- Bozon thinks Nintendo will have the best conference since E3 2004…Since it’s time…Time for developers to show off what they have
- Bozon’s gut feeling is that Zelda will be shown with MotionPlus - Thinks they have to do it, have had plenty of time

Zelda rumors

- Heard crazy rumblings last week
- NOTHING IS CONFIRMED, NO LONGER TRUE
- 95% sure this was true at one time
- A year plus ago, Retro Studios was doing the new Zelda or doing something big with it
- For one reason or another that’s not the case anymore they don’t believe
- Not working on it anymore
- Got reliable info, there were internet rumors at one point
- This is a rumor, really good rumor, since has been debunked that they’re working on it
- They are not making that game anymore

- Matt thinks Nintendo is downplaying their conference and will have a bigger show then they’re letting on
- Bozon thinks the conference will be a split: 50 - 50 (casual and hardcore)
- Iwata, Reggie, Cammie will be on stage, probably Miyamoto as well
- Matt hoping Retro unveils their new game

- There hasn’t been another New Super Mario Bros. game for the DS even though it has sold well

Reader questions

- A little bit worried that Gladiator A.D. is using motion control for a fighting game
- Craig hopes that a new Star Fox will be unveiled at E3
- Think that Bethesda will announce their new game at E3
- Positive vibe from third-parties for the Wii going into E3
- Bozon would love if Metroid went back to 2D
- Rumblings that games are coming to WiiWare that maybe you wouldn’t think would be for WiiWare
- Don’t know of any developers using MotionPlus in WiiWare titles
- The Nintendo conference will be up shortly after it happens
- IGN Nintendo team knows about 95% third-party E3 games, Nintendo probably 10% - 15% (probably Sin and Punishment 2, etc)
- Tried to call Factor 5 the other day, phoneline is disconnected
- Matt could see Ubisoft, EA picking up The Grinder - SEGA has been burned too many times
