According to the sponsor's page, and Gabe's latest post, it looks like Nintendo may not be a sponsor this year, which would truly be a huge shame. They had, by far, the best booth last year (and also the most populated), and with the Revolution coming out, it'd be a royal disappointment if they don't make any kind of appearance.
So are the sponsors pretty much set in stone; is Nintendo a no show for sure? PAX should pay Nintendo if they must (not seriously, but damn, they were a huge part of last year's show).
I doubt it, especially considering they arnt announcing the launch date and price and stuff until their press conferance just before E3. Id expect them to do like they did with the DS, announce details at E3, launch in november.
Not unless it comes out before August, which seems unlikely, but could happen.
Also, I would think Gabe would remember a sponsor as large as Nintendo, and if I recall correctly, they were one of the first sponsors last year.
it could be something as easy as that he just didnt see the name on the list or diagram (however they have it setup)...if im not mistaken they were a Gold sponsor last year so I'd assume they wouldnt do anything less especially with a console launch in the somewhat-near future...

I do realize it's not the end of the world. :roll:
I was exaggerating. I just wanted to express my opinion that I'd like to see Nintendo at the expo, and perhaps get clarification from Robert, or anyone else involved.
Better to voice my opinion sooner rather than later.
that would suck... I'm not a huge nintendo fan...but I looove my DS. they had some bad ass demos last year..that is dissapointing,but there is still time
How many sponsors were in the Expo room last year anyway? I don't recall a whole lot of them fitting into that room, but perhaps I just wasn't paying attention.

20ish? I know there were 6 big booths in the center with smaller ones along 3.5 of the walls. When I try and think back and remember it all I see is chaos.

I hope they don't show up, seeing as how they suck and their new console will be worse than Vitual Boy.
I'm assuming this is troll bait, because it seems that way. Nothing to see here folks, move along.
Not really, but I don't want to spark an argument. Just stating my honest opinion.
dude, i dont mean this to be a flame, but it is not smart to come onto a thread made by a nintendo lover, to unite nintendo lovers and say "OMFG Nintendo is teh SUXXOR!" i mean really. and in my personal experience:
Well I do mean to flame and I say its idiotic to even have any type of opinion like that (zomg it sux!, etc) on an UNRELEASED product and without trying it.
My point is that nintendo has not made a worthwhile product since 1991.
I have little to no expectation of a good system to come out, but if they do pull it off, then Miyamoto Did something right.
I will most definately like to see what comes of this "remote" controller, but other than that, I have no high hopes.
Sorry for coming off as a dick, I hope this explains it a little better.

Can we get the chemicals in. 'Cause anything's better than this.
Just one thing. What if Nintendo goes the way of Sega? Just make games.
Imagine Zelda on the X-Box. That is something I can get behind.
Also, I mean no offense to people who like Nintendo. Good for you. Stand up for what you like, I respect that.
Love,

I can't imagine Zelda on the Xbox being any better than on the GameCube.
Nintendo has no reason to ever go Sega because they're still making money hand over fist.
I said I am done, please respect that. This thread is about Nintendo having a booth at PAX, not flaming back and forth. I have my opinions, you have yours. I'm not trying to make you think the same as me, and I know I won't thiunk the same as you. So please let's get this back on topic ok?
No Nintendo at PAX? While I'm not to upset, after doing some reading, I would like to try out the new controller, but if they aren't at PAX, I won't be too dissapointed. How bout everyone else?

If you didnt like Nintendo's games for the past 15 years, Why would you all of a sudden like Zelda if it was on Xbox? If youre going to be anti-nintendo, at least be consistant for fuck's sake...

Cuz if it wuz on teh xbocks, Zelda would show dem mad titties and Link wuld get all up in dat shit, for reals.
Err...yeah. I think this thread should be locked where it is right now. Nintendo isn't confirmed yet, but they were the last ones confirmed last year, so there's still time. They SHOULD have a giant booth there, showcasing their new games and the Revolution, but they may be too busy prepping for the Rev launch(like MS was for the 360 last year to bring anything) to do anything. I really doubt it though.
I don't mind either way. I'll get to play what I want at E3.

Why? Because of the anti-Nintendo guys? They're entitled to their opinion, even if it doesn't entirely make sense. Let's let this die naturally.
Oh, and a hint, if you want a topic to stop existing, don't respond to it.
No...because it has run its course and will just be a stupid discussion back and forth consisting of 'omg nintendo sucks' & 'no u'. We got an answer to the question asked and now it's just retarded arguing.

Well, I don't care about it either, but if it's important to the guys arguing, who cares if the topic sticks around? It's not like you have to click on it.

Well, I think it more has to do with the fact that we have a whole 'nother forum around here that is nothing but 'MORE LIKE CELDA', so why not take the conversation there? The only part of this relevant to PAX has been asked and answered.

not to mention in his post he said the ones he listed were ones he remembered form his "glance at the white board"

Hmm, I dunno...

No true gamer automatically dismisses any console as OMG SUX. Especially when said console isn't even available to try out and form an opinion on.

Please to be explaining the logic underlying this conclusion.
I can't imagine Zelda on the Xbox being any better than on the GameCube.
Nintendo has no reason to ever go Sega because they're still making money hand over fist.
