[grimshawish]

Hes going to be in Smash Bros. I suspect. Whatever, it'll be awesome. It HAS to be awesome!

 

[Kouriozan]

Price, Date, some insight in already known games and OS details(hopefully).

Yup, this is what I'm looking forward too.

 

[Gilby]

Shit is getting close. Almost time to drop...

"Iwata, drop the Thwomp!"?

 

[KojiKnight]

So, who isn't in that pic at this point

*raises hand* Curse my ability to keep myself in check and not myself get hyped like E3.

 

[Persona86]

This is not the right hype train! Everyone jump off!

 

[antispin]

Gentlemen, ladies, please refrain from hyping yourselves. They are showing nothing new. Look within you, you know it to be true. The best we can hope for is that they don't disappoint with the price and keep it $250 like they ought to.

 

[KAP151]

Lube is ready for the inevitable AUS/PAL reaming....

Just once I'd like a fair price...

 

[The Return of]

So is this going to be the thread for all the presentation today? If so, a mod should put the links for US/EU in OP.

 

[Akainu]

Can someone at least put a western time in the op?

 

[Theonik]

57 minutes to go.LET'S DO THIS

 

[I Stalk Alone]

Can someone at least put a western time in the op?

why? it starts in less than an hour.

 

[Effect]

I know there will be a live stream for NoA's on nintendo.com but where are the other sources that usually live stream Nintendo's conferences? That isn't an option since I'll be at work when it takes place and that's blocked. Do they have something on twitch? Would GameSpot be streaming it there for example? Any mirrors?

 

[Akainu]

why? it starts in less than an hour.

Then how about one of them fancy timers?

 

[Nickovic]

I want to see the damn operating system, is that too much to ask?

 

[Theonik]

Can someone at least put a western time in the op?

There is a time converter for the JP one on the OP, they are all at the same time.

 

[test_account]

"A 2nd Nintendo Direct? I didnt know about this. Geoff! Theres a 2nd Nintendo Direct!" Hehe =)

Can someone at least put a western time in the op?

There is a link in the OP that shows the time for other regions.

At 1:08 eddie on "ladies screaming for michael jackson"

This should be a gif. A perfect gif for this moment

 

[Akainu]

I see.

Japan will just have games from western third parties? I don't think so.

 

[Nilaul]

Pika? :-(

Same here. If they don't show nothing about the OS but that already seen miiverse footage, I will be very disappointed (unless they suprise everyone with amazing games, which is unlikely)

 

[Jintor]

Charging my hype batteries

 

[IrishNinja]

boothisman.gif

seriously, i thought these tickets were first class, why am i hearing that from over here

 

[Bisnic]

I want to see the damn operating system, is that too much to ask?

I thought the OS was already shown? You know, that Mii Plaza thing where you see a lot of Miis talking with games icons all over the place. That this would be what we would see when we boot the system. Unless i got it wrong.

 

[Hot Coldman]

*raises hand* Curse my ability to keep myself in check and not myself get hyped like E3.

I'm not.

I didn't want to be a botherr~

Pika? :-(

You're all good men

I hope you are wrong.

 

[Tim-E]

I never did belieeeeeeeeeeeeeve in miraclesssssss
but I've been thinkin' it's time to tryyyyyy

 

[Twilight Princess]

I hope we get to see monoliths softs new wiiu project.

 

[Kouriozan]

I hope you are wrong.

Miiverse is supposedly half of the Wii U OS.

 

[EvetS]

Is this thread going to host all regions discussion? Why do they have to stream it all at once!

 

[Majmun]

This is...interesting

Nintendo competing with themselves

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

I hope you are wrong.

He is most possibly not wrong.

 

[Bisnic]

So that one Nintendo doesn't ruin all the surprises for the others i guess.

Maybe you are right, but how will this integrate with the other apps such as netflix and etc.

It is a two screen OS. The tv has the bill board and trending activities while the game pad is he navigator. Screenshots have also suggested you can invert the screens. But aside from that there are things that have been hinted or briefly mentioned we need details on.

- accomplishments
- video chat during in game
- text chat during in game
- online functions
- digital store
- account management
- etc

 

[KojiKnight]

Not really competing with themselves since the information in all of them are likely to be the same but for different regions.

 

[Reclaimer]

Son of a bitch.

I'd love a clean layout for game / app selection, and not a million Miis running around reminding me they exist.

 

[Mpl90]

The presentation is 40 minutes long

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Yeah, but seems with the wiiU menu and the Nintendo land hub nintendo likes messy menus now

 

[Bisnic]

Only 30 mins left, can you feel the hype?

 

[R-User!]

Fixed.

This is true.

 

[KojiKnight]

Only 30 mins left, can you feel the hype?

Nope, thankfully my hype levels are still in check. I'm not going negative nancy like some people, but I'm also keeping things tempered so I don't deflate from possible disappointment.

 

[Reclaimer]

Yeah, but seems with the wiiU menu and the Nintendo land hub nintendo likes messy menus now

Then hopefully I can homebrew the fuck out of its face.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

So which of the three streams am I the most likely to get the most out of?

 

[Seven Force]

This should be a gif. A perfect gif for this moment

Like this?

 

[IrishNinja]

hahaha aw hell nah

did cheesemeister really just drop the nintendo hypetrain 2012 anthem

 

[Vic]

I'm following the NA conference. I'll update the OP for when I'll be free, if a mod didn't do so before I can.

 

[Hero of Legend]

The NA event will be longer (10am - 16pm); I believe there will be an hands-on session after the conference for the press. The Nintendo Direct presentation is probably a pre-TGS kind of thing, won't last more than an hour..

Should've specified; how long is the NA conference.

Class starts at 10:45, and I have to leave around 10:30, so I want to catch at least the bulk of the goods, I might be able to start late if it ends at 10:45/11 AM.
