udivision · Dec 13, 2016

The wait is on.

I mean, it didn't really end but y'know.

VegiHam · Dec 13, 2016

Urgh, 4AM right in the middle of my exams?

... I'll probably be there anyway.

gaiadyne · Dec 13, 2016

30 days of waiting...

Rymuth · Dec 13, 2016

Pretty early-ish in the morning for me but no big deal

Lilalaunebaer · Dec 13, 2016

5 AM. I could watch before going to work. But i wanted to get drunk to watch it. Probably take time off and start the day early lol

NSESN · Dec 13, 2016

Who need sleep

Trevelyon · Dec 13, 2016

Let's go!!

10PM for me. It's nice not having to wake up early in the morning this time for a Nintendo presentation for once.

Hip Hop · Dec 13, 2016

It's almost all over.

Oregano · Dec 13, 2016

4am for me. Good thing I booked that day off!

luffeN · Dec 13, 2016

Woooow what? 5 AM CET? Damn, I was hoping for something like 6 PM, haha.

Broken Joystick · Dec 13, 2016

4AM on my birthday.

Nice.

KingSnake · Dec 13, 2016

5 AM? That's worse than I thought. Ugh.

I will wake up, what can I do?

Frostman · Dec 13, 2016

Could they have chosen a worse time for Europeans.

01DragonFly · Dec 13, 2016

cant wait, I usually go to sleep late so pretty exited

Persona7 · Dec 13, 2016

Nice. Nintendo always has events at like 7AM and I miss them.

Huddy · Dec 13, 2016

4am! I guess I'll have to switch my alarm on.

Zalman · Dec 13, 2016

I was actually expecting worse for Europe (since we knew it would be on the 12th in NA and 13th in Europe/Japan). I can live with 5 AM.

We're almost there...

CengizMan · Dec 13, 2016

5 AM. Great.

ChazGW7 · Dec 13, 2016

What a ridiculous time to pick Nintendo, what the hell.

Banjotanooki · Dec 13, 2016

11AM for me here in Japan, while I'm working.

AppleSautts · Dec 13, 2016

I get off at work 11 so this is perfect for me

I was worried I was gonna miss it

DrWong · Dec 13, 2016

Ah ah! Basically no one will watch live in Eu.

It's a global event. Not sure there's a way to make it convenient for everyone.

It's an event mainly for Japan. Don't worry, I'm sure NoE and NoA will repackage the information in YouTube videos and social media posts.

Xieldos · Dec 13, 2016

Bad for Europe, but reasonable for everyone else. There isn't really a time they could pick that suited everyone.

I'll be up at 4am, I know I will be ...

zeromcd73 · Dec 13, 2016

CUM RIGHT IN MY EYES

That's what you get when you need to pick a time that fits their most important markets.

This is screwing the whole Europe.

FantasticMrFoxdie · Dec 13, 2016

ITS HAPPENING

But aren't E3 times bad for Japan, where it will be held?

THEaaron · Dec 13, 2016

Start preorders. I want it Day 1.

Nintendo's E3 streams air at 1 AM in Japan.

Like I said, it's not really possible to make something like this convenient for everyone.

KingSnake said:
They sure managed better times with Nintendo Directs in the past. This is not because is a global event, but because is a Japanese event (streamed globally).

Many Directs air incredibly early on the West Coast of the US.

Again, it's not possible. Though it is true in this case that Japan was a priority.

KingSnake said:
That's because it's an American event first and foremost.

I'm not disagreeing. The point is, if you're creating an event that streams in Nintendo's three major markets, at least one of them is going to get the short end of the stick. This cannot be helped.

5 am in Spain...can deal with it

correojon · Dec 13, 2016

5AM...cool, I´ll wake up to see the reactions on GAF and watch the event on YT on my way to work.

Why not swallow everything?

If you're in East Asia, that's as early as 12 midnight and as late as 2AM. So not really.

Flowmoney · Dec 13, 2016

Preordering the thing might end up awful with a night announcement. At least in daytime people are at work or wouldn't instantly be at places waiting for the store to open.

Tenki · Dec 13, 2016

5am lol I guess that day I ain't going to work.

DMONKUMA · Dec 13, 2016

Hmmm final class on that day ends around 5pm and I have no class the day after. Pretty good I'd say for me.

It's 8pm for me.

Jonneh3003 · Dec 13, 2016

4am :/ I'll have to watch it when I wake up

KHlover · Dec 13, 2016

5am...that means I can watch up to 3 hours worth of conference before I head to work. In turn I have to work two hours longer since I come in later. Eh, not the best time but I'll manage.

Thank god I have flexible working times and can come anytime between 0645 and 0900.

E-phonk · Dec 13, 2016

5 in the morning, it's doable

moozoom · Dec 13, 2016

I really want new Switch info, but no way I'm up at 5am... will watch later during breakfast. I can do late night but not early morning.

Don't answer before my post if the thread is going forward. Unless you want me to miss the answer.

Again, this has nothing to do with West Coast. This has all to do with the event being organised in Japan and has to have the perfect hours for Japan.
