LOL... I'm hoping GameplayWhore has one of those concise summaries of the last 50 pages handy, because it would take me forever to catch up and I would probably get frustrated reading it lol

If anyone who has a webcam wants to film their reactions to the conference live (using YouTube or similar) I will happily cut together a GAF reel of reactions. I imagine most of you will be too shy though... or chicken...
C'mon GAF, nobody calls you chicken!

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Has Metroid Prime 4 leaked yet?
I think he posted one within the last 5 pages actually.
That's just cruel.
Wait...wait what?
I heard it was cancelled.
Mind if I use the screenshot you quoted?
i think brawl was my favorite release for any game ever, how sakurai did that website with one update per day, and we all stayed up like half the damn night to see what it was. awesome times lol
Didn't you hear?
Gorgeous.

I hope we get a game that looks like halo 4 bullshots. Really, that'd be hella sweet.

I initially read this as "[the conference thread] is giving me a massive nostalgia" -- and I actually kind of like the idea of using the word nostalgia as a (bizarre and non-sensical) euphemism for erection.
Haloroid = confirmed?

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Oh man.. I get a raging nostalgia whenever I see Miyamoto with that sword and shield. You could chip a tooth on this nostalgia!
WiiU will sell only 35% as much as Wii (which had the most disappointing specs ever) because they think it'll have disappointing specs? Do these analysts all try hard to be morons?

No way, streaming the Nintendo E3 '06 Conference was the best thing I ever used an extended lunch break for. It was nonstop win, exciting and fun all around.

are we talking about Metroid or Zelda in this cycle of non-news?
this week is going to move so so cannot wait until Friday
I hope we get an official day and time for Nintendo's E3 by Friday

I believe the presentation should be posted on Thursday even, with a little luck. The exact official time I don't know, but Bloomberg Businessweek has it listed as following:
Source: http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/earnings/earnings.asp?ticker=NTDOY:US
This converts to 05:00 PM JST on the 26th of April. The earnings release should anyway be readily available.

I wonder what would happen to Matt if Apple launched a Console this coming gen...
Is he still at Apple?

If the Wii U can manage to service every type of gamer* without a tremendous lapse in any important genre, then we will get a shift back to a much more forgiving "gamer press". I think that a lot of Nerdtendos** around here will be really happy to be able to listen to actually excited weekly podcasts about Nintendo systems again.
* Reminder: Game genres are more than just "casual" and "hardcore". I think many people have forgotten that.
** I like making up names that are stupider than "Nintendork" and "N-thing"

there's that guy on twitter that did the live tweeting last time though right? I assume he'll do it again?
I think so. Isn't he the content/marketing manager for the App Store?

I ain't staying up for that. I will wake up to eighty new pages of "HOLY SHIT NINTENDO POSTED LOSSES FOR YEAR, UNIVERSE DOOMED!!!!!" and "Oh wow, digging that new 'Mario Everywhere' feature that fuses Nintendo Network with AR."
…somebody else will have to make a "#xxxxx: Something happens" series while I am away in dreamland.
edit: So, Gamling-GAF, what's the over/under on this thread actually hitting 20k in the wake of the investor conference?
See? This is where my skepticism begins. We'll get the rare full effort, but beyond that I'm not expecting great things.
I think it all depends on how the platform does in Japan. If the weaker Wii U dominates and the PS4 is not that far ahead of it graphically, then most Japanese developers opt for the power level that is relevant in their country and set the bar low. Or as you put it, adopt sustainable business practices.
2010 was the best E3 in recent memory, in terms of Nintendo's showing. We knew Skyward Sword would be shown, so that was exciting (even if the actual game was not so much). But what really pegged my meter days before the show was the leak that Retro Studios was making a Donkey Kong title. That said DK title turned out to be a Country revival utterly blew my mind as the conference went down. Epic Yarn was another swell reveal, but it was all out-done by the 3DS, starting with the amazing revelation Kid Icarus was coming back, under the guiding hand of Sakurai himself. And this was followed by a rat-a-tat-tat string of reveals that had me in hype mode for months: Ocarina of Time 3D, Resident Evil Revelations, MGS3D: Snake Eater, Pilotwings Resort, Star Fox 64 3D, etc. Simply amazing.
This year's E3 looks equally promising where Nintendo is concerned. Nintendo has confirmed that PIKMIN 3 and New Super Mario Bros. WiiU will be at the show. That's at least two WiiU titles right there, and I'm sure there will be more. Will Retro Studios' new game be shown? What about NST? Good Feel? Monster Games? Silicon Knights? The other EAD groups? So much to see, and then there's 3DS, which will surely have new news on Animal Crossing, Paper Mario, Luigi's Mansion, NSMB2 and more. The most exciting prospect is possibly seeing some franchises revived, much like Kid Icarus, DKC and Pilotwings were at E3 2010. We know Pikmin is coming back, and if that were it, that would still be enough to make my day as a gamer. But it's fun to think that maybe, just maybe, we'll see some other franchises come back as well. Wave Race? F-Zero?
Little more than six weeks now. This is the point at which the journey is most fun.

Maybe you should broadcast it during Sony's event...
While this one is a gem too, I'm looking for the post conference presser that led to the news in this thread.
True. I think Japan is Nintendo's true third-party wquestion mark for this upcoming generation, as I think western developers have their minds largely made-up. The best case scenario would have Nintendo getting much more support from developers at home.

No, we need to watch the Sony conference. I predict that it will be unexpectedly, shockingly good or very nearly Konami good (there's a 1:400 spread there).
