I just got a Swapnote letter from Shibata which included a nice new stationary. :)

Me too. :)

no more confirmed than when they started using Black Wii Us in the retailer marketing material
that is, it's still very likely
Did EU ever get marketing material? Haven't seen any here in Germany. Naturally I assumed the worst and figured they wouldn't delay the console launch but totally considered Nintendo only launching with one colour.

Any news about a nintendo Japanese direct? I guess this Thursday we can declare the birth of the mega-bomba-tons!

Nitpicking here, but WiiU was confirmed for 2012 release in Europe (along with America, Japan, and Australia) before E3 even started.

Edit: confirmed April 26th of this year at an investor meeting.

Yes, but there was some ,,rumour'' it was supposed to be delayed in EU. (No idea why this apparently caught so many believers)

I think it was more the scepticism as to whether it'd stick to this date.

Huh, I could of swore those rumors were that the WiiU was delayed to December release in Europe (which was stupid to begin with considering the only release date we had was "holiday 2012").

When Nintendo holds off on having a Japan-specific WiiU event this week (I believe they are more likely to hold it close to TGS next week), I'm sure the popular rumor then will be that WiiU is destined for 2013 in Japan!

I'm seriously considering doing a sickie on Thursday, but I've been sick too many times this year for gaming purposes and my boss is getting suspicious. I've done the usual headaches backaches, diarrhea, flu, bitten by a dog etc etc....I think I'll use Chlamydia for my next excuse, though, if the girls at work find out I'm screwed:(

I haven't been keeping up, is this it then? Are we finding out launch details?

No, it's 1 hour of Iwata creating new memes and going over stuff we already knew.

Yes we will get launch details for games, and prices and hopefully new announcements for new games and new companies aboard.

I'm still shocked they will launch the tanks game as a (full price?) retail game. This will tank.

I'm going to be at work for this, but will be able to catch up later in the day hopefully.

The knowledge that we have a 2012 release is enough for me; anything else is just icing on the cake :)

Australian launch details will be confirmed after the show, too.

quick question: when do you think the WiiU will be officially available for preorder in the U.K? Will it be directly after this broadcast?

It's already available to preorder at a few places. All info is placeholder but it will still count as a proper preorder once they finally announce all the details.

I think that people are overhyping this way too much, we already know about the games and what possibly is going to get released at launch and the price and such :/
