NOA Conference 10/11/07, what do we expect?

Matt from IGN has stated that there is a conference tonight for NOA. However the whole thing might be NDA'd so we might not get anything but a new release schedule
a new release schedule
In fairness, there's not much of a way they could possibly follow up on all that Japanese news from yesterday, so a release schedule might be the only thing I want to hear about anyway. Just tell me that Brawl's still making it this year. Even if it's, like, December 17th or something.
 
The only reason impressions were embargoed at the June event is that they didn't want to jump the E3 gun right? Cant' see why they'd do the same here, hopefully we'll get lots of juicy impressions drifting in over the next few days.
 
There is a two-day media event starting tomorrow.

Please continue to build this event into something it's absolutely not going to be.

Okay, A Brawl delay is almost inevitable, but why do you say a Galaxy delay might occur?
Nintendo usually put their big game in mid-late November*. Galaxy is a bit earlier than the norm; I took it to be them splitting the difference, placing one major game a week-ish off in either direction. If there's no longer an early December Smash to act as a balance, though, perhaps they'll want to move Galaxy to that center spot?

Ocarina of Time: November 21
Donkey Kong 64: November 22
GameCube: November 18
Mario Kart DD: November 17
Metroid Prime: November 15
Metroid Prime 2: November 15
DS: November 21
Wii: November 19

Thanks for the heads up.

Maybe you'll get Wii Fit this year.

I highly doubt it.

Wii Fit should be released after the holidays in the U.S. The media will LOVE IT. I can already see it.

CNN: "Want to lose all those pounds you gained from eating this holiday?? Wii Fit is your best bet" etc..
 
When we don't expect anything, we get yesterday's megaton conference. So...I'm not expecting anything out of this. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

That's not how it works. :lol

But knowing that if we expect nothing, we might get something, aren't we still expecting something?
 
Yeah it was funny yesterday, Matt said nothing would happen , Dragona was surprised about the lack of hype, the thread was only 5 pages... and BOOM!!

So yeah I expect absolutly nothing! :D
 
I am going out on a limb and taking three random guesses:

Blaster Master remake for Wii Ware
Hudson becomes 2nd party with Bonk in SSBX
Create-your-own-platformer tool kit for Wii
 
Playable versions of everything at E For All Expo next week.
Info already made known at the Japanese event
New release schedule through Q1 2008.

That's all, really.

I would be all over blaster master remake.

Boo
 
Smash Bros impressions, please!

Also confirmation that it won't be delayed, so that I can stop being paranoid about it. :(

Matt got his days wrong I guess :/
 
well technically speaking this should be an 11/10 score conference. But since Americans can't write dates properly it'll only be a 10/11 :(
 
I do expect something big for the Western market as well (just like MH3 for Japan).
So maybe GTA Wii, Red Steel 2 or TimeSplitters Wii.

New additions to VC:
Majora's Mask
Super Mario Kart

Yes please!

Btw, is there going to be a NOE conference too? I want my SSMB!
 
I'm expecting nothing, other than a few western developed Wiiware titles, I may be suprised, but I don't think I will.
 
expected :
New WiiFit Release in USA (3rd December)
Smash pushed back to ~10th-17th December
First Video of Red Steel 2
American WiiWare Informations
Fire Emblem Infos
MK Wii ~April

and some other tings...
 
I wish for them to announce that GTAIV is coming to Wii and that the release date was pushed back to ensure all three versions get released on the same date :lol . Man GAF would be comedy GOLD.

I expect them to give a (revised?) SSBB date and show off the fall games.

I expected nothing last night and got a lot.

I'm expecting nothing from this. Although it would be very nice to get some concrete details on when, say, I will be able to send DS demos over from my Wii. Or something about HARD DRIVES.
I wouldn't hold my breath for HDD announcements or even the ability to load games from SD card. I say it won't happen. If anything they'll release a Wii revision later on (new colours maybe?) with more flash memory.

Nintendo are assholes sometimes, but I can't recall many situations where they offer new functionality only with a new model. It would really be shitting on the current owners if they said "Care about downloading games? Buy a new model!"
