Move it to the front...trust me.
No. Fuck that shit. Don't you realize you're on an entertainment forum with no statue of limitations? You constantly see LTTP: BB or LTTP: The Wire. Have some respect and common sense.

I clicked it... I have no idea what was going on so hopefully by the time I start watching it, I will have forgotten about it. >:|

Have we ruled out the idea of a name change?
Recall that when the Wii was revealed, they showed off the name change a good two weeks before E3. Could we be seeing something similar here?

I feel so sorry for anyone who had that Breaking Bad moment spoiled
Truly sorry.
Same, because it's so goddamn good.
They didn't change the logo so... probably not.
Fuck man, didn't know so many people hadn't seen it and were waiting to. Now I'm depressed as hell. Seriously sorry.

Well, if they were to reveal a name change ... it would make sense to pretend that the name hasn't changed until the reveal would it not?

wow at the breaking bad spoiler. I remember some other douchebag did that for a show I wasn't caught up with yet an e3 or 2 ago. Seeing massive end season climactic points in a gif advertising 'omg megaton' is bullshit. If I was sitting on a blueray copy of that season and working my way through it I'd be sad.
I can't be bothered staying up another hour for this, I kind of want to see the madness, but I'm soo tired.

They opened the official Facebook page with the name Wii U, there are posters of games seen at E3 that display the Wii U logo.
They are not changing it. It would be stupid at this point.

Haha that was me being a little sarcastic.
But for reals. Think next time. If you have to question posting it, don't.
Thanks, didn't catch that

Don't worry guys, if the spoiler is what I think it was it was monumentally stupid and you should be glad you know about it beforehand.

How can it be a spoiler if it's already aired?

People seem to be expecting a lot from this...
You're dumb.

You're going to have to be more cautious than that to survive around these parts stranger. You could always post it in the Breaking Bad season 4 thread for it to get the lols it deserves.

I had no idea it was this popular. I figured only a few people watched it here. I barely even know what it's about.
MAN, we're so close. I hope we get a look at the OS. I also really want to see if they have done anything to make the Miis look better! Even just higher poly would be nice.

Yeah I'm dumb. This is the internet, if there's some sort of media that has already been aired live or been out a while, you should expect random information about it to be mentioned.
Hell I know a major plot point of FFVII without even knowing who the hell the characters in the game are, the plot, or ever even playing it because it became a meme.
You're not too bright, are you?

see how this works?
I saw prometheus last night, therefore so has everybody.
also apparently the blue ray is released in 2 days for that season, which people wait for.

In an hour and 8 minutes, we can watch a prerecorded show, yay! I wonder if they set that time up just to draw extra attention to it, or if they are editing the video up to the last minute...
Especially for someone who'se a Junior - if you have second thoughts about something, and you're still a Junior, then that's a sign not to do it. Don't forget, as a Junior, penalties are harsher. You don't want a permaban right before E3
With Ustream? Yeah, I tried for one of the last Nintendo Direct, and it worked.

Hope they really show anything at all - that "The broadcast may be cancelled without prior notice." makes me nervous. I don't like to stay up for nothing.
You lucky bastard.

Been away for awhile, so don't know if this has already been posted:
Could you imagine the meltdowns if Nintendo actually did that? :lol

It's been mentioned and I believe it's just standard practice to put that there.
Who isn't a fan of Breaking Bad?
Awesome. This year is the first year in a while I've been super excited to see info from Nintendo. Choo choo!

...and he just had a key story point spoiled for him, since he was following this thread - better watch out!
Second appetizer before the Nintendo Direct
As always, it's rumors, second-hand knowledge, hearsays, so grain of salt.
Wii U dev kits including drive with their "final form" - No redesign for the system ?
As i revealed before, third-parties apparently received the latest Wii U dev kits, which came with separate disc drives. The firsts versions of those dev kits are big boxes that you may have seen for previous systems and generally don't have the final shape of a console as there are no aesthetically requirements, they are intended for developers. The lasts versions may adopt the final look of a platform with some modifications.
It appears other dev kits were sent to studios lately, this time with a disc drive built-in, and a more presentable shape. They are basically the luigi Wii dev kits of the Wii U (the one with the green faceplate and using the retail Wii design). They mostly bring two news:
- No hardware changes between the mass production dev kits (the bland boxes) and this latest version with a drive.
- It seems the case is the same that the Wii U showed at E3 2011.
These points could hint toward 3 scenarios:
1) The Wii U you'll see at E3 2012 will look like the ones at E3 2011. No redesign. In this very same event, there's a possibility that they'll take advantage of the additional months before the launch to modify it.
2) As the Wii "luigi" dev kits were different in colors and maybe small other things than the Wii on shelves, perhaps the E3 2012 Wii U will have another color, minor alterations of the shape, buttons, etc.
3) Or Nintendo designed secretly a new case for the unit available for consumers that they will show at E3 2012, and the Wii U dev kits received lately simply aren't like that. Maybe because of the leaks, they have hidden this final form to foreign studios.
So consider all these scenarios, but the fact that the "final form" dev kits bring, it seems (grain of salt as always) no apparent modifications, could indicate that there won't be a redesigned Wii U, at E3 2012 at least, or just small differences. Or that Big N have kept this redesigned under thick rugs not visible from third-parties.
I hope that they will change the design though, the proportions are strange, the system is too depth. But it could be their stance, the system is "just a box", the core experience, the main interest is the controller + the features, and i'm sure we'll get accustomed to it, even more with a nice color & glossy material. What's your feeling, your wishes, about this ?

So, the stream says this will run 30 mins. I hope they use it effectively.
lol Old timer? That's not an old movie at all, haha. But no, I never seen it.
