Reggie Fils-Aime, the excitable president of Nintendo of America, has promised a "big game for the holiday that gamers will want". Full details will emerge at this summer's E3 event in the US, but that won't stop speculation that Nintendo are bringing one of their classic icons to the Wii. Maybe Donkey Kong? Or could it be - gasp - new IP? Unlikely, given Nintendo's regular recycling of their established brands, but fingers crossed etc
"All I can tell you is what we announce during E3 is gonna be fantastic. The gamer is gonna be excited and the expanded audience is gonna be excited," said Fils-Aime
So, what do you think? A blatant PR hit or a belated realisation that traditional gamers are underwhelmed by 90% of Wii games? And what game is he hinting at? Maybe a new Zelda title?
