 nintendo world, formerly called nintendo space world, nintendo 64 space world, super famicom space world, famicom space world, and , is a video game trade show hosted by nintendo. first held in 1989, it is typified by the unveiling of new consoles or handhelds. unlike most other video game trade events, nintendo world is not held annually or at any other set interval; nintendo usually makes a decision to hold the show or not by mid-july. it has historically always taken place inside japan, in either nintendo's headquartered city of kyoto, or in tokyo. nintendo power issue #79 of december 1995 explains: "q: what is famicom space world? a: space world is a free show for the public that follows the one day shoshinkai. gamers who wish to attend need only pick up an entry pass at any official nintendo retail location in japan." ==notable events== the 1995 shoshinkai show featured a short test of the nintendo 64 console, along with the public unveiling of games in two of nintendo's most familiar series: 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. the legend of zelda: ocarina of time would not see release for another three years, due to delays of both in-game development and of the nintendo 64dd hardware. the 1997 show featured a very early prototype of pokÃ©mon gold and silver featuring two starting pokemon who don't appear in the final game, and an early chikorita. the game would not be completed until 1999, by which point it would have largely changed. there are no screenshots or videos of this version, but it has been attested to by people who were there. during the space world of 2000, a compilation trailer of nintendo licenses running on gamecube hardware was displayed. some games revealed then were super smash bros. melee, luigi's mansion, metroid prime, meowth's party, mario kart: double dash!!, kameo: elements of power, jimmy neutron: boy genius, batman: vengeance, and the technology demonstrations called super mario 128 and the legend of zelda 128.{{cite web|url= http://www.playerschoicegames.com/nintendogamecube.html|title=player's choice games: ninten
