The only new info we've gotten are on things from third party developers. Who knows, maybe they'll announce something, but so far it isn't looking so good.

What's Nintendo showing at LGC 07? We don't know.


So, the Leipzig Games Convention is happening from August 23rd to August 26th this year, which is the end of next week. But what's Nintendo showing at LGC 07? They're keeping quiet. Last year, they announced Battalion Wars II, so maybe they'll announce a new game this year too. Only 6 days until it starts so we won't have to wait too long to find out.
