Support NeoGAF

[SolidSnakex]

Yeah I know Ubisoft is confirmed to be showing Wii U stuff Monday, and EA will probably as well- I guess I am wondering if Nintendo is going to let everyone else open the floodgates as well, or still hold a lot back for Tuesday.

I'm sure that they'll hold some surprise third party stuff back until their conference. But I think most people expect stuff like NFS, Madden, Dead Space 3, Splinter Cell etc. to be on the Wii U, so they might as well let those companies get that out the way on their own conference. That'll allow Nintendo to focus on their own games and some potentially bigger third party surprises at their own conference.

 

[Redford]

My body wasn't gonna be ready until Tuesday! Now its tomorrow! My mind is fucking blown!

Nintendo and their ways! Seriously I can't even think right now!

It seems like it'll be about hardware instead of software, which is fine with me if they show the complet, or alot of the OS and online features.


My body wasn't ready for this.

Can you film your reaction for the next NeoGAF news?

agree.

 

[Starphoenix]

So, let me get this straight. We have a Nintendo Direct presentation on Sunday, Nintendo's E3 conference Tuesday morning, Tuesday evening we have the Developers Roundtable (which is being streamed for the first time), and Wednesday we have a software showcase event?! How is this...

At this point, I think the idea of this controller tablet is growing on me. (Well just using it, not the touchscreen itself)

This image will be photoshopped until the end of time.

And I shall be the first to start the crusade.

Something told me not to leave the house this weekend. Looks like my hunch was correct. Thank Nayru! It's here!

Plus Ubisoft and EA events on Monday. We know Ubisoft will be showing Wii U games, and EA probably will as well. So basically 4 days of goodness.

Like I said in the other thread, I'm interested to see what they want to get out of the way before the big show. Interesting timing.

 

[japtor]

So where's Satoru Shibata? Have he and Iwata ever been seen at the same place at the same time?

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

OH they are in LA

Holy mother of fuck, this is the embodiment of hype and they clearly know it!

It would be a dream for them to detail OS stuff in this video. It would save precious time for more games on tuesdayl.

I thought exactly the same thing. It makes a lot of sense.

I think it will be a look at the console and controller and its features, similar to the "Introducing 3DS" video A year or two back. And hopefully a look at the OS.

Edit:

Like this: 3DS Overview

i..must keep hype in check....must keep hype in check.....

oh screw it its been long enough, OMG HYPPPPPPEEEEEE

 

[MDX]

It means they got too many games to show off....

And as Thraktor said in the other thread, this lets Ubisoft and EA show off their Wii U software in Monday without no confusion on the controller or hardware design.

Yeah this is probably true. And that's not the hype talking.

Nintendo of Europe ‏@NintendoEurope

This #NintendoDirect will be about the concept of the #WiiU console. We'll talk more about games for Wii U in Tuesday's #E3 presentation

https://twitter.com/NintendoEurope/status/209015940812255234

Confirmed.


Hour long conference, 2 minutes per game, thats 30 titles.
Man, thats going to be a lot of games.

Your math is questionable but I like where this is going.

The conference will be an hour long sizzle reel with 200 games.

Reggie is so cool he has to have to shades. Check his head and jacket pocket.

Edit: Or are those reading glasses in his pocket?

 

[Roo]

That's what I've been thinking.
They got so much stuff prepared for E3 that their conference is not enough to condense
all the games, announcements and the presentation of the console itself.


I'm keeping my expectations low cuz I don't want to end up disappointed but I really want
a total redesign for the console. At least something that stand out enough from Wii

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Fuck that. 10 minutes of splashing logos on screen and we can hit 400 games.

 

[Redford]

 

[Oddduck]

People think those 3 facebook mystery games get revealed tomorrow.

 

[brochiller]

It doesn't look like Reggie was looking at the camera in that picture. I wonder what he was looking at.

 

[Starphoenix]

Dang man, Nintendo is not going to let Sony or Microsoft even breathe.

 

[shadyspace]

So are there going to be three different shows? Or is it one airing at 3PDT?

 

[SolidSnakex]

Would Nintendo allow a third party game to be their show closer? Something like GTA5? It kind of seems like it would be the prefect way to end of the conference. Especially if they could convince Rockstar to let them show a new trailer. One of the biggest third party games around, and one that has never appeared on a Nintendo console.

I could definitely see a third party game ending their conference. I hope they landed a third party deal big enough to warrant that, unfortunately I kind of doubt a third party game will top whatever first party title they would use to fill that spot instead.

 

[bgassassin]

Nice.

IRC couldn't handle the hype flowing from you?

 

[HylianTom]

Quite possibly; I am very very hyped right now. I could power a few suns at this point!

 

[brochiller]

Just posted on Nintendo's E3 site about the Nintendo Direct.:

"Watch the latest Nintendo Direct as Global President Satoru Iwata
reveals new information about Wii U. "

The wording of this sounds much more promising than that on their Twitter account.

 

[Krev]

Shiggy is holding the bomb for Iwata in that picture.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

I think, if they were to go for an achievement system, they should just stick with Brawls, and call them Challenges.


Lol, didn't realize how long ago that discussion was.

i made sure to post only one hype comment and scream the rest out loud tho .

I think Ace accidentally banned a bunch of people while trying to ban that annoying guy.

Hit me too.

 

[Fabrik]

You should have added a big red button just under their hands

 

[brochiller]

What's the link to the irc chat again guys?

 

[Zeroneo]

Ah, so I'm not the only one. Is anyone unbanned yet?

 

[fse]

Don't let me down Nintendo...

 

[HylianTom]

Not yet.. hmm.. just as things are heating-up, too!
