ALLLLL ABOARDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

 

[Hot Coldman]

They won't.

Don't expect it. The similar Wii event in 2006 detailed date, launch lineup, price, OS and unrevealed Wii Sports games. Expect that with Nintendoland instead of Wii Sports.

I don't expect it. They still should though. With the Wii it was cool because their E3 showing had plenty of info on post-launch window games, but we have none of that for the Wii U, so they'd be smart to tease at least something.

Ah well.

Ruh roh.

 

[Red UFO]

God damn I came to post this!

 

[cloudyy]

So why is the original article down?

Train derailed D:

 

[bud23]

So why is the original article down?

The link not works for me and I couldn´t find this news on the gamereactor.es website. This website (the spanish version)is not very reliable imo,I never read any exclusive here,so I´m not sure if this info is real.

 

[Morokh]

As someone who speak french, i guess you could translate "Hype Train" to "Train de l'excitation" or "Train de l'anticipation".

It's hard to find the perfect word.

Difficult to get better than those two, since there is no exact french word for hype.

So what time is the conference at for a french Gaffer ?

It might take a while before they settle down to the price we'll actually pay on release day, though!

True. We usually get an extra £30-£40 added initally (over what the eurozone charges).

...and even when they settle, prices aren't as low as they should be. Most places are still charging £170 - £180 for the 3DS XL. Amazon UK sells it for £170 compared to £148/£152 at Amazon France/Germany.


I'm sure 250 euros will translate to most retailers sticking it at £229 (instead of the £199 it should be). I suspect 299 euros will translate to £269/£279 (instead of the £239 it should be). ...and then they wonder why UK sales have gone to shit.

 

[Sadist]

CaVaReYO, report!

 

[Aostia]

so, PAL 2013 confirmed!!!

 

[tnaden]

From the Wii U thread:

Not a mistake

Nintendo Spain fucked it with the first email, they forgot to write about embargoes and shit. Two minutes later I got a message with the embargo thingy, until 4pm here in Spain.

So maybe they just took down the page after the second email.

Sounding like we get it officially in about 1h 15min.
THE HYPETRAIN LIVES!

 

[Nibel]

Uh, 49 hours.
edit: Oh, embargo on the announcement of the ND.

 

[wrowa]

Yeah, it's quite obvious that the article was taken down because of a broken NDA. If the news was simply false, they would have posted a clarification. You only take something down when a publisher wants you to take it down ... And when that's the case, whatever has been reported is normally true.

 

[zroid]

hnnggghhhh

 

[GCX]

Uh, 49 hours.

The embargo ends in 1 hour.

 

[tnaden]

Uh, 49 hours.
edit: Oh, embargo on the announcement of the ND.

The direct in 49 hours, the announcement of it in 1h 12min.
EDIT: Ninja'd and you edited! DOH DOH

 

[Canis lupus]

Tomorrow new iPhone and the day after WiiU! So exciting.

 

[Jintor]

Goddamn I love surprise directs

 

[StreetsAhead]

For anyone expecting a JPN ND, it's 9:49 here right now, so we may have to wait til tomorrow for confirmation, if one's coming. Would give NCL their beloved 24-hour warning, too.

 

[TrueBlue]

Happy Birthday to me!

 

[Capell]

How about Rummelzug?

This made me chuckle

 

[Aostia]

OMG!!! ;D

It's hilarious that after GAME nearly went under this year they still let them decide the price. Like they know at all what sells.

Nintendo don't have any choice, IIRC; The EU went after them for hardware price fixing.

Übertreibungsbahn is a great translation. I love it!

Oh I know all that, but it's still poor form. To be honest, if they price it at what the 3DS was at launch... no touchy for me.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Just the news I was waiting for Thursday was going to be good for us Europeans, finding out the US launch details, but now it just got a lot better!

 

[ari]

OMG!!! ;D

Fake door.

That was a quick embargo.

Make way for the HŰHÓVONAT!!!! (Hungarian version)

 

[Pancakes R Us]

I reckon they'll be pushing it if the console is any more than £200.

In that case

 

[Mpl90]

So, exclusive for Wii U. I hope we get at least Paper Mario release date too XD
Let's see this Wii U.

 

[Vagabundo]

Bolscaireacht traein!

 

[Nosgoroth]

I get home about ten minutes before that. I guess I'm skipping dinner.

 

[mafionikkoku]

Somebody have to add Satoru Shibata on Nintendo's Hype Train

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Fake door.

Well, not a fake door, but a shitty cheap one. We had those kinds of doors at my school in the restrooms.
Ive seen more than one being punched through and/or teared apart like what the guy in that gif does. And Im talking about children doing it, you dont need much strenghth to tear one of those apart.

 

[Übermatik]

CHOOOchooochuoieaaaaahh... *plop*

 

[Kokonoe]

This is very unexpected.

 

[Spieler Eins]

More importantly, Kirby collection still needs to happen.

It's never the same without Iwata.

Iwata usually introduces it from his awkward locales in Japan, lol.

 

[marc^o^]

Awesome
