crap. I won't be able to watch this until later today.

Do we know if all three streams are basically going to be the same or not?

 

[SolarPowered]

You want Street Fighter.

The ten thousandth Street Fighter over F-Zero? *vomits while head spins 360 degrees*

Happy Birthday!

Thanks!

Let's hope Nintendo is thoughtful enough to give me a good present today.

 

[Shard]

I hope the Yoshi Land rumor is true.

 

[Jintor]

Awww yeah, guess I'll grind in FES until this starts up

 

[KillerTravis]

NOA's is 35 minutes of length. 5 more minutes of megatons!

Or just Iwata speaking slowly.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Just woke up and I'm ready for the megatons

Don't you mean negatons?

Megatons with a mix of negativity trying to outweigh the awesome to come?

 

[papercamm]

If that Yoshi thing is true I'll be forced to get a Wii U.

 

[Kerub]

Hold on, which stream am I supposed to watch?

 

[dark_prinny]

- Megaton-ready snacks * check
- Soda * check
- WiiU Gamepad * check.

Lets do this GAF!!!

 

[Hot Coldman]

I would love for Yoshi to come back in a big way. Super Mario Galaxy 2 was excellent, of course, but he needs his own game.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Time to kill time before this starts with predictions!

- Wii U VC coming soon.
- Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101 given pre-E3 release dates.
- Bayonetta 2 to be shown at E3.
- One or more of Mario/Smash Bros/F-Zero/Zelda etc teased for E3 reveal, for release in Q4.
- Game & Wario UK release date announced, download only.

 

[Anth0ny]

I'm up

Still expecting nothing new. Unless you consider virtual console new.

At least 10 minutes of the show will be Iwata slowly guiding us through the process of buying a virtual console game like we're fucking 2 year olds.

 

[Qurupeke]

What if they announce announcements?

 

[Coolwhip]

- Megaton-ready snacks * check
- Soda * check
- WiiU Gamepad * check.

Lets do this GAF!!!

Tissues to wipe tears of sadness, or joy? Or maybe even more.

 

[Ricker]

Hold on, which stream am I supposed to watch?

The one that starts in 45 minutes if you are in N.A. ???...

 

[Pineconn]

Downed two slices of leftover stuffed crust pizza. I'm ready!

 

[shinobi602]

Honestly I'm expecting maybe one new game, and probably not a huge one.

They'll keep the big guns for E3.

 

[Tourmeta]

Exciting! It'd have to be something great to get me to buy a Wii U though, but I'll be hopeful! I can always hope for Pokemon U, right?

 

[RPGamer92]

Honestly I'm expecting maybe one new game, and probably not a huge one.

They'll keep the big guns for E3.

Eh, Nintendo's announced more big stuff in NDs than the last couple of E3s lately.

 

[Herb Alpert]

ho nooooooo my 10 months daughter is already waking up from her nap!!!! I will not be able to watch ND peacefully...

 

[MikeE21286]

Tissues to wipe tears of sadness, or joy? Or maybe even more.

Tissues alright....for joy or sadness

 

[Revven]

Honestly I'm expecting maybe one new game, and probably not a huge one.

They'll keep the big guns for E3.

Oh like they announced Arkham City Armored Edition, right? That was a big gun last year, it's not the same content!

 

[oatmeal]

Virtual Console and a patch to fix speed/hard locking and I'm happy.

 

[Hip Hop]

Believe!

We need the Satoru-GAF gif on this one..

 

[shinobi602]

Oh like they announced Arkham City Armored Edition, right? That was a big gun last year, it's not the same content!

Maybe they literally didn't have anything worthy to show at E3 from their internal development studios?

 

[RPGamer92]

Maybe they literally didn't have anything worthy to show at E3 from their internal development studios?

The only first party games they showed at E3 were Mario, Nintendoland, Pikmin, Lego City Stories, and Sing.

