"Today's events will focus on our new home console experience, the Wii U. However, we decided we should also devote some time to the Nintendo 3DS handheld system.
"The following is a presentation of several games: Paper Mario: Sticker Star; New Super Mario Bros. 2; Castlevania: Mirror of Fate; and Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion. Please enjoy. *bows*"
A special Direct and two conferences? Damn, they are going to destroy competition at E3.
Japan is winning everything as usualWhat the hell is going on.
6hours...
Ah those were good times.
Okay. So 6 hours left... huh... Hell.Yes.
Hopefully we will also get a clue on what the hell Monolith is doing after Xenoblade Chronicles.
Maybe.
Pretty much.
Not expecting much for that second Japanese conference. Probably just gameplay footage from games we already saw at E3. The same gameplay footage the press will be recording at the NYC event.
Holy shit.NCL has announced an additional presentation by Satoru Iwata for Sep. 13th at 11 pm in Japan, covering the 1st and 3rd-party Wii U software lineup.
When does the JP software event start in my time zone? Click this link for worldwide times. (Simultaneous with western events.)

I will be providing live translations here in the OP and on my Twitter feed, @Cheesemeister3k.
Weren't they working on Project X Zone?
Well, on June 24, 2011 they said they were working on a Wii U tittle but also a 3DS one, which we now know is Project X Zone.
I don't quite understand. Will the Japan event offer different content than the NOA event?

What's the difference between Nintendo Direct Wii U Preview and the Wii U Launch Presentation?
People seem happy over the fact that NCL will have two presentations, but I'd be a lot happier if they had done just one.
Those thinking that more presentations = more announcements will not leave satisfied.
The hype rises.

Is there a better hype train then the Nintendo hype train?
I'm glad someone got the reference.
Just pretend that you understand Japanese.So, who is our translator?

Kinda annoyed that they have three presentations at the same time now. I guess the European and (the later) Japanese Directs will just be Streams of the US conference?
First event sans Andriasang. Sad day...
Thanks, Nibel! ROTFL at bgassassin depicted as a God :lol
As he should be.
