If you remember an interview with Nintendo of America (NoA) president Reggie Fils-Aime that we reported on last July, he gave a cryptic hint about a surprise involving the WiiConnect24 online service of the Nintendo Wii. His words being "But the surprise is coming...the surprise is coming...by the end of September."

It's already well past September - heck, it's almost past October, and we still haven't gotten what this surprise is (if an online Pokemon Farm and a downloadable Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles title wasn't the actual surprise, that is). What gives, Reggie?

Of course, the two aforementioned tidbits - namely the Pokemon Farm and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Young King and the Promised Land - are each surprises of their own right, and we're certainly happy with them. But it seems that they're not the surprises, as NoA Public Relations Manager Eric Walton answered this question in an ambush interview at this year's E for All.

So what was his answer, then? "I can't say, unfortunately." And this with a smile on his face, as reported by the good people over at the Advanced Media Network.

While it's not a confirmation or an outright denial, it does lend itself to the iffy conclusion that whatever surprise Reggie has promised us in September has not yet arrived, and it's still on its way. However, as with all cryptic hints, we'll have to file this one in the rumor section while we're all busy crossing our fingers and hoping for the best. You should, too, as whatever surprise that could make the PR manager of Nintendo of America grin could be big.
