I don't think any of that is big enough. this sounds huge, and people (at least I) am not very impressed by new series anymore. Nintendo is either buying sombody or (and this would be cool) making a harddrive for the cube, those are my guesses.

I bet it's a revamped, modernized version of the Virtual Boy virtual headset for Nintendo Gamecube. Allowing one to be in the game. Putting the virtual headset on would submerge you into a 3D world where you are on the quest. Totally separting you from the outside world.

I think , and heard from a source that Nintendo is buying out a company, the company's name has yet to be named, but that is what happened, they are using the money that they got for rare, and are using towards this new and possibly promising developer.

heh...

Maybe we should stop expecting so much so we won't be disappointed..

This very well could be. Nintendo buying out Capcom? Probably not. At first, I was thinking a price drop to $100?? Probably not. I guess i have no idea what it could be.

I don't get it, I don't even see how buying a developer (unless it was a very very popular one, which won't happen... although... rumors that FFXI won't make it to US shores... No details on FFXII yet... what other projects is Square working on for PS2? Nah I doubt it would be Square anyways) would be so AMAZINGLY AMAZING as they make it sound...

I mean mega-ton deal?

For some reason I doubt anything will live up to the hype of being a "mega-ton deal"...

As for price drop to 100 dollars...

a: That wouldn't be worldwide

b: Nintendo said no more price drops soon

c: That wouldn't be mega-tonnish

I mean like a cross developer thing liek you mentioned in your post. Now wouldn't that be great..? Think Kingdom Hearts with Nintendo in it... You go to Mushroom Kingdom and Hyrule. Planet Zebes and Dinosaur Planet. With a few expectations from some Nintendo starts such as Diddy Kong, Ness, Samus, Mario, Link, and the others.

True, that's also one of my predictions. It could happen. Remember Sega..? Anything's possible.

I am 110% sure it's not that. I know, I know... You were being sarcastic. But imagine how much it will suck if that was the major announcement.

Whatever it is, it must be related to the money gained from the Rare deal. So they could be buying exclusive content for the GC, or maybe a certain company, maybe capcom...

Microsoft's deal to buy out Rare was a pretty good deal. With the new funds Nintendo has earned, I am sure it has something to do with this "Big announcement." I highly doubt Capcom would go 2nd party. Although it'll be awesome, I remember reading an email saying "Capcom has no intentions going 2nd party."

I really hope they buy Square... I don't think it can happen but seeing as the whole world has gone insane this year, it's a small possibility.

It might even be a new franchise Nintendo is working on... Probably a new RPG franchise to out-stand Final Fantasy...? Whatever it is, I just hope it's something good.

Muy guesses are:

1)Mario Kart Online. With lots of new cicuits to play in. And up to 12 players can play online.

2) The GameQ is coming states side and will cost the same as a regular cube. This way Nintendo would discontinue the regular model asnd replace it with the Game Qs. Tough I think they would name it the Game Cube anyway. Will most probably not happened but that would be cool tough.

3) An action game developed and Published by Nintendo. That would be surprising.

4) Nintendo buys MS.

Tell me that wouldn't be megatonish.

Yeah, and Nintendo owned 49% of rare... What happened? All hell broke loose... So I think Nintendo buying out Square is possible. I am not saying it's gonna happen but I think it could happen.

I think they are going to annouce some game by a third party where you are a monkey, and you roll around in a ball to get around.

Oh wait, thats already been done.

GameMaster · 10-03-2002, 01:54 AM

Maybe an online Pokémon game has been developed and ready to ship to stores and Nintendo wanted to surprise their loyal customers with this undercover game. That could be mega-tonnish. I mean, how cool would it be if Nintendo suddenly announced an online Pokémon game for Gamecube to be released everywhere in two weeks.

Angrist · 10-03-2002, 08:03 AM

What if they bought out Enix?? That would give us the Dragon Warrior series, which are almost as popular as FF in Japan.

A huge online plan would be cool, but that's also done by M$, so it wouldn't be such a boom.

I think a HD is shipped with PSO right?? So why would they announce one?
