort of Mario showing at the university event. Of course, this is to be treated strictly as an unconfirmed rumour for now. We’ll keep digging and try and bring you confirmation from a party close to Nintendo in the coming week or so. After Merrick said no Revolution games will be shown this year it makes this rumour look useless, but you never know.... I wish it would happen anyway.

Posted October 31, 2005 Spong have been right alot when it comes to Nintendo news lately... so dont pick on them anymore... then again this one is just a rumour not news Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 31, 2005 well i guess this rumor died b4 it even began considering we just had jim merrick telling us that we (unfortunately) wont be seeing any games this year... sorry spong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 31, 2005 Miyamoto is giving a speech december 2nd, but I doubt there will be anything revealed apart from the controller shell? My money's on that. Merrick has made it very clear that we wont see the games this year, but is all this part of the suprise? Like come on, it would of been a suprise about the revolution controller if you stayed away from all the Gaming sites. But I maybe wrong, I most probably am. But its the last date this year they can leave us with details, maybe just a small revealing of one feature of the console? The shock tactics idea I had seems pretty unprobable, but im sure they'l show us something other than the games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 31, 2005 Merrick said we won't see any games this year but that doesn't rule out any information on them. I hope we get news on SSBR and Mario, cause I think its likely. I think on December 2nd Miyamato will announce the proper name for it too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 1, 2005 Several well-known independent sources contacted SPOnG to tell us that they had been hearing gossip for some days which pointed towards some sort of Mario showing at the university event. A Mario-based game? from Nintendo? Get out....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 1, 2005 Spong's news about the TGS was a lucky guess. I don't think it's true, Jim Merrick says we won't see games this year. I think we will (or at least we should) get a proper revealing early next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 1, 2005 That news article can be about anything Mario-Related. From Mario 128 to a guy dressed up as Mario. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 1, 2005 Lucky guess thats hardly plausible! Yes, it's a guess but it's plausible. When Nintendo says they won't show games next year and the E3 is too late for a rumored summer launch, Nintendo will have to show it before March. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 2, 2005 Didnt they say that they would reveal Mario at TGS? :P Im not counting on this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 2, 2005 I'm pretty much certain that the only thing Miyamoto is going to reveal at this key note is Twilight Princess info and a trailer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 2, 2005 Didnt they say that they would reveal Mario at TGS? :P Im not counting on this. Indeed, which is why I don't trust them as far as I could flick their fat sweaty asses. They haven't been right "alot" about Nintendo things lately, they guessed a couple of things and fucked up alot too. It's like believing the obvious bits of a horoscope and ignoring the bits that don't make sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 2, 2005 Whereas most people ignore the stuff they do get right and only remember what they got wrong, sound about right, anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 2, 2005 I like Spong more for their sense of humor and the fact that they criticize all 3 companies instead of putting Sony on a pedestal. I dont think they themselves make up phony news but some of their insiders seem to do so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 3, 2005 They do get some things right, but considering the amount of stuff they say, mathematically theyre bound to get something right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
