Notable Events
At the 1995 Shoshinkai show, games in two of Nintendo's most familiar series were unveiled to the public, along with a short test of the Nintendo 64 console; Zelda 64, the working title for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Super Mario 64. Super Mario 64 was near finished and was soon due for release. Yet Zelda 64, as it was known would not see release for another three years, due to delays of both in-game development and hardware (delays with the Nintendo 64DD).
During the 2000 Space World, a compilation trailer of Nintendo licenses running on GameCube hardware excited many fans. Some games revealed then were Luigi's Mansion, Metroid Prime, Meowth's Party, Super Mario 128, Kameo: Elements of Power, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (video game), Batman: Vengeance and The Legend of Zelda 128.
The last Space World occurred in 2001, featuring the then recently released Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance. A short clip of Super Mario Sunshine was shown in early form.
Some speculated another Space World would be held in 2005 for the formal unveilling of Nintendo's next console, Revolution (the development name for the Wii). This speculation was incorrect as Nintendo chose to fully reveal the details of the Wii at E3 2006. However, they did hold an event called Nintendo World 2006 that showcased the Wii and Nintendo DS.
Nintendo later held an event in Tokyo from 8th-10 January 2011 called "Nintendo World 2011." The company gave the specific details on the Japanese launch of the Nintendo 3DS at this exhibition.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or events:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Reporters are not paid to operate in retrospect. Because when news begins to solidify into current events and finally harden into history, it is the stories we didn’t write, the questions we didn’t ask that prove far, far more damaging than the ones we did.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
