I just received Nintendo´s invitation to their press tours at the German Games Convention. Press day is Wednesday, 22nd of August. The motto of the event appears to be ´My Nintendo´:
The text on the invitation reads:
Games Convention Leipzig 2007
Nintendo is offering more than games. Wii and Nintendo DS are offering experiences for life - for every age, for every gender, for every need. Experiences for body and mind - and, of course: fun. Experience Nintendo yourself. We promise moving moments and invite you to our press tour on August 22nd at the Nintendo booth A22 in Hall 2, as well as to an individual appointment in the Business Center, Floor +1, B12.
We are looking forward to meeting you.
So is ´My Nintendo´ poised to become a new label, similar to ´Touch Generations´? I will, of course, attend one of the press tours on that day. So expect that question to be answered in two weeks, right here.

Very nice!!! Id love to go to it! Maybe Nintendo will announce something new to the press, although saying that they are meant to in September???
ReplyDeleteId like to see more of games like mario kart and DOC. Lets hope they do. I do not see it happening though. More likely event to happen is that they will allow people to play Wii Fit and Metroid prime 3 etc. But we can surely hope that they do :)
Nintendo is going to show off Wii Fit for the Euro countries.
ReplyDelete"for every gender"
ReplyDeleteShouldn't that be "for each gender" or something similar? "Every" seems to indicate more than two possible answers.
Both genders would be the best way to use it.

Gender is not the same as sex. There are only two sexes, because it´s a strict biological dichotomy. But gender is a social construct, influenced by one´s own conception and societal influences.
So yes, there are more than two genders. At any rate, it is perfectly alright to write about ´every gender´ (hell, if The Onion does it, I can do it).
I realise that I am under heavy scrutiny since my last post, but you guys need to keep looking, I am afraid ;)

ReplyDeleteOh ok, thanks for clearing that up. Never thought about the possibility.
"I realise that I am under heavy scrutiny since my last post, but you guys need to keep looking, I am afraid ;)"
No that was more directed at Nintendo this time. I'll save a few rotten tomatoes for you if you like though :P
And don't be offended by my last assault, as I said, I have a natural scepsis towards the media. But you're allright, I'll let you live when the revolution comes.

No, not at all. I mean I´m not offended. And if you have to stand me up against the wall... well, at least I´ll know it´s nothing personal. ;)
Hi falafelkid, ich bin dieses Jahr auch auf der GamesConvetion (am 22. August, also Fachbesucher-Tag). Muss man sich für diesen Rundgang irgendwie anmelden oder reicht eine Rücksprache vor Ort?
