NINTENDO ANNOUNCEMENT THIS WEEK?
June 6, 2000

According to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, sources at Nintendo revealed that an announcement from Nintendo of Japan regarding the launch of both Game Boy Advance and Project Dolphin is coming this Friday. Nintendo did not confirm nor deny the report.

While there is no estimated date on when either system will hit Japanese retailers, both will be shown at Space World this August.

Of course, we've seen scenarios similar to this in the past. The first time was back at the beginning of the year when Nintendo said it would make an announcement within 10-15 days and failed to do so. The second time was just recently, when the company was reportedly going to make an announcement and did not.

Bottom line: don't count on an announcement this week. If it happens, there will be a lot of buzz about it, but Nintendo's not going to speak until they're ready to do so, even if that move is viewed as too late by some.

More on this as it develops.
