Live Report: Nintendo of Europe Gamers Summit 2010
All the news as it happens from 10:30am on Thursday, February 25.
Nintendo's European Gamers Summit 2010 kicks off at 10:30am on Thursday, February 25 and we'll be there with netbook and wireless internet dongle to ensure you get all the breaking news as quickly as Wez or Neon's fingers can bash out some kind of comprehensible string of words.
We've no idea what's in store... well based on earlier summits taking place elsewhere in the world we kind of know we'll be seeing Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M, but everything else is going to be a surprise. We're dead excited to find out what's in store. Chances are the event won't bring the unveiling of the DS2 or the Wii HD, but you never know.
Live updates should begin from around 10:30. If you don't see the page auto-updating then refresh until you get an update and then you'll be set to sit back and watch the breaking news roll-in.
We're in, waiting for the action to start.
