IGN talks with Nintendo of America´s senior director of public relations, Beth Llewelyn, right after Iwata´s conference at the Game Developers Conference yesterday.
IGN: Don´t take this the wrong way because we´re happy. But why unveil Zelda: Phantom Hourglass at GDC and not E3?
Beth Llewelyn: We just thought it´d be fun. We wanted to give you guys a little taste of what you´ll see more of at E3. We thought you´d appreciate it. It´s a game we´re working on and we certainly wanted to start talking about it.
IGN: Right. But it seems to us that Nintendo traditionally holds its big guns until E3. However, you´re already giving us a major Zelda game at GDC. So what does that say about your E3 presence?
Beth: Nothing. We´ll have nothing to show there [laughs].
IGN: Give us a little more than that!
Beth: I think you´re going to be very excited with E3. There´ll be a lot to talk about at E3. Certainly Revolution will have a
big presence there
. We´ll be saying a lot more about that. And DS will have a
huge presence
. I think you´ll be very pleasantly surprised and have a good time.
