All I'm asking for is one major reveal. One. Just one.

Super Mario Galaxy U.

[Criminal Upper]

Well, here we go!

[Spiffy_1st]

Yep, remember Iwata's words:

Whoa, whoa, whoa. So there's still a chance Nintendo can convince me to buy it at launch.

Give me a reason Nintendo!

[Nibel]

Super Mario Galaxy U.

A new major 3D homeconsole Mario by Tokyo EAD?

[farnham]

my prediction

Wii U will launch Q4 2013

thank you until next e3

[iKhayal18]

Super Mario Galaxy U.

THIS.

Mario Galaxy + HD: Something we wouldn't be ever able to imagine

Iwata: (laughs)

[friskykillface]

FINALLY
price and launch date B^)



lets do thisssssssssssss


smh if they decide to only do white, i need black and white please

[Hoodbury]

Hmm, now to decide if this is something to take a vacation day or not??? I took the e3 day off and regretted it. Probably won't for this and save the days for the actual release.

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Even my monies is reggie!

[Nibel]

smh if they decide to only do white, i need black and white please

I played ZombiU at Gamescom with the black Gamepad, so I think we will see both colors at launch

[MCXC Pioneer]

Imagine Smash Bros at launch. It could happen, launched on GC right after launch. Imagine.

nah, remember how much they hyped brawl character reveals? We won't see Smash until 2014.

[PhoReal]

People, prepared to be excited.

I feel like we'll need a new "Are you excited for the Wii U? Part Deux" after all is said and done.

Even my monies is reggie!

We need a bunch of $20 bills with Reggies face photoshopped on it.

[KennyLinder]

nah, remember how much they hyped brawl character reveals? We won't see Smash until 2014.

2014 is 1,000 years in videogame years :(

[ImNotSteven]

Yes! Price and release date! And hopefully we'll get a quick look at the 2013 early line-up.

[ffdgh]

What about some NSMBU DLC costumes son?

i want peach playable for once......like smb2

[Opus Angelorum]

A new major 3D homeconsole Mario by Tokyo EAD?

It would certainly be one title to sell the sceptics.

[Meelow]

Apple one is on Sep. 12th Yep, remember Iwata's words:

Yep, Nintendo really needs to make the conference super amazing for Wii U to hype everyone!.

I played ZombiU at Gamescom with the black Gamepad, so I think we will see both colors at launch

And considering on Nintendo's official Twitter account, Nintendo is advertising the black Wii U and not the white it makes it even more of a sign the black Wii U will be their for launch.

[piteru]

choo choo the hype train!
lets hope for a nintendo direct so for us europeans to learn also the launch details..!
day 1 as always!

[Sammy Samusu]

NOA? Well, I guess I could use a launch date and price.

[apana]

Metroid Unleashed

Starfox United

Super Mario Universe

Legend of Zelda: Underwear of Doom

[ilnadmy]

How do you KNOW you're not getting a Wii U, hmm? What if they show something so uber awesome that you'd HAVE to get it? Right Gaf?.................Gaf?

Well yes they MIGHT show something that might interest me, but the last Nintendo console I owned was the GameCube and I've had absolutely zero interest in the Wii. So I highly doubt they will be able to win me over with the Wii U.

Plus, PS4/Xbox 720 are coming out next year and will make the Wii U look like a graphical peon.

[Bisnic]

I really hope they show a preview of what's to come in 2013, I wanna see what Nintendo can do with current tech. Pikmin 3 is mostly a Wii game turned into a Wii U one and NSMB Wii U is just NSMB in HD with better backgrounds, that's not enough to show what they can do.

[Chet Rippo]

Dude, guys.
Retro's new game will totally be there man. So excited!

[MCXC Pioneer]

I'm gonna say $250 with no retail pack in, just a digital tech demo pre-installed. It'll launch mid November in NA and Japan, Europe will have to wait.

[Hiltz]

Are you read to get EXCITEbots 2 ?

