I'm hyped, but I'm lowering my expectations to some release info and a few new trailers. No surprises.

Why not just review the game for the system that it's currently announced for? Could it be ported elsewhere? Sure. But as of now (and likely as of Legends release) it's a Wii U-only title and it should be reviewed as such. Those same reviewers can create separate articles if they want to talk about the possibility of ports happening for certain games.
I agree that it isnt necessary to mention it, but as long as it is simply just mentioned as one small tidbit at the end of the review, and also make clear that it isnt confirmed information, i dont see the problem with it. Doing this shouldnt take anything away from the game.

So, question.

Would the Wii U be capable of 1080p Batman/ME3/AC3 etc?

Nope. Developer Straight Right (the one handling ME3 port) said the game won't run in 1080p. Naturally, we're going to assume Batman and pretty much every other major AAA title will run at 720p.

The Wii U version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will receive a proper introduction shortly.

There is news circulating on Japanese blogs that Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada accidentally revealed during today’s Bandai Namco Live TV show that the game will be making an appearance during Nintendo’s Wii U presentation tomorrow. It isn’t entirely clear if he was referring to the Japanese event, North American conference, or both.

In any case, look forward to an update tomorrow!

ZombiU:

GamePad used as a barricade (new)

“We tried to put as many GamePad features in the game so there are plenty of them. One of which we haven’t discussed before is that you will be able to barricade yourself. You will find planks in the environment and you can lift your GamePad in front of the door and tap the screen to nail the planks.

“I can assure you that doing this knowing that there are three or four zombies coming behind the door provides a lot of stress. Knowing that if you don’t do it right they will blow the door and come at your and bite you and kill you, it turns it into something very stressful in the context of a survival horror.”

GAF: Damn it Nintendo why haven't you shown us anything outside of the launch window!

Nintendo: Haven't we? ;)

Seems like a mistake at any rate. The only GBA Dr. Mario was a port of the NES title.

I wouldn't really consider a big GBA section with logo and everything on the official Nintendo site a mistake, though. We know it's gonna happen sooner or later, they didn't do the ambassador GBA emulation just to be nice to us.

Nintendo, no fooling around this time. Give us confirmation of black Wii U tomorrow. You can't tease us up to this point with two launch colors and then take it away, that's not right. We know where you live.

I had a dream I had an awesome dream
People in the park playing games in the dark
And what they played was Diablo 3 U
And from behind of walls of doubt a voice was crying out

Nintendo's twitter said we'd be able to stream this on a mobile device. I assume that just means on their website?

It'd also be nice if there were a way to stream this on a TV.

Welp, there goes my productivity at work from 10am 'til whenever the presentation ends. It's going to be like E3 all over again, except this time with a pay-off.

There will be. After the Wii U launch you'll even be able to watch it on your GamePad wohooo! *nosedivesontothefloorfornoreason*

Just been checking out what Arkam said about the specs thread. He's had a bit of a turn around from 'meh' to "can't wait to see what this little beast can do." Ummm. Also good to know that DX10.1/ SM 4.0 quotes were only baselines at this time.

So, Go Nintendo then?

You can say it without being banned. Watch:

Go Nintendo x10

You can even say it without the space if you are blessed by Iwata himself: Go​Nintendo*

*Please don't ban me I'm only playing around. I wouldn't dare link to that site anywho.
 
Can't wait now. I hope they get straight to the point with release details etc., and leave plenty of time for videos of upcoming games/announcements.

You guys shouldn't hype it. It will be a rehash of E3 info, take 3. Not for us core enthusiasts but for the moms and dads.

Where's the fun in anything if you don't hype it?

Maybe for people who can't handle their hype not being met, but I'm sure most of use here are adults and know how to handle that shit.
I think.

I might be wrong but aren't the Nintendo Directs usually on UStream? There's an Android/iOS app for that.

Edit: Yep
Japan: http://www.ustream.tv/user/Nintendo_Direct
Europe: http://www.ustream.tv/NintendoUK (already has the "Wii U Preview" placeholder image)

Can't find NoA's page, though.
 
You realize this event is just going to be like 2 minutes long - they will announce release date, price, what's in the box, and then just list off launch titles and that's it.

It seems that the gamepad is responsible for pitch/yaw/roll of character and balance board for..."dolphin kicking". (yes, that's how the patent calls it)

Old? Was this kind of WiiU gamepad/balance board combo shown before - other than that tramboline game/demo?

Maybe a Nintendo Land "activity"?

What are you talking about? They are going to spend at least 30 minutes showing off how to make a Samuel L Jackson Mii with the touchscreen and why that one new additional hairpiece makes all the difference.

I have an iPad with an Apple TV. This conference is going to look good on the 46" TV :)
