@Cheesemeister

That's a middle-aged woman from the blogosphere. You want @Cheesemeister3k.

 

[StreetsAhead]

No. Each territory obviously needs individual information. They are also all held by each corresponding president. JP/EU are likely to be pre-recorded, while Reggie will be live.

Aye, I think both NCL presentations said they would be pre-recorded.

 

[perfectchaos007]

If E3 was catered for the casuals, I hope this press conference is catered toward us

 

[Blood Diamonds]

So how many hours left?

 

[Verano]

hype-train GAF, inbox me a PM "IF" SSB Wii U is revealed later on tonight as part of their software reveal. As I stated before, Im not gonna be able to ride the hype train that late due to work.
:/

[C.Dark.DN]

[ED Cantu]

I hope that will be the case.
I'm trying to be optimistic here so, my Hype is ready!

 

[StreetsAhead]

So how many hours left?

4 hours, 45 minutes until the first Japanese conference with price, release date and system info.

Great, so much hype. Price and release date is something I'm interested about so I am going to catch that of course.

Thanks.

So, who is our translator?

 

[Medalion]

Not 24 but you get the impending Moon about to crash into the planet feel with eerie music

 

[Busaiku]

First event sans Andriasang. Sad day...

This is so terrible.

 

[Oersted]

all game reveals simultanoesly. they are really hiding something, aren´t they?

 

[CubeHands]

Would be class if Iwata walks on at the start of the presentation wearing a Nintendo-ON helmet

And as the music was so class and it was generally badass given its creation, here it is

Clue!Nintendo-ON-Its-REAL!

"You could say it inspires us"...

 

[whalleywhat]

Is this where they show what Retro's been working on?

 

[shadyspace]

So what's the content of the this 3am stream and what's the content of the stream that'll be concurrent with the US and Euro ones?

 

[imjust1n]

I predict 250 and November 18th if its more the 300. Ill wait.

 

[TDLink]

Is this where they show what Retro's been working on?

No.

Spoiler

That's what the North American event tomorrow morning is for.

 

[zroid]

This is so terrible.

Anoop probably heard in advance that there'd be two Nintendo Directs in one day and just said "fuck this shit".

 

[StreetsAhead]

So what's the content of the this 3am stream and what's the content of the stream that'll be concurrent with the US and Euro ones?

Wii U Launch Presentation, 4PM: Announcement of release date, price, and information about the system itself.

Nintendo Direct Wii U Preview, 11PM: Information relating to 1st and 3rd Party software. Lined up with the European & American (and Australian!) ND/Conferences.

[koolaroo]

Soooooo hyped. I'm betting this will be even better than their E3 confrence.

 

[jerd]

A special Direct and two conferences? Damn, they are going to destroy competition at E3.

10/10

 

[perfectchaos007]

No.

Spoiler

That's what the North American event tomorrow morning is for.

Is it wrong of me to hope they aren't working on Starfox? I know the franchise has it's fans, but with a resource like Retro, I'm hoping they are working on a bigger franchise or a new IP all together

 

[brinstar]

Not 24 but you get the impending Moon about to crash into the planet feel with eerie music

it's time

 

[Oersted]

what are they hiding?

 

[jerd]

I would LOVE to see Retro create an awesome new IP that still has a Nintendo feel. Something that can be turned into a full fledged franchise.

I would hope it isn't Starfox because Retro isn't experienced with that type of action. But I never thought I'd care about a DKC game, so I'm down for whatever.

Staying up til midnight for this thing. Praying new Star Fox!!

They would have to try really hard to wanna fail to not do better

You are going to be disappointed if you are staying up for this first Japanese Direct hoping for game announcements. This one, as far as I can tell, will be hardware, OS, and price/date focused. The software will come at the simultaneous events tomorrow.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

If it's a new IP from them, I could see this happening.

I don't expect an Uncharted or Halo or Gears from them, I expect something that looks very good but is even more interesting than it appears.

 

[DeuceGamer]

I'll second a new IP from Retro.

True. They're crazy if they want to launch a new console on a sour note. They better bring it, but I'm not hyped yet, not again not after e3.

 

[BY2K]

Reggie: When NeoGAF is ashes, you have my permission to be hyped.

 

[Codeblue]

That's a middle-aged woman from the blogosphere. You want @Cheesemeister3k.

You should have just gone with it and seen what happened when everyone starts asking a 50 year old woman to translate a Japanese video game presentation.

 

[vagabondarts]

NeoGAF: When Reggie's tenure is ashes, you have my permission to be hyped.

thats better

 

[Cheesemeister]

I've e-mailed her several times asking to relinquish the inactive username (she now uses a different account), to no response.

 

[hatchx]

So wait, at 3AM bombs will drop?



I probably missed the speculation, but what are we thinking? Will they wait until the 11AM (the three way announcement) for certain things? What do they plan to announce in a couple of hours?


I can only imagine it'll be Japanese support, and not much else.

 

[Pittree]

I am the only one who is more excited about the console OS? I mean, I am already sold on several games...Nintendoland, Pikmin, Zombi U, NSMBU, even FIFA looks nice. I get now how I am going to interact with the games trough the controller but that Miiverse stuff seems like it could be the next big thing. When the 3DS was announced Street Pass didn't catch that much of my attention and now is my favorite feature, this time I am hyped just to know more about those online interactions.

 

[Medalion]

No time for sleep

This time comes only 3 times a week!

 

[kSt]

I'll be here for the meltdowns.

yeah I get hyped for new OSes more than a lot of things. Especially coming from a company that has as little experience in the arena as Nintendo. Who knows what crazy shit they're gonna come up with.

Ah, I see. I think I'll stay up anyway then.

 

[Medalion]

Yeah, I wanna know more about that Miiverse thing... it's definitely very Nintendo

Not the only one. While I would love a Megaton like a GTA V announcement or Retro's new game trailer shown, I am REALLY keen to see how the OS works. Looks, online, miiverse, friends lists, friend "codes" etc.

Yeah, I wanna know more about that Miiverse thing... it's definitely very Nintendo

Yes, very Nintendo looking. Nintendo are behind the times when it comes to online stuff but they have an interesting way of viewing the world so I'm hoping they've really managed to hit the "empathy" target they were aiming for. Basically make a healthy online social infrastructure for a console.
