Nintendo has begun spreading information to the world’s gaming press, hinting that it will not be showing any online games at this year’s E3, causing widespread uproar throughout the fan community.
However, insiders suggest that this is merely a ruse to grab the headlines at this year’s event.
“If we were to say before the show that Mario Kart and so on will be on show, and online, when the show came the impact would be lost,” one Nintendo insider told us, under terms of strict anonymity. “Common sense says that the wider online strategy will be revealed, and as it’s unexpected, will generate massive interest.”
The countdown to E3 begins in earnest.