 

[Qurupeke]

I'm waiting for the Euro one, but I'll probably be on gaf too for anything important on the US/JP one..

 

[KillerTravis]

So which stream should I see? NoA or Japan?

 

[Sayah]

I woke up for this. It better be worth it.

 

[Captain Smoker]

The only first party games they showed at E3 were Mario, Nintendoland, Pikmin, Lego City Stories, and Sing.

These aren't "first party", but they're published and funded by Nintendo.

 

[Bisnic]

Part of me wants to hype.

But part of me knows it's going to be disappointing.

Which part should I trust?

 

[Sidewinder]

I want WaveRace and Mario 128!

 

[Chopper]

Virtual Console and a patch to fix speed/hard locking and I'm happy.

Agreed. As long as it synchs with the VC games on my Wii or 3DS. 3 VCs is ridiculous.

 

[thefro]

Retro during a Zelda spin-off could be neat if Nintendo doesn't think it'd work out giving them a mainline title. Something like playing as Ganondorf as a young adult before OoT's events or that rumored Sheik idea they may have had could both be a breath of fresh air for the franchise and a chance to get them to spread their wings more.

I'd rather have them making a new IP that would be the offspring of Perfect Dark & Metroid Prime (along with some other new stuff). Something along those lines is what they need.

Basically I'm looking for brand-new, potential tentpole IPs from Retro & Monolith Soft from their new titles (not that I'm expecting both to be completely revealed in a hour)

 

[hunnies28]

My shift starts at the same time as the ND. I'll be with you guys in spirit

 

[dark_prinny]

Believe!

 

[Ashler]

I'd give up any other Nintendo title announcement for a true sequel to Metroid Prime on the Wii U, made by Retro.

I'm not keeping my hopes up though, such an announcement would probably be best suited for E3.

 

[SolarPowered]

This would be a major mistake. Gamers and press would of course be super excited and euphoric - but Nintendo would not have any surprise or big announcement for E3. And they need some mind-blowing stuff there to make sure that not everyone will just talk about PS720.

My guess for today is that they will mainly show off already announced games and services (Pikmin, TW101, Virtual Console, Google Maps, Panorama View, etc.). They may show one or two games which we don't officially know yet (Yoshi's Land, etc.). I don't think that we will see anything from Monolith, EAD Tokyo or Retro today. Smash Bros. or Animal Crossing would be the best thing which could possibly happen.

This is all people will talk about regardless of what Nintendo has to show. It is the nature of new console reveals.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Wii U sold 16K in Japan last week Iwata, what are you gonna do when the Vita owns U?

 

[Kaldea]

New Yoshi game please. Everything else would be icing.

 

[wrowa]

I hope Cheesemeister is doing live translations even if all the Directs end up being the same. I can't watch any of them, but I'd love to read a live blog sort of thing.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

God damn, I really, really hope for a U Snap Pokemon mention...plz.

 

[Wishmaster92]

I'm in like flynn. Hoping for a metroid wii u announcement, will probably come out disappointed.

 

[Kerub]

Oh, wow. The Wii U japan sales number in the latest media create thread are terrible. This ND needs to have some solid news.

 

[StreetsAhead]

35 mins for Japan too!

 

[javac]

Time to pick up a sandwich from Tesco. Every little helps.

Just don't buy any beef!

 

[Hugstable]

Even if they just announce Yoshi Land and anything Metroid or EAD 3D Mario related, my hype will have been met. I would say Zelda, but I just don't think it's time yet for a new one of those, seeing as we just got Skyward Sword just a bit over a year ago now. I do expect a new 3DS Zelda by E3 though.

 

[FalconSabre]

Really hoping we get some big news since I made a point to get up to watch this. Would be happy with some VC news, system update news, and a new game.

 

[Craig Majaski]

Can't wait! I hope we see what Retro's been working on.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I want Mario 128!

Dude, we got that game. It's called Super Mario Galaxy. It was amazing.
