Take your pick: Smash Bros and/or Metroid Prime at Nintendo Media Summit?
It all started out as a simple question in the NeoGAF forums, with someone querying if there was a Nintendo press event coming soon. Rumors ablaze and conspiracy theorists a-surging, what once was speculation is now looking more and more real. Maybe there really is an event coming up, probably as early as next week even.
Common sentiment holds that a “media summit” would take place, with Nintendo revealing some potentially big news on two of their most awaited titles Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Some attribute this to the countdown at the SSBB official site and the reservations of Metroid on GameStop.
The most official-sounding (we’re not saying it’s official; we’re saying it’s official-sounding) is a post made by Geek, who reveals specific dates and other official-sounding details:
The Media Summit will take place May 22 (all invitees) and May 23 (pre-approved long-lead only invitees on embargo). No mention of embargoes on the earlier stuff yet, but expect some new *something*, including 3rd party software. Stuff should start showing up after 6 PM PST on the 22nd (unless some Blackberry owners start posting from the event).
Embargoes? Who the heck uses that term these days? For some reason, the mention of such words makes it official-sounding. In any case, be sure to keep your eyes peeled. We’ll bring you guys more info as soon as they become official (sans “-sounding“).
