Nintendo will not be giving a press presentation in the traditional sense at the Leipzig Games Convention this year. The company will instead be taking members of the media on tours around their presence at the show, giving an intimately informational session at the convention.
“There is no press conference at Leipzig this year. What’s going to happen instead is there will be media tours – groups of people that Nintendo Germany will take around the stands explaining the games to, and giving more detailed hands-ons to.
“The real reason why we’re doing it is because you only fully understand a lot of our products when you play them. We felt focus and attention was better spent on more intimate briefings rather than just one big press conference.”
Fans may remember last year’s convention as being hyped by fans as the obvious venue for revealing the Wii’s release date and price. Neither was announced, but fans got their first look at the just-announced Mario Strikers Charged and BWii: Battalion Wars 2.
