I'd heard rumours but I guess it's now official... Yeeee-haaaa!!! (read on) This year's ECTS is to be honoured by a royal visit. Not Prince Harry looking for a few freebies for his PlayStation, but a much greater stranger to British soil. As unlikely as such an event might have seemed even just a year or so ago his royal genius-ship Shigeru Miyamoto will be making be the long haul to promote Zelda 64 in London. This is actually as good as proof as any before it that Nintendo is finally(after about 10 years) taking Europe seriously as a viable marketplace, worthy of respect and the odd product release. Even with the appearance of Miyamoto-san, Nintendo is still acting a little foggy when it comes to promising Zelda 64's pre-Christmas European release. Still at least this'll put another feather in ECTS' cap and further ensure that it is seen as by far the premier trade event in Europe. You can judge for yourself on 6-8 of September, tickets for which are already available by phoning +44 (0)1203 426 466. ---------great stuff!------- Nick "excited" F --------------------------- http://www.saqnet.co.uk/users/nickf http://www.n64gazetta.com http://www.netyaroze-europe.com/~rookie1 ICQ #9464742 "Why don't we just wait here a while, see what happens..?"
