Infendo attending Nintendo’s Fall Media Summit
Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 at 3:25pm by Sean
Nintendo won’t be at Tokyo game Show 2008 next week, and you won’t find them at the Entertainment for All Expo as it kicks off Friday. In lieu of hosting a booth at either of these events, Nintendo will be holding a two day press conference starting October 2nd with the vague promise of announcing “new products.”
After coming under heavy criticism for a casual-focused E3 presentation, Nintendo has been working to get back on the good side of its “core” audience. If you remember Nintendo’s apology, it almost seems like this press conference is Nintendo’s E3 do-over. Rumors are abound about DS redesigns, a heavily anticipated franchise revival, and Nintendo’s long awaited storage solution. Nintendo hasn’t gone out of their way to confirm or deny any of these rumors, and the guesses keep piling up. Is the DS redesign a DS lite with a camera, or the next generation of Nintendo handhelds? What could this long awaited franchise revival be? Kid Icarus? Punch Out? Clu Clu Land? Are any of these rumors even true?
You won’t have to wait much longer to find out. Nintendo’s Fall Media Summit starts Thursday, October 2nd, in San Francisco. As Infendo’s new local correspondent, I’ll be there to get the answers.

Welcome aboard Sean!
I’ve read infendo for a long time now (I remember the first podcast I listened to was around number 20) so I’m honoured to be the first one to say welcome to you!
Good luck with your writings, give us your best
PS: I have set my expectations at UBER-LOW for this conference, so whatever comes I’ll be happy…or at least not let down like I was at E3.

I look forward to reading your news updates.
I’ll still keep my ears out for anything here in NOA Land (Redmond, WA).

Anyway…welcome Sean to Infendo HQ.

We are definitely present in all four time zones and a few countries! I know that the last survey we did, 1/3 of our readers are from EU/UK, so we’ve got tips from them and Australia coming, too!
ANYWAY, welcome Sean! Can’t wait to see what you crank out!
