I'm off to Nintendo's Seattle headquarters in just a few hours for a three-day event officially titled "The Nintendo Experience." I think it should be called, and am hereby redubbing it, "Stylus in Seattle."
You don't have to be an OMG INDUSTRY INSIDER to figure out that with the gigantic launch of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection coming up in less than two weeks, the emphasis is going to be on the service's launch titles: Mario Kart DS and Tony Hawk's American Sk8land.
But we can't possibly spend three days on those two games, and the rest of the schedule is currently super-secret. There will definitely be information on certain games in Nintendo's early-2006 lineup, which currently looks like this:
Not to say that all of these will be represented, but anything on that list is a likely candidate. Also, it was announced in the UK that Japanese DS hits Brain Training and Band Brothers were going to get released there across the Atlantic, so perhaps we'll hear about one or both this week. (Or not -- Nintendo UK has released games in the recent past that Nintendo of America has passed on entirely. So it's far from a sure thing.)
