Yeah Microsoft's "All XBLA games must have a publisher and if you don't have one then we'll act as publisher but you'll have to play by our obtuse rules for the privilege" policy is really ass backwards in this day and age. All other services let independent developers "self-publish" which is why they don't have the same stupid restrictions.

Yes. More speculations.

The last time I played any software of this sort was the Microsoft Space Simulator for PC back in high school, some time in the mid-1990s. Despite being a bit difficult to control, it left quite an impression on me. I'd love this kind of thing on the U.. different crafts to pilot, things hidden on the surfaces on various bodies. It'd be soooo good!
Gonna sound conspiratorial here..
yes. (edit: I would not be surprised in some cases)
I'm holding my breath to see what comes after the initial wave of launch titles and quick-ports. That is going to be the moment of truth for this console, in my eyes. If we start hearing barely-viable excuses here and there, my B.S. detector is going to go-off. I know lots of folks around here are positive on how "close" companies like Ubi or Capcom are with Nintendo, but after being burned for the last two generations and seeing "for MS/Sony/PC/F-U-Ninty" so many times, trust will have to be re-earned.

And a haunting soundtrack like Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here and Echoes, Space Odyssey 2001 or Moon (2009 movie) would be the awesomest.

Just enough time for me to grab a shower and then anoint my body with fragrant oils to get into the mood.
Unfortunately, you are correct.
That 200 title claim was for 3DS wasn't it? From Nintendo's investors meeting.
Good call. For some reason, I keep on forgetting about how important Twitter has become in breaking video game news, intentionally or not.

Knowing our luck, some asshole will report that BEHIND-CLOSED-DOORS, there was a brand new Zelda demo but that he can't talk about it.
People can't resist inadvertently telling the world what that amazing game is they've just seen. There's always leeks and comments.

If Nintendo indeed has nothing new to show for Wii U, at least there is a chance of interviews with Kit Ellis and other Nintendo personnel (I wonder if Reggie and Scott Moffitt are attending) bringing some fresh information.
Nah, he wouldn't even mention Zelda. He would say "Guys, I just saw something amazing that you all want see - but can't talk about it".

Yeah, you know he's going to post it though and not keep it to himself.
"Whilst most will hope for new information in regards to the companys forthcoming home console, the Wii U, these presentations will instead discuss progress on the Nintendo 3DS. Similarly, the show floor will only see a strong handheld presence."

And everyone goes apeshit insane.
three days later we will find out that it was the old zelda demo and the guy had no idea what he was talking about.
Classic game journalism. U know.
Yep. "I just saw the most amazing thing ever... the internet is going to explode when they get to see this!"
Fuck.
And then we'll set-off into the same cycle of guessing, guessing, guessing, and bitching at him for saying anything in the first place. Fun times!

Do closed-door events even happen at GDC? I would have thought that any such events would have happened on Monday or Tuesday.

Anybody expecting anything else was being delusional.
All we can hope for is leaks from developers or vague details on what is shown behind closed doors.

Hopefully in the Mario 3D Land presentation, they will close with what to expect with the next 3DS Mario because Iwata Asks already covered that game.

Square Enix owns that IP.
Today is the day for news! Time to use the hustle to plea to the gods for a favor
Off topic. I love this episode of Futurama. Does anyone know the episode title?
On topic. I'm trying not to get hyped or excited. I would like to be surprised in the end though.
bummer =/

You're all wrong.
That's a 1 month-old article though...
Hmm.. I wonder if Nintendo might've changed their mind in the meantime..
It's too late the gravitational pull of the sun is pulling you in.
