Traditional fan base to be honored with new games.
by Martin Robinson, IGN UK

UK, June 17, 2008 - Nintendo could be unveiling several games for the
Wii that will appear to its core fan base at this year's E3, according
to comments from a company spokesperson.

Marc Franklin, director of public relations at Nintendo, told GamePro
"…we will be announcing several new titles that core gamers will be
interested in around the time of E3."

Sure to whip the flames of internet speculation into a veritable
inferno, there are no precise details on what the titles may be,
though a return to a classic franchise could possibly take the shape
of the much rumoured Kid Icarus retread or a truly bespoke new Zelda
adventure for the Wii - but don't shoot us if it's neither.

Franklin alluded to the console's fan base, telling GamePro that "The
clear majority of people waiting in line outside retailers on Sunday
mornings to buy their Wii consoles are core gamers."

The recent release of Okami for the Wii, as well as the unveiling of
the Frank Miller tinged Mad World from Sega and Platinum Games also
suggest a shift in publisher's attitudes to the system, with Franklin
noting that "They realize that Wii is the current platform of choice
in this generation, and their bottom lines depend on appealing to the
largest base."
