New Zelda Wii Image Leaked- Act Surprised
So at E3, Miyamoto had a roundtable conference and he talked a bit about the new Zelda Wii. He showed off a piece of art from it and no pictures were allowed. It just so happens the picture was included in a press kit. (Edit for not-fake: It is real, I found it in Nintendo's online press kit using using the leaked password.) Take a wild guess how long it took the internet to get the press kit's password? There are theories already.

Pretty, but I'm holding my enthusiasm until it's confirmed. It's too easy to grab some really good (random) fan art and pass it off as the mysterious secret picture.

press.nintendo.com

Click the E3 2009 banner.

You'll need user and password, here they are:

user: E32009
pass: nintendo

It's on the top right.

Well, I'm surprised that got figured out!

Do you mind if I share this with the Zelda community on LJ?

And also... Could they have used an anymore obvious password? It's like they wanted people to find it. <_<;;;

Maybe they did. It's not like the picture's giving much away. Nice easy way to create buzz and let people think they found something special.

You know, right after I posted my comment I started thinking that and I started to feel silly. Sneaky, sneaky Nintendo.

Sounds like viral marketing to me.

A gaming forum I read was using a different user/pass for the Ninty press site that they'd apparently had from previous years ("does the usual blah/blah still work on there? it does? excellent."). So I don't think they actually really care that much about keeping people out.

This picture definitely wasn't up there until yesterday though, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to hear anything over the fanboy wails of not getting any more info about new Wii Zelda during the presentations.

You nailed it.

I've personally known about the press area for a few years now, having heard about it through my Zelda fansite webmaster friends who used to grab their media from there. I was hoping they'd put it in there eventually for us, and it was nice that they did (there have been times in the past where they haven't, or only put in like half the art we'd want).

If she *is* the master sword... I would totally dig a game that dealt with the origin of the sword.
