Okay, there's a bunch of avenues to cover on this one, so stick with me. Ubisoft Brand Manager Leon Winkler joined up over at the Wii-DS.nl forums in order to do a little Q&A about Red Steel 2. Those questions have come and gone, and Leon has since stuck around on those forums to chat up various topics. Today, Leon was asked this question by another forum-goer.
"Oh, and Leon, did you already hear about the juicy rumor regarding Nintendo revealing a 'new platform' on the GDC 2010? The DS2 doesn't seem too obvious since the DSi XL is going to be released soon. Most of the signs point at a revamp of the current Wii (WiiHD anyone?). It seems to be leaked by an 'employee of a big international publisher'. Are you that employee by any chance, Leon?"
To which, Leon responded with this...
"I only leak when I go to the toilet. I do know it, but I'm not going to tell it MWOAAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Have fun speculating :D!"
Now, here's the question. Does Mr. Winkler know about the Nintendo rumored announcement, or is he talked about the Ubisoft announcement coming next week? Are the announcements related to one another? I don't know the answers, but this conversation certainly points to something interesting! Huge thank-you to Zelos for the info and translations!
What do you think? Could this be true? The guy told us to have fun speculating, so that means there's something there and it's not just pure rumor. WiiHD? lol, probably DS2, or perhaps a 3rd console?
