Q: Will Nintendo be exhibiting GameCube games at Tokyo Game Show 2005?
A: No. The company has historically chosen not to preview its game software at the Tokyo Game Show and this year is no different. Nintendo has no booth at TGS 2005 and no plans to demo GameCube, DS or Game Boy Advance software there.
Q: Is Nintendo participating at all in the Tokyo Game Show 2005?
A: Yes. Company president Satoru Iwata will make a keynote speech to kick off the show.
Q: When will the keynote speech take place and how long will it last?
A: Iwata's keynote is scheduled to take place in Japan on Friday, September 16 at 11:00 a.m. However, this date is meaningless to Americans because our time zones are so different -- Japan is roughly 16 hours ahead. Readers hoping to catch the news as it happens should tune into IGNcube on Thursday, September 15 at approximately 7:00 p.m.
Iwata's speech will last 50 minutes, according to the Tokyo Game Show.

Q: What is Iwata going to discuss during his keynote?
A: That, obviously, is the big question. There are all sorts of rumors regarding Iwata's speech. What we do know for sure is that he will talk about the industry in general and he will also talk about Nintendo's forthcoming console, Revolution. Nintendo executives near and far have indicated that some big Revolution news is on the way and Iwata's keynote seems the perfect forum for any announcements or unveilings.
Q: Will the Revolution controller come up?
A: Yes.
Q: Will details about the controller be made known?
A: The chances are very good.
Q: Will new Revolution games be announced?
A: Currently unknown, but we don't believe so.
Q: Will video of Revolution games be released to the public?
A: Probably not.
Q: Will IGNcube have a live video stream of the event?
A: No, but we will post the full keynote in video form shortly after it takes place. We will also update live with any breaking news, along with photos, related to the keynote.
