Each year, one of the three big console manufacturers gets an opportunity to dazzle Game Developers Conference attendees with a fabulous keynote speech. 2009 is Nintendoās year, with president Satoru Iwata returning to the stage.
Iwata will kick off GDC 09 with an address titled āDiscovering New Development Opportunities,ā scheduled to delight the dev-heavy crowd on Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 9 AM. His previous keynote, delivered at GDC 2006, focused on ādisrupting developmentā and the genesis of Nintendoās Brain Age: Train You Brain In Minutes A Day.

What will Iwata bring this year?
You may remember that Iwata also showed The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for the very first time at GDC in 2006. Could he have another Zelda-related announcement up his sleeve, as industry analysts have predicted? And could it use the āKind Codeā casual-friendly technology Nintendo patented last year? Weāve been promised that the Zelda team is āhard at workā on something new.
Weāll just have to speculate for now what Nintendo will bring while we devise drinking game rules for the number of (laughs) and (chuckles) that weāll hear from Iwata.
