Quick Update: According to the good guys at The Wiire, SEGA of Europe announced this week that the Wii exclusive Sonic game is getting a name change. Formerly called Sonic Wild Fire, the game will now have the title Sonic and the Secret Rings. The game’s Arabian Nights theme may be the reason for the change. This Sonic title looks extremely promising and is going to be amazing to play.
I know you guys have heard about it, some of you cant wait for it (myself included), so here is some information for you.
Games Convention is undoubtly the second largest game show in the world held in Leipzig, Germany every year. It holds well over 134,000 visitors, 2,000 Press Members and 280 exhibitors.
Games Convention 2006 will take place on August 23rd-27th, 2006. Nintendo will be holding a Keynote entitled “Wii prove our promise” on August 23rd, 2006 starting from 4:15-5:15AM Eastern Time. At around 8:00AM, Nintendo and Electronic Arts will hold a special keynote together describing what is in store for Nintendo’s 5th console. I will be setting my clock nice and having full coverage for Leipzig, so keep it here.
We all know that Nintendo’s new wii-mote will be heaven for the genre of FPS. This is evident in the sheer amount of titles in the genre that are coming out at launch with the system in November. There is a new rumor floating around now that Nintendo is set to unveil a first person shooter of epic proportions in the vein of Microsoft’s own; Halo. I will have to reiterate that this is strictly a RUMOR.
The title has been said to be in development for a while now and will be unveiled next week during GC. The official Nintendo Forums was the first place to see this rumor come to life and has really got me thinking. What if this happens? What if there is some truth to the rumor?
My Thoughts:
Even though this title would really boost Nintendo’s unbelievable momentum, I am staying fairly pessimistic about the situation. Although I would love to see this happen and everything would just seem to fit, we all know how misleading rumors can be. If this bode to be true, I think a TON of people would be excited and would just be another nail into the competitions coffin. Stay tuned and we will keep you updated.
