Moledina Recommends Nintendo's GDC Keynote
by Rob Galbreath (03/20/06)
Jamil Moledina, director of the Game Developers Conference in San Jose, California, recommended seeing Nintendo's keynote speech this Thursday.
When interviewed by Firing Squad, an online gaming site, Moledina ended the conversation with some insight on the next-generation console companies. "I would strongly recommend attending the two platform keynotes from Sony’s Phil Harrison and Nintendo’s Satoru Iwata," said Moledina. "Trust me!"
Nintendo Co., Ltd President Satoru Iwata will be speaking on behalf of Nintendo at GDC 2006. The keynote, entitled "Disrupting Development", is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. PST and set to run for an hour and a half.
According to the GDC Web site, Iwata "will reveal the backstory of how a string of recent disruptive products from Nintendo—the Nintendo DS, the 'brain-training' games, and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection—surprised the market. He will share his thoughts on the role Nintendo’s video game systems will play in expanding the market and widening the possibilities for developers."
Though no information is promised to be revealed about Nintendo's next console, code-named Nintendo Revolution, several gaming analysts indicated that Nintendo may decide to disclose details before revealing the bulk of information at Electronic Entertainment Exposition, known as E3, this upcoming May. Nintendo representatives promised that nearly all information regarding the Revolution will be unveiled at that time.
Moledina said the Game Developers Conference "started as a gathering of programmers in pioneer developer Chris Crawford’s living room in 1987. The show started with the name 'Computer Game Developers Conference,' and grew in size, changed ownership, moved to different cities, and also grew in scope to cover the entire industry. Today, the GDC is the largest event in the world dedicated to game creation, with over 12,000 attendees last year."
The official GDC 2006 Web site can be found here. Revolution Report's Aaron Canaday will be attending Iwata's keynote address and reporting on site.
