Nintendo to release 'key property' at Xmas

Gamestop boss kickstarts hype for Q4; Reveals platform holder has already reserved shelf space for major new title

The CEO of US retail giant Gamestop has said that Nintendo has asked him to save shelf space this Christmas – for a major new “key property”.

Dan DeMatteo told CNBC:

"We think there will be a Nintendo key property coming out by the end of the year. They haven't given us any insight, but they have told us to reserve [shelf] space."

Nintendo has previously hinted it may be working on a new Zelda game, whilst some predict a debut on Wii for the Super Mario Bros. franchise.

A Nintendo UK spokesperson offered MCV a no comment when contacted.

"some predict a debut on Wii for the Super Mario Bros. franchise."

Really? Was Super Mario Galaxy not part of that franchise? Or Super Paper Mario?
