Default Big GCN Announcement Pending?

Derived from IGN:

Big GCN Announcement Pending?

One of Japan's biggest magazines hints at big things to come later this year.
September 30, 2002 - The latest issue of V-Jump, a monthly Japanese magazine that combines videogame coverage with comics, features a miniature one year anniversary celebration of the GameCube (yes, it's been a year since Nintendo's purple console launched to Japan allowing IGNcube to bring you such stories as Journeys of Box). Included as part of the festivities is a tantalizing hint at big things to come in GameCube land towards the end of this year.

The magazine states that, in addition to seeing more detailed coverage on its pages, the GameCube will also see something of "mega-ton level" (that means like a nuclear explosion, kids) happening at the end of the year. Above this little blurb is another, seemingly speculative pondering by V-Jump: "The start of a super-big project that will cause a worldwide boom for the GameCube?"

Yes, we are all very excited. And thankfully, as the end of the year is fast approaching, the wait for clarification may not be all that long. Stay tuned.


What could it be? Online gameplay? A hovering scooter? New out-of-this-world technology? This is the place to speculate. Only time will tell.

I have 3 predictions...

1. Earthbound on the cube...

2. Pokemon Online

3. A Nintendo + Square deal... *Crosses fingers*

This is big news for all Nintendo fans. So do you think IGN will announce this once they get ahold of it? Also, when do you think it will be announced...

"The start of a super-big project that will cause a worldwide boom for the GameCube."

Now I am very curious...

A Nintendo + Square deal? Whatcha mean? Like a game developed by Nintendo and Square?

Anyways... I have no clue what it could be...

A super-big project that will cause a worldwide boom for gamecube?

I doubt earthbound would do that... pokemon online maybe... although I think normal pokemon would be bigger cuz it would be accessable to more people...

But hmm I dunno what it could be

Maybe they gonna announce a realistic looking Zelda game? hah they wouldn't do that when the current Zelda they're working on isn't even out yet...

Uhhh... hmm...

Super big project? Aaahhh what da fudge could it be? You'd think that Zelda, Mario, and Pokemon would be like the biggest things Nintendo has... a Mario game was just released and it wasn't anything super-big, Zelda is already a ways along and is coming out early next year... so I guess the only one left would be pokemon...

Unless it's some kind of cross-developer thing or maybe a Kingdom Hearts-like game starring Nintendo characters

Or maybe there's not really gonna be a big announcement, or maybe they're just hyping the announcement to be something bigger than it will really be...

Whatever it is, I bet it's going to change the video game industry forever.

Edit: Okay, so maybe I'm a little caught up in the excitment. Like DeathsHand said, this could just be some little thing being blown out of proportion, like Pikmin 2 or something However, I don't think it will involve any existing cast of characters, I think it will introduce a brand new cast of characters. Who knows?

Maybe Nintendo will quit making consoles and start making games for X-Box and Ps2...?

While most people here would say something to the effect of "Yeah right " or "LMAO THAT'LL NEVER HAPPEN OMG HAHAH!"

I'll say it's always a possibility, but I highly doubt it



And Pikmin 2? That wouldn't be a major thing!? Y'gotta be kidding me!

I know that. I was referring to a Pikmin 2 when I was talking about your idea of something little being blown out of proportion. Then I followed with an unsure face to show how that would be dissappointing.

THE GC can now play Ps2 games with better graphics. I'm sure this is what Nintendo will announce...of course they will annouce it secretly so as to avoid lawsuits...but we will still know.
Damn Nintendo's smart. ^^


On a serious note I wonder what it could be this time? Is it something really revolutionary?? Or is the magazine just hyped up over nothing?? Could it be a game that redesigns how games are made?? Or is it a Pokemon game where Pikachu gets a new move where he shoots from out his @$$???

Stay tuned to the end of this year to find out. Same website .....same forum.

TAaddadadaddadadada.
