I don't think they'll announce anything major here, but they could announce maybe one decently-big new game. Most of it will be saved for their October Conference.

Still looking forward to it, though. Thanks for the tip!

@Soriku: So they will wait 1 more month before making a move to try and reinvigorate sales as quickly as possible? You really think Nintendo will let Sony getaway with the PS3 Slim launch that easy? If that's the case, then wow.

Besides the October Conference is only important for Japan, last year they only showcased 2 1st party Wii games in the USA, while they showed like 15 1st party games along with a lot of 3rd party games. This event is aimed for the West, so it's either now or never.

Maybe they will finally announce some release dates for games that haven't made it to Europe.

If Nintendo announced anything big, it will be at their October conference.

And by big announcement I don't mean games only, I mostly meant something to do with pricecuts or whatever it takes for the Wii to go up in sales again.

Don't people think this is too strange, that they decided to held up an event all of a sudden? This event is unprecedented and comes quickly after a lot of speculation sorrounding the Wii has been going on and after both their competitors have played their strongest cards. They definitely have to do something.

@thekitchensink: Np

Great, I hope they announce something that keeps me happy untill October.

@Soriku: So why do they attend to E3, I mean they are still Japanese games. And I'm not talking strictly about games, but maybe announcing some new pricing, or bundling strategy. Even announcing a new game is possible, Nintendo can't let the weeks go by and their sales decrease weekly.

You need to understand they are not in a position where they can sit back and relax, unless they don't care about the projections and don't care that the competition is now actually real competition due to price differences.

Waiting is losing, so I don't think they would want to wait a month. If it's a pricing strategy, then it better be implemented as soon as possible. And who knows, maybe this is replacing the October conference? Or it might be an annual event from now on.

This is just a small event people. Not a conference or something, why expect announcements?

Anyway, where is this damn event??? I wanna go. :(

See, i think it's the exact opposite. That them hastily reacting could be very damaging to them in the long run. They're not going to hastily price-drop just because the competition has. I mean, sure they're going to be selling more, but is that actually going to have a negative impact on Wii sales? Doubtful. It could be hard to sort out, but the decline of Wii sales is due to Nintendo's own failings, and nothing at all to do with Sony and Microsoft's actions.

Especially Microsoft's. That Elite cut is only going to be good in the very short term. They're not lowering the minimum point of entry, they're not going to see sustained growth from this cut. It's simple.
