Beware the Ides of March! (BIG Wii secret to be unveiled in the coming weeks!)

[TheGrayGhost]

Yeah, I know the Ides of March are already past, but I needed a cool title for this awesome thread.

In case you haven't caught on, there's several supposedly huge secrets that are going to be divulged in the coming weeks; I believe VaderRise's thread covers ONM's coming announcement, but several other big-time magazines have released similar cryptic statements. So far we have NGamer and ONM revealing something next month. Now EGM.

​

The magazine news keeps coming - This time, EGM

JasonMCG sent in a little blurb from the latest issue of EGM. His email said he included a scan as well, but it looks like he forgot to attach it. As soon as he gets back to me with the scan I will update this story. The text from the issue reads as follows.
“If this Month’s Wii feature isn’t enough to get you all hot and heavy, then next issue’s selection of upcoming titles should do the trick. Some of these games are so secret that we’re forbidden to drop hints for the fear of PR ninjas (yes, they exist) dropping into the office to test the limits of the human spinal cord.”
Doesn’t sound as earth-shattering as ONM or NGamer, but interesting nonetheless. At least we know they will be showing off more than one game.​

Hopefully, this isn't a continuation of April Fool's; the April issues have already been published, so this should be brand new, legitimate information. That said, don't get your hopes up.

But it makes you wonder what Nintendo would have done at GDC if it wasn't under the gag-order. Personally, I'm not too surprised, as Nintendo delights in keeping fans in the dark and waiting until the opportune moment to release information.

Thoughts? Speculation?​

Also, I forgot to mention that IGN Wii editor Matt Casamassina wrote a blog a few weeks ago entitled "Something Wicked this Way Comes," which, like the thread title, is another Shakespearean reference. In the blog, he spoke of many things that are headed our way, all of them mind-blowing and top secret. I've mentioned him a lot in the past, and I repsect and trust him (I have his friend code and Mii)!

Here's his blog. You'll have to scroll down to find the entry:

*Note: The blog header is a little explicit, but it was a practical joke... and uh... yeah.

The recent announcment of Mario and Sonic at the Olympics was one of the "wicked" things heading this way. Matt promises much more:

We really need to see how it will control. I mean how can Mario win at the 100 meter dash?
