Is he asking what is up the Nintendo followers?

I could stomach SpikeTV but I've been MTV free for the past 9 years and intend to keep it that way. But no cable anyways so unless I go to a buddy's house I'm content to just stream like usual.

And if 512MB really is being allocated to the OS, I darn well better be able to stream any VC game I want to the Upad and watch YouTube and Netflix on it as well.

He is wrong. That man is the producer for the wii u hardware. Its a tech talk.

He is just one of the producers. And he is actually on the software side. Just like Hideki Konno was on the 3DS.

Animal Crossing and various other games.
But why would they announce another....
OMG! ANIMAL CROSSING MMO!

Forget that. Wii Sports. Wii Music. Wii Play. Battle Mii. Chase Mii. His development group is the team responsible for that, alongside his Animal Crossing team.

I'm the only one here excited about New Super Mario Brothers Wii U.

Yeah, it probably won't look too much better but the level design seemed as crazy as ever and I'd love to play it on the controller.

same here, and i can't wait for the pimp my mii-rio feature, your face included in a mii body, with peach hairs on it, online 4 cooperative mode + video calls to mimic the local multiplayer, etc.

Nintendo Press Conference
Developer Round Table
Nintendo E3 Showfloor Video Summary
Nintendo E3 Video Interview with Katsuya Eguchi (some new Wii U game)

Hm, I wonder what it will be. I'd be inclined to guess something casual related or Animal Crossing given what he has been involved with over the last decade, but at the same time it would be weird to hold a separate event for something like that. Then again, Animal Crossing might a be a centerpiece for their new online system.

Also Software Showcase=Showfloor Video Summary?

And Showfloor Video Summary is the Software Showcase, is that it? So no new game announcement in that one, then?

For the awful things G4 committed against Tech TV they should lose more than some E3 conferences, they should lose their broadcasting license.

Anybody remember when G4 used to have commercials during the press conferences, and they went to commercial during the Halo 3 trailer at E3 2007? That was hysterical. You could hear something going on off camera, Adam Sessler saying something to the viewers like "Looks cool, right guys?", then angry, frantic whispers, then commercial. I wish I could find some footage of that.

No you're not.

A new Nintendo console.
Christmas vacation.
A new Mario game.

It feels right. I'm ready.

I love when Nintendo decides to make a point. You just know Reggie is gonna be in full blown Regginator swagger mode.

Iwata flexing his corporate muscle is awesome.

Well there is like the actual conference which will announce more a TON of games. Then the actualy developer round table where more tidbits are usually reveled.

The Eguchi interview and software showcase likely won't be that interesting compared to the first two. One will be a pre-recorded video like last year (konno), and the other will be video montage of the e3 demos most likely.

You're not alone. I LOVED NSMBWii. This has the chance to be just as good, if not better. Not completely getting my hopes up but at the very least the visuals will be better than NSMBWii thanks to HD.

No, I am too. It's my most anticipated game, aside from maybe Smash Bros. Wii U. Heck, it might even be better than that in my opinion in the end. I can't get enough classic 2D Mario.

Oh boy. More hype. Just what I needed.

Does Nintendo believe they have found their next Wii Sports type phenomenon that is going to drive sales of the hardware? I mean, they are getting this guy who is heavily involved in the Wii___ product line of software to explain a new ip so this must be their big Killer App new ip right?


ALso did you silence MAtty B00sh seeing as you are a ninja and all.....

lol thread 6 is coming faster than I thought we will probably be there in 3 hours.

So, he'll be talking all about the Wii U equivalent to Wii Sports, and how they will capture lightning in a bottle again!

I am expecting a portion of the show to be about Wii U - 3DS compatibility games. (New Super Mario Bros, Super Smash Bros., Animal Crossing?)

Would also love to see Stage Debut come back for the Wii U. We have all the pieces.

I think they might believe so. They've made reference to "The Next Wii Sports"-like title, so something tells me they're feeling pretty confident.
 
That was only ever said in the mind of people in this thread.
Nintendo has never confirmed the existence of a NSMBMii that connects to NSMB2.

I'm one of the ones guilty of thinking that up.

It's kind of interesting how this is a speculation thread, but
A) people only expect to hear actual news here
B) people often hear speculation and remember it as news.

:O


Ahhh, doing the final tweaks on the T6 post. Ye gods, I made my images way too big for it, but I'm learning a lot, as this is only my first time making a thread.
hopefully it is not my last

I loved the Wii game for its level design, but the rehashing in presentation needs to stop. They bring it to new platforms and it still looks the same. They could at least change up the settings or something. But then you see NSMB2 which again has poison forest thing, pyramids, etc. with marginal changes in their looks at best. And the NSMB theme is so awful, stop the goddamn ,,ba-ba''s, god...
First time the mainline Marios feel like cash-ins, regardless of gameplay quality (And the DS game wasn't very good, so who knows how the rest ends up). Without some noticable overhaul (and scratch the fucking Miis), level editor on the pad, etc., I rather give my money to Ancel for now.

Yeah, I am replaying the Wii game and it's a really strong game.

I actually had more fun playing NSMBWii than Galaxy. Galaxy is a fantastic series but NSMBWii left more of a mark on me with crazy level designs and inclusion of multiplayer. 4 player 2D Multiplayer kept a permanent smile on my face.

I'm hoping that this time around there will be online multiplayer, with voice chat, so that GAF teams can join up for adventures through the Mario universe. The YouTube videos would be glorious.
