I love Nintendo.....but this wasn't bigger than the announcement of ANY game ever, because new info on existing games is not, nor ever shall be bigger than the announcement of any NEW game, in my opinion. New info is marketing, announcements are news.

Well what about the announcement of certain games America was waiting to get for forever?  Like Monster Hunter Tri and Dragon Quest IX which Nintendo is going to publish.  In my opinion, those announcements are as big as a 'new game' announcement because they are the actual announcement for the game in America and the release date all at the same time.  And they confirm the games will actually be coming here.

Sure, we all knew games like Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid: Other M were coming and an approx. date for them.  But games like Monter Hunter Tri and Dragon Quest IX were totally up in the air for months (and in the case of Dragon Quest IX, years).

announcement of NSMB Wii and Metroid and Mario Galaxy is the same as giving out dates of release for 3rd party games like Monster Hunter and DQ which we had known for months were coming this year. Seriously?
