IGNs Nintendo Editor, Rich George has been teasing some impending Wii U news, and then kind of retracts what he said, what now?

I’m not quite sure what to make of this. This guy usually tweets about big news coming which then turns out to be something really insignificant…

I know it’s a little quiet on the Nintendo front but… it’s not. There’s a lot coming up. Starting Thursday. Also – I think Wii U finally has its ‘must have’ game. It ought to be the game that sells systems, but we’ll see. More soon. - Rich George, IGN

A short while later he then tweeted…

Oh for f#$@’s sake, I didn’t say news. And I didn’t say a game is being announced.

Hmm, really Rich? There isn’t any news or announcements, why say “I know it’s a little quiet on the Nintendo front but… it’s not. There’s a lot coming up.” and then follow it up withI think Wii U finally has its ‘must have’ game. It ought to be the game that sells systems, but we’ll see. More soon.”

He specifically mentions Nintendo material coming soon, and it would be safe to assume news as that’s what his job relates to. He then references a must-have game we don’t know about, but then says no new game is getting announced. Thats right, games get made for platforms, but never announced/released.

What are they smoking in San Francisco?

I can't blame Rich to try to make some buzz about the Wii U. I mean after quite an impressive reval in September, Nintendo has been quiet to say the least. the console is coming out in 3 weeks and i don't see Reggie or Nintendo execs on all channels or videogames sites to sell their new products ? Weird...
