Remember the Space World cancellation rumor....

[Space Pirate Roberts]

Well, in the words of Kurt Angle, "It's true, It's damn true."

From Games Are Fun:

No Space World
NEWTECHNIX.com was able to clarify the rumor circulating the web that Nintendo would not be holding its annual Space World (formerly Shoshinkai) this year. Stephan Bole, the Managing Director of Nintendo France, confirmed what most feared; Nintendo will not be going through with SW 2002. No specific reasons were given for the show's cancellation.

Well, I have no idea what NEWTECHNIX is, nor do I know much about the director of Nintendo France, or even if there is a Nintendo France. Still, if this is true, this makes me want to go to TGS even more.
