Okay, so it's not Space World, the legendary Nintendo-only event whose last appearance occurred in 2001. Nintendo's announcement of a new event, however, named Nintendo World 2006, certainly conjures fond memories. The event, which takes place over a mammoth ten-day period from November 3rd to the 12th (and again on November 25th and 26th), will feature hands-on playtime with the Wii and some of the hottest new DS titles. Best of all, it's open to the Japanese public, and completely free. Awesome.
While it's unknown if Nintendo will be making any major announcements at the event, it's understood that they will, at the very least, announce more specific details of the Virtual Console service (read: launch titles) a bit closer to Wii Day. What better place to spring some good news on the unsuspecting Japanese?

No entry fee? Pretty cool. It's free advertising to the Japanese public, and hands-on playing to convince some skeptics.

Ali, do a Google search for "Phoenix Nebula". Mr. Martin, I believe, was unsatisfied with the work and replaced it with "Phoenix Revisited" on his site, which I don't like quite as much. It's out there...
