Nintendo Announces Media Summit

Today Nintendo has announced it will be holding a Q1 Media Summit event on February 24 in San Francisco.

"Please join us for a full day of presentations, demos and hands-on gameplay," Nintendo said in an invite to select members of the press.

With Nintendo set to release all three of its major franchises this year, the company has much to talk about at this event. Super Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid: Other M, and the new Legend of Zelda: Wii title are currently all well into development.

Just what Nintendo plans to unveil at the February 24 Media Summit remains to be seen. With GDC in March, and the Electronic Entertainment Expo in June, Nintendo will have to spread out announcements in order to maintain interest in its key franchises.

Nintendo's Media Summit announcement comes just one week after an employee at a major international publisher said Nintendo plans to announce a new platform at next month's GDC conference and that some developers have already begun work on it.
