Nintendo, in a press release issued this morning, has forecasted “an extraordinary celestial event” for Thursday morning, September 18th. Nintendo is playing this one pretty close to the chest — they won’t confirm what the event will involve beyond an unnamed “luminous entity,” so stargazers at Kirby Middle School, Kirby Historical Mill, Kirby Park, and Kirby Gate Shopping Center will just have to hold their breath and see what the news is! Our money’s on Kid Icarus. We’ve got a good feeling about this one.
The full press release, full of subtle clues, mysterious hints, and dates/times/locations, is after the break.
