The GDC is the Gamer Developers Conference and will be at San Francisco for 2010. The dates are the 9^th to the 13^th of March and it’s going to be at the Moscone Center.  VideoGamer.com has been contacted by a “source” saying the they “Just heard a rumour that you may be interested in: Nintendo are going to announce a new platform as GDC. Some devs have already started work on it.” There contact could not tell them anymore and also did not know if it was handheld, home console or something else.

Let’s break this down it to some pieces to see if it could be true.

- Nintendo were “boo-ed” by the developers when they released to the public the news of the Wii Motion Plus because they had not let the game developers know of the product before hand and they were unable to use its technology.
- All the top boys at Nintendo have been talking a lot recently about the next version of the Wii and what it will or will not contain.
- As long as the new Wii has some backwards compatibility it’s not going to upset customers by bringing out a new version to soon on top of the older one, as the Wii was launched in 2006. Nintendo almost always puts backwards compatibility with their new consoles.
- It can’t be another version of the DS, and would Nintendo want to control three different types of console with “something else”. You actually never know with Nintendo.
