Big Nintendo announcement on Monday (12/7/15)........ Could it be? (It wasn't)

[Mike S]

From the senior manager of marketing and licensing for Nintendo.

Speaking of announcements, I wish I could tell you guys, but stay tuned for Monday,” Baker said. “Monday there’s going to be something… something happening on Monday. It’s going to be big. Stay tuned, it’s going to be good.

I also read on Orlando United that apparently Mark Woodbury said recently at IAAPA that we would hear more about Nintendo in the "near future."

Could this be it?

Highly doubt it. Would be awesome, but seems too early to announce anything specific. Perhaps next year, but even then, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get solid details and concept art until 2017. Not that I have any sort of inside knowledge within the industry, so my opinion probably doesn't mean much but I just don't see them anouncing anything substantial this early on.

This announcement probably has something to do with gaming in some way. Nintendo will be launching some sort of an account system in North America soon so it could be that, they also might release the date of their next and last smash bros direct. Others have speculated (on gaming forums) that it may not be anything more than indie-related stuff.

Guess we will see soon enough, but I'm not expecting anything theme parks related

I know it's unlikely but it's still fun to speculate, especially since Mark Woodbury said we would hear more in the "near future" and then this comes up.

The partnership with Nintendo was not announced before work on the attractions had started development. The two most recent announcements were definitely different for Universal since they occurred before the closing of the previous attractions. The week before Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens seems like a poor time to get much attention.

This announcement is for something with gaming as far as I heard. Had not heard anything Universal related.

Maybe they'll announce that they're finally done peddling obsolete hardware that's an entire generation behind their competitors.

No?

 

[Mike S]

The news dropped, it's Minecraft Wii U. Oh well. I still think I had a good guess considering that Woodbury said we would hear about it in the near future.

No?

Nope - guess not

 

[GLaDOS]

Nope - guess not

They've said multiple times that we won't hear about the NX until next year.

 

[EngineJoe]

Oh, what a let down.

Were still getting a Smash Bros. Broadcast soon.
