Possibly, best not to get hopes up.

Sounds interesting... I have to stay up to write a paper anyway.

I'm guessing they mean "tonight" in America?

 

[Costello]

or maybe everyone is getting it completely wrong and this is just an IGN specific event (like a live review of something or w/ev)

How long till the announcement? (Im not based in usa so Im wondering )

It's about Mario Kart 8: http://www.gonintendo.com/s/225441-ign-hyping-up-mario-kart-8-news-tonight

There is only 24 more minutes for "tonight" by Pacific Standard Time. So unless we are going by Hawaii's clock, I'm guessing they mean early April 3rd (assuming it's a Japanese Nintendo Direct).

It can't be that earth shattering of news for them to do a surprise like this. If it was a big deal they would have been marketing it in advance.

Bah I was hoping for something epic like new Metroid or Starfox

Ta dah.

[Costello]

this is so underwhelming that I'm moving the thread to the general gaming area.

IGN, the masters at cockteasing.

Where you expecting Nintendo to announce they finally know what they were doing?

 

[the_randomizer]

Nevertheless, the game does indeed look awesome.
