I find their words so shallow when they haven't even committed to making a game yet.
It's like "This system is so awesome but I'm still not developing anything for it, not even a port"

Jony Ive is like Molyneux except he actually backs up what he says. Don't think Nintendo has anyone like that who can speak elegantly on a product.
werdd, it's an annoying façade that doesn't please anyone.

I feel like the Wii U has been open to developers long enough that there won't be any of those developer videos. It will look silly to show a ton of 3rd party games that are actually in development only to follow that with developers talking about the possibilities of the console. It made sense last E3 with how early things were, it won't make sense this E3.
I think that would be enough time for everyone to cool down a bit, but then again, maybe not. Anyway, Capcom's Captivate event is usually held in either April or May. We may get lucky and hear about some early Wii U game announcements like a port of RE 6 or something.
I'd like to know when the new fiscal year is beginning. I have a feeling that Nintendo will make a spring conference around the new fiscal year to bring some Wii U infos. I really don't think Nintendo will gave all the infos at E3. The big bombs are at E3 but maybe some details about Nintendo Network.

They'll have their investor's meeting sometime next month, and perhaps another ND around then.
I'm pretty much doing that, but in a more lucrative manner.. I've signed-up for so much overtime at work that I don't always have time to think about how much I want the U.
(and OP suggestion for the new thread: a schedule of events between now and E3?)

If only E3 2011 would have gone like that...
It was pretty close, but this E3 will be closer.
I pretty much am. From now until April 20th, I have non stop midterms and exams. Shit is going to get crazy.
I'll take care of this one.
No I mean, I want Chris Tucker to introduce the thing. In a rap, with Reggie.

Could it be a website, like Zelda Universe?
I'll take care of this one.
So.. there are no investors' meetings, Nintendo Direct occurrences, etc?

Part of me thinks the acquisition of Monolith may have been to bolster their in house expertise for something like that. They've already helped on Zelda, and Xenoblade is ridiculous in scope... they have the know how to make a home console Pokemon work. Having said that, its kind of THE handheld thing, and its Game Freak's baby...

Nothing announced, but an Investors meeting is definitely happening next month.
Oh God, this gif again.
I see furniture.
No, it's a new file system.

If the Wii U launches with AC3 it'll automatically be the best console launch ever.

which is probably the most likely time we'll get SOMETHING
You'll most certainly be seeing that gif a lot as we continue onwards toward E3, with it showing up with more frequency the closer we get.

On plus side Nintendo will probably have another big meeting in April for the Fiscal year ending march 31st. Could see that actually being the point they start to talk heavier on the Wii U as they have to say last year sucked but here is whats gonna make things suck less

June???
E3 was pushed back a few months.
Of course I'm joking but that might mess with some nerves.

Nah, the build up is half the fun. In May we will hear some rumblings/leaks and (hopefully) get a look at a third party game (Red Steel-style).
Leaks? Impossible with all those ninjas.
Nintendo is pretty much the best company in the industry at hiding information. We won't learn anything about Wii U until it is said by Nintendo.
Time zone differences ass-raped you too? xD
I recall sitting in bed every year with my laptop burning my chest staring at a glowing screen (as I am now lol) as I wait until it's all over around 5am UK time. This tradition has been going on since 2004?

What E3 did Nintendo first livestream their press conference? Pretty sure I never missed one.
Haha, me too. Except I'm down here in AU.

meanwhile at nintendo
I'm not sure? Maybe 2003? I remember my mother telling me to keep it down when Twilight Princess was first shown.
I think many a Nintendo a fan is wide eyed at that point every year. I wonder what the collected viewing ratings are for all the main hosted streams? If the Nintendo Direct got more than 50k I can imagine e3 getting at least 200/300k live viewers? More?
meanwhile at nintendo
Oh... God.
