What kind of fruit will Iwata hold this time?

A pineapple, I hope.
And a coconut after that.

[JoeInky]

If he isn't standing on one leg, with a pineapple in one hand and a melon in the other whilst balancing a coconut on his free foot, I'm cancelling my preorder, they're obviously not serious about the console if they can't even be bothered to do such basic things.

No this one

[Chopper]

70 minutes chaps! I'm pretty excited about this one.

[piteru]

well cheesemeister is our nintendo evangelist!
all hail cheesemeister!
looking forward to you tweets as always! ;)

[Nosgoroth]

One (1) hour to go, and I've known about this ND for just three. I love the audacity of these super short notice announcements.

[sorijealut]

No this one

That's neat, thanks.
My random prediction for this direct: They will show a Mii of Iwata, and the man will stare into your souls with his arms held out.

[TriGen]

One hour to go!

[MadeInBeats]

*Playing Halo 4*
*Drops control pad*

THERE'S WII U SYSTEM FEATURES N DIRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Halo whaaaa?*

[EricDiesel]

Please don't screw this up, Nintendo. I want to leave this thing impressed, or at the very least confident. I want to say "wow", Iwata!

[ffdgh]

I'm surprised I actually got up on time. Time to waste an hour.

[sphinx]

how do you say "wow" in japanese??

[ASIS]

how do you say "wow" in japanese??

Sugoooi!!

[StayDead]

how do you say "wow" in japanese??

uwa-!

[Kokonoe]

Guess I won't miss out on this one.

[Robin64]

Let's do this! This is a tremendously important ND as far as I am concerned. Odd it's not worldwide, even.

[Jintor]

wwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I agree, probably the most important ND to me overall. Apart from maybe that pre-E3 ND that showed the new gamepad.

[weird]

there is a shockingly low level of hype for this one.

[sphinx]

there is a shockingly low level of hype for this one.

probably due to the short notice and that America is sleeping right now....

[BY2K]

Let's do this! Can't watch it. :(

[antonz]

there is a shockingly low level of hype for this one.

America is pooped after election night

[Tenck]

Sugoooi!!

Isn't that "amazing"?

[piteru]

anybody in the nd ncl page?
do you have a "video window"?
i only have the logo of nd and the announcement of the event.

[SolarPowered]

there is a shockingly low level of hype for this one.

This is a pretty subdued system launch.

[Zulithe]

As the proud owner of a Wii U Deluxe pre-order... this is the moment I have been waiting for :D :D Can't wait... just 30 more minutes.

[weird]

probably due to the short notice and that America is sleeping right now....

jeez! sleep is for babies and drunk people.

and the short notice is standart. but yeah, they really should announce these a tad bit earlier. a day or two.

[Cheesemeister]

Hit F5 in 10-15 min.

[ASIS]

Isn't that "amazing"?

Well yeah, but that's what I hear when the Japanese are amazed, I'm not aware of any other word. (I'm not Japanese and I don't speak Japanese, this is just personal effort on my part so I may very well be wrong :P).

[lazybones18]

I got time to kill

Let's see what Miiverse has to offer

[StayDead]

there is a shockingly low level of hype for this one.

We need the Bravely Default hype train attack in here.

[piteru]

Hit F5 in 10-15 min.

Wow

[Kokonoe]

Isn't that "amazing"?

Whenever I watch sub, I noticed sugoi can mean either "Wow!", "Amazing", or "Cool!".

[cajunator]

Shit I still have an hour and a half of work.
Any link that works with mobile?

[Smiles and Cries]

I'll go to sleep after this

[tsab]

So in 27minutes we'd know if Nintendo is serious about online?

[cajunator]

Nevermind link works.
Love you Android <3

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

So in 27minutes we'd know if Nintendo is serious about online?

You're going to get plenty of air.

[SolarPowered]

Ugh I'm gonna be pissed if they go all out on the online details and it proves to be amazing a week before launch.

So pissed

[BY2K]

Gimme dem accomplisments, Nintendo!

I'd rather they didnt and kept it game based like Smash Bros.

Achievements are such a bad way of developers skimping on content (since people go farm them instead of complaining about a lack of content).

[Kenka]

This is the real thing and its announcements is so sudden; it almost feels unreal. Scalpers will either rub their hands in a few minutes or have their head hung in despair.

I agree, and I'm pretty sure that will be the case.