I'm not going to expect any new big Nintendo titles announcements at the conference. Japanese third-parties, now it your time to announce stuff before TGS. Capcom & Square, that means you.

[PhoReal]

Perfect.

[Jumpman23]

I agree. I do suspect some form of digital give away to incite use of the eShop on the new console. Possibly as a pack-in incentive, just not a physical one.

[chertipros]

FUCK YES. and four days after my birthday! :D i still want that nintendo direct this week though nintendo. Do not dissapoint

[piteru]

All I'm asking for is one major reveal. One. Just one.

the price man.dont let the hype destroy you!


*reggie shows zelda wii u
*me dies from excitment

[Hero]

First-Party Launch $249.99 Console $59.99 Nintendo Land (w/ Wii Motion Plus Controller Bundle) $59.99 New Super Mario Bros. U $59.99 Sing Party (with Microphone) It will absolutely have pack-in software. Just not Nintendo Land or any of the retail games they released trailers for. I hope they sneak in a 4th real first-party game in there (not those co-published licensee games like Ninja Gaiden and Lego City Stories). But Pikmin 3 or Wii Fit U (just so they get that game out of the way).

Any particular reason you think it'll launch at 250 and not 300?

[Hiltz]

$250 seems too low even though Nintendo's clearly trying to keep costs down like by not including a hard drive and I doubt Nintendo Land will be a pack-in.

[1-UP]

Plus, PS4/Xbox 720 are coming out next year and will make the Wii U look like a graphical peon.

In every single Wii U thread... *sigh*

[ElectricBlanketFire]

the price man.dont let the hype destroy you! *reggie shows zelda wii u *me dies from excitment

I'm still not planning on getting one at launch, but I can easily be persuaded.

[Stewox]

yeeeehaaaaa

[Spieler Eins]

Doesn't seem too interesting if the event is coming from NoA. Price and date had to come sooner or later, but it's pretty clear that Reggie is simply going to talk about the same shit as the last two E3s all over again when it comes to games, so it's pretty unnecessary to look forward to that imo.
Iwata needs to announce his typical fall conference, there'd be a last chance of proper announcements before launch.

[apana]

Legend of Zelda: War of the Rupees

[SolarPowered]

Imagine Smash Bros at launch. It could happen, launched on GC right after launch. Imagine.

We only get one smash every half decade or so. Let them do it right.

[MCXC Pioneer]

In every single Wii U thread... *sigh*

Well he has a point. Regardless of what Nintendo says, they are competing for our dollars with MS and Sony. It's fair to compare and contrast if you ask me.

[Coolwhip]

Let's see what Nintendo got. So far their presence in the press has been average to poor with Wii U. Bring it on!

[Always-honest]

There never is that one final surprise...

And yet, i am hoping for it.

[Dragon]

Where will this be held? Can I just go and hand Iwata a piece of paper with the Nintendo DS printing pictures of money?

[Jumpman23]

$250 seems too low even though Nintendo's clearly trying to keep costs down like by not including a hard drive and I doubt Nintendo Land will be a pack-in.

They want to be competitive. Keep in mind, the current consoles manufacturers could very easily slash their prices (which is all but a guarantee at this point) right after Nintendo announces their price. They want to position themselves between the current crops cost and the next generation of release by Sony and MS which are supposedly next year. $249 gives them a price that is reasonable to consumers and can likely still turn a small profit.

I guarantee you this is coinciding with a Japan event. That is where we will see announcements.

[Hiltz]

Yeah, I know that. It's just $250 seems too good to be true.

I agree with this. Nintendo probably learned from the 3DS pricing fiasco as well.

[Bit-Bit]

Just checked all the meters. The Hype Engine is ready for boarding.

[Cosmo Clock 21]

nah, remember how much they hyped brawl character reveals? We won't see Smash until 2014.

Solid Snake trailer came out of goddamn nowhere. Four months is enough time to put out a BS hype trailer, right?

[TheNatural]

[Bisnic]

249$ is the same price as the 3DS was at launch. Surely they won't sell both at the same launch price.
