Yeah a thread about the press conference was posted not too long ago.

This is what they schedule every year. There's plenty of time depending on what they want to show during the actual conference, and there's always a bunch of stuff they'll show outside of it...
Can't believe they didn't show OoT 3D at the conference. It would have killed everyone in the audience.
Isn't Nintendo's Conferences at E3 typically an hour? They usually run a little bit over time though. Unless they plan on other Developers to show off their WiiU games at their conferences like Usual. Since Ubisoft, EA, and a few others typically have their own showcases.
I just hope they continue the trend of NO CHARTS/SALES DATA NUMBERS.

there you gooooo
Zac Gorman is the shiznit. I particularly enjoy his take on zelda...and would love the next installment in the series feel something akin to this:
But maybe that has something to do with being from the pacific northwest

That's Zac Gorman's art.
He's also one of the progenitors of the "What if Sonic ran like an idiot?" pictures
This is....amazing.

Time to update the countdown clock in the OP.
And only an hour huh? I'd like for that to mean no 3ds or Wii talk then.

There will be 3DS talk, of course.
That's craziness.
There will likely even by DS talk.
I'd guess 20 minutes on 3DS & upcoming releases, maybe 10 total minutes on DS/Wii, then the rest on Wii U. Given no price or launch will shared on Wii U, plenty of time to show games & features of the system.
Like all Nintendo E3 conferences, lot of news will come out following the conference through their media site as far as games go.

^ Yeah news after the conference is the most likely reason they can keep it down to an hour.
Maybe they will keep it only to chartz.
Of maybe it will end up running longer than an hour.

Sitting here at home, reflecting now.
It finally feels like we're getting close.
We're talking about the conference time now.
TV networks are finally announcing that they're giving live coverage.
More folks are thinking about their travel arrangements and work schedules.
I'm starting my grocery shopping junk food wish list for that week.
Sooo close..

It'll start late and run until 10 after.
Also, they haven't really done sales charts in a few years, and they certainly won't this year, having missed their figures.
They also probably won't do any long on stage demos like other companies do, so they don't have to spend too long on a single game.
Plus, we'll have at least one round table that night.

I look forward to the 15-20 min CoD presentation during the MS conf. ;-)

Hopefully we get Geoff/Reggie round 2, the real round 2.

On rails sections of shooters are so amazing!
Ugh... I can't believe some people actually enjoy that crap.

Cards like Wii Points (at least it was, not sure how it is today) and PSN money is sold in a normal gaming case. That is why i wondered. I also wonder how the stores will look at it, when there are more profit to be made selling physical copies.
There will be no Wii talk aside from Kirby's Collection.
There will be no DS talk aside from Black 2 and White 2.
There will be no sales talk. At all. We haven't got any of those since 2009, we won't this year.
More or less 20 min 3DS related talk.
More or less 30 min Wii U related talk.
These are my 100%-absolutely-no-way-it-will-be-otherwise predictions.

I most look forward to the day gaming media are reviewing WiiU games... I want to see if they still how that low Nintendo hate they had for Wii as if it was a bastard child

Only the MW3 presentation had some on-rails section. The MW2 and Black Ops presentations did not.

Wasn't BO mostly the copter part?
You can count on it, with lots of comparisons between 360 and PS3 games how the Wii-U graphics aren't good enough to justify the purchase of the new system
C'mon now.. we both know the answer to that.
Game A for the PS720: renders orge asswart hairs flowing along with the wind, changing direction in realtime.
Game B for the Wii U: High-def asswarts, but no realtime asswart hair physics. Thus, an automatic deduction of 2.0 points for all Wii U reviews.
Either that, or something else equally silly. Any excuse..

Yeah, the gaming media just HATES Nintendo games. Who could forget 8.8? I'm still in therapy after that day.
And all those 9/10s for all those Mario, Zelda, Metroid Prime, Smash Bros, and Donkey Kong Country Returns? Dreadful!

Not this time...oh not this time...
-5.0 pts for not having a triple SLI GPU for the Wii-U for every game

Yep, but you control the helicopter yourself
"The pad controls take away from the game. I don't want to be seen padding while I play games. I need both of my hands to hold the pad, so that means I can't even sit while playing!"
Glad your avatar is back.
And you won't find me doing the whole dramatic "woe is me" song and dance. I don't wallow in pity - but I will express disgust.
Har. Har. Har.
That 8.8 was an embarrassment for all sides. I made a point of avoiding the whole affair, and in retrospect, I'm glad I avoided it like the plague.
I don't even think it's the reviews/reviewers. It's the the:
"What Zelda can learn from Interpretive Dance" type headlines that rub people the wrong way. And the "Why Nintendo shoud go third party" and even the "Nintendo Franchise is getting stale," even when the games are given the good scores.
