Nintendo wants to get all kinds of intimate at this year's Leipzig conference, apparently, as they aren't going to treat this year's show a bit differently. Instead of the usual big theatrical deal, Nintendo will be offering smaller media tours, taking attendees through their line-up of games with someone from Nintendo Germany.Why the new approach? "It's important for people to play our games to fully understand them," a Nintendo spokesperson stated, further adding "We feel it's better to do this through more intimate briefings than through a big conference. Also, a lot of people who come to these conferences never actually play the game, so with these smaller presentations everyone will play them, and will get to ask the question they need to." Having been to a lot of these types of shows, we think the change is for the best.
What do you guys think?

I think Christopher Walken is the best thing since Christopher Walken.

Maybe that's true... or maybe they're just trying to control the agenda? I'm not saying that it's anything sinister - well, okay, it is - but its what you expect companies to try to do with the press. That's what "It's important for people to play our games to fully understand them," says to me anyway.
Anyway, as long as we get a firm European release dates for BWii and Mario Galaxy I'll be happy. And some more info on BWii. Lots of new info. And maybe something on Smash Bros? Online play? Something in MOH: Heroes 2? (And its online play?) Okay maybe it'll take quite to please me, but then E3 didn't exactly yield that much great gaming info, really...

Smart move... sell everyone on the touchy feelies. Nothing sells the Wii better than getting someone's thick hands on that wiimote.

I just wish that Nintendo would announce some new games because I know they have them, but they are just so tight-lipped about everything. Bring on Pikmin 3!
