The latest buzz surrounding GDC 2009 is that three (four, technically) Nintendo characters will be at this year’s conference this year. The rumor specifically involves Link, Kid Icarus, and the Ice Climbers. Games wouldn’t necessarily be shown - hints to future projects, listing of the characters, or possibly more would be shared.

I do want to stress that this rumor should be taken with a huge grain of salt. In the past, some rumors have proved to be valid but in this case it’s really unclear. I would expect Nintendo to do something like this at E3, but not really GDC…Who knows. We’ll have to just wait and see. Just remember to have a bit of skepticism in mind and don’t set yourselves up for disappointment!

i hope this is true. if it doesn thappen then nintnedo will like totally have betrayed their fans:P (joke)

in all seriousness i really dont believe this.  id see zelda being at E3/ one of their own conferences.  i think the kid icarus project is dead and i think well be seeing rock n roll climbers instea dof ice climbers.  tome this rumouir would be more belevable if the 3 frnachises were star fox, f-zero and golden sun. imguessing nintnedo will msotly focus on Dsware and wii sport resort although we may get a new wii game

Would be good if true. But not holding my breath. When is GDC?

end of march i think

I am going to take this rumor with the hugest grain of salt ever

i hope its true but i doubt it

When something sound to too good to be true it probably is.

And the fact is that it isn't even remotely close to happening.

Rock n Roll climbers probably But Zelda???

maybe @ E3

zelda better be at e3 or nintendo is going to be in some serious trouble with thier fans, more than ever.

Buys a few bags of salt….
