Don't know why this game wasn't revealed today. I know Nintendo showed it to most of the sites yesterday. I'm sure we'll get the full scoop soon enough.

so site shave already been shown the game, we just need to wait for the embargo to end

but

I don't know why Nintendo is making people wait so long for this announcement. I am reluctant to provide any more details than I already have, but trust me at this point when I say there won't be too many people out there who will be blown away when this one gets revealed.

so it prob wont be  something like star fox or f zero

and when asked about its coolness compared with Pokepark he says

I'd say less cool in concept, but most likely a better game when it's all said and done

however

There is one interesting aspect to the title that hasn't been fully revealed yet. The ultimate quality of this title may hinge on how well this aspect is executed

to add to the mystery

I don't think anyone will be able to guess what this game is. I never would have expected this title to be in the works.

and even more mysteriously

I was actually excited about it when I first heard what it was, but after more details made it my way, it no longer seemed nearly as appealing. It's still a cool idea, just not one that anyone asked for or expected.

to those of you thinking its the mario title

I don't think these two games have anything to do with each other. Martinet must have been referring to something further down the line.

and now heres even more posts to confuse you

can state with absolute certainty that it is NOT that Pokemon game. It is something that came out of nowhere and shocked the hell out of me. That's not to say that it's a Megaton-level announcement, just that I certainly didn't expect it.

I'd have to say that my hype level is somewhat low for the title, despite the fact that I'm certain it'll be a really stellar game. I can understand why Matt and Craig don't sound completely blown away by it, even though it had to have caught them off guard too. 7

I suppose some people will be sad about it, but I know that I won't. It's definitely not something that anyone has considered yet. I think sites will have previews for the title going up tomorrow, so there shouldn't be too much waiting left. I'm certain that many of the people on this board (at the very least) will be psyched about the game, just not as psyched as we all want to be over a mysterious Nintendo announcement.

The reason why it's unexpected is that it's just really an odd time to make the announcement, just looking back on the Nintendo-published Wii games we have gotten in the past year or so.

I also would not say that I am not at all excited for the game, just that it's not too easy to get totally hyped for without knowing more details than just the franchise it's from. I'm sure once the previews actually hit tomorrow that I will be more excited than I am now.

so established frnachise, odd announcement time, hype low, quality high, less cool than pokemon,  interesting feature, it will shock you, but wont blow you away, not a megaton, something no one can guess. so just an average nintendo mystery then.

you know what i think?

ICE CLIMBERS!

ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

So it's kind of maybe not really going to be a very good game, except maybe like if it actually kinda ends up being a little better or slightly less bad than i'm expecting in which case it could actually be really kind of good, but I'm far from certain about that.

I don't know about you guys but i'm hyped....i think.

Kid Icarus!1!!!1one!1

(hey, IGN said it was coming years ago, so no reason to be hyped about it right )

Some low key franchise (no idea what) with Wii vitality sensor support.

Awesome!

I could easily see it being Ice Climbers or something odd like that

@ nordlead


cant be kid Icarus since Matt would clearly be extremely excited for that.

also he said it came out if no where when hes none about icarus for years :P

Yes, perhaps Kif Icarus ! But Starfox or F-Zero will be good !

well lets see, the weren't hyped for mario kart wii either.

luigi's mansion 2, the way they referred to the martinet twitter post made it seem like it still had something to with the mario series, just that it was a different game

well anyway i'm calling luigi's mansion 2

I'm not going to get my hopes up because I hate getting dissapointed.

but I'm guessing Kirby or Kid Icarus, or Starfox.
