What have been the average time of the Nintendo Direct broadcasts? The last broadcast, excluding the special ones like for Brain Training, was around 40-45 minutes.

Anyway, I am quite surprised that Nintendo will have a second broadcast for the Japanese market hours after the first one on 12 a.m. PDT. The fact that there will be a second broadcast shows that Nintendo may be taking the Wii U really seriously unlike previous events (e.g. E3 2012).

Well they had three different broadcasts at E3... but it seems more likely they'll have enough info to spread across them this time.

[01DragonFly]

[GSR]

<3 you too Bolt

There's more than one conference, we'll make it a road trip.

 

[Vibed]

Going to have to sleep some, but I sure hope Nintendo makes it worth getting up for. Even if it's just the console and not games yet, going into some serious depth with the OS would make it for me.

 

[abstract alien]

Just under 3 hours before the Moon hits...

 

[Mariolee]

Screw it, just gonna go to sleep and wake up early.

 

[Omzz]

Time to replay some DKC2 until the conference.

 

[Suzzopher]

Morning all. Less than three hours. CHOO CHOO!!

 

[WiiRevolution1]

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.

This is only for Japan right? They won't reveal the price and release date for NA until the American conference right?

Feels bad, I am gonna watch the Japan conference and get spoiled to the NA conferemce. Feels real bad...why did Nintendo do that? Grrr...I could just avoid the JP conference...except that I can't.

*sigh* I guess I'll see more of the OS atleast. Hope theres some suprise game announcements at NA conference since the OS stuff will be spoiled in this JP confernce...

 

[sazzy]

Morning all. Less than three hours. CHOO CHOO!!

all aboard the disappoint-a-thon train!

kidding don't hate me

 

[GDGF]

Makin' coffee at 23:30, feels like university again!

Hell yeah

 

[ffdgh]

Wow seems like the hype increased 10 fold.......Please your expectations in check or this may possibly kill gaf in a few hours lol.

 

[AlphaTwo00]

This is only for Japan right? They won't reveal the price and release date for NA until the American conference right?

They shouldn't, but I think it might give you a good idea of what the ballpark is (unless they do the same unbundling of Wii Sports with Nintendoland here)

 

[Neiteio]

No thanks, I'll drive.

The cat with the pompadour. XD

 

[Boss Doggie]

[Agent Unknown]

Where yo hype at GAF

My Crow T Robot smiling in a tuxedo politely demands to be in this pic.

 

[HardRojo]

So we can expect release date and pricing announcements from this (these?) Nintendo Direct, I'm gonna be honest here, I don't see myself buying a WiiU in the first 2 years but it's because of this exact reason that I want to watch this and see if Nintendo impresses me, I was very hyped during E3 but we all know how that went so yeah Nintendo, my expectations are low so I hope you do good and don't ruin it like you did at E3.

[Jaded Alyx]

[Boss Doggie]

Nintendo

 

[twdnewh_k]

Chances are low, but I really hope we get some surprise software announcements.

 

[sazzy]

two more hours.

to what?

 

[ffdgh]

Hmm we need bingo cards like e3 for fun.

Spoiler

and disappointment

 

[Ridley327]

Chances are low, but I really hope we get some surprise software announcements.

If any of the conferences is going to have a surprise software announcement, it'll definitely be the Japanese one. It's extremely likely that the US/Euro ones will tout CODBLOPS2 as their big surprise game announcement, which would be surprising if it wasn't for the fact that we've known about it since E3 (maybe even before then?).

 

[cajunator]

Two hours left?
I just woke up from a little nap (I hardly sleep on my time off work) so Im ready to WITNESS.
Honestly thougH I just want a fucking price so I can preorder this thing. Especially since some of my Gamestop friends told me there would very limited supply of the console.

 

[Oersted]

Because many obviously missed this:

Do you know if the unannounced #WiiU launch title you spoke of before is still coming this year or has been delayed?-@GT_NoTR Should be this year. Should find out on Thursday at the press event.

Some interesting Wii U stuff coming up tommorow, not 'Zelda Wii U' like, but still quite big and perhaps even unexpected.

[TyRaNtM]

Hope that they show us more about OS and options.

 

[HardRojo]

Chances are low, but I really hope we get some surprise software announcements.

There's another conference for software later today so you might want to check that one.

 

[Agent Unknown]

sorry nibel ran out of tickets until later today

Hope that they show us more about OS and options.

I want more info on the account system/content transfer.

Like I mentioned, it's almost assuredly CODBLOPS2.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Hey... how much time is left? I drifted away playing 999, I hope it hasn't started D:

 

[ciD_Vain]

Hype!!!

 

[abstract alien]

Like I mentioned, it's almost assuredly CODBLOPS2.

Yeah, this is what I'm expecting just to keep my hype in check. Doesn't interest me at all, but I may pay a little attention to it if it's heavily integrated with Mii-verse.
