Nintendo To Skip Liepzig Games Conference

Looks official, Nintendo will not be showing up at Leipzig GC 2008. And while some will be disappointed by this news remember that third party developers will still be there.
Nintendo never really did much at Liepzig, the only news I can remember from the event was 2 years ago, when they announced Battalion Wars 2 and Super Mario Strikers for the Wii. Other then that this really isn't that big of a loss. It will likely mean that Nintendo just uses E3 and TGS for all of their announcements, rather then spread them out everywhere.
