Steve Weebie sighting at GDC!

I was at GDC this last week. Looking around I noticed they were setting up I saw a lone Donkey Kong machine. Curious I thought. 

When I returned the next day, low and behold it's Steve Wiebe from the documentary King of Kong playing trying reclaim the Donkey Kong world record.  He was at 850,000 when I checked last.

It's funny because his battle with Billy Mitchell has been upset by a new "King of Kong", Hank Chien who recently broke the world record with a score of 1,050,200.  Ironically, he had never played Donkey Kong until after he was inspired by the documentary.

Rumor: New Nintendo system to be announced?

There is an active rumor floating around that Nintendo is going to announce a new gaming system at the San Francisco Game Developers Conference in mid-March.  I wouldn't expect it to be the Wii 2. The Wii is in too strong of a position.

Nerdphilia prediction: Probably an upgrade to the aging Nintendo DS with internet download support.  Just a guess and you know how rumors are...
