Ah didn't even notice you here. Yes, there's two events, first one is Nintendo only where they will announce the 5 games, the second one i believe is a few hours later (check the first page of this thread), that one is an EA and Nintendo one. They'll probably showcase their sport lineup there.

There is something about this BigN+EA event on the official LGC page:

"Geburtstunde der Initiative Spielraum. Das Institut zur Förderung von Medienkompetenz ist ein gemeinsames Projekt von EA und Nintendo. Prof. Jürgen Fritz von der Fachhochschule Köln wird die aktuelle Erhebung des Institutes für Medienforschung und Medienpädagogik vorstellen: Wie groß ist das Informationsbedürfnis von Eltern und Pädagogen? Wie kann ihre Medienkompetenz erhöht werden? Und wie sieht zukünftig das Engagement von EA und Nintendo in der Initiative Spielraum aus?"

In fact there is nothing about some new games or Wii-releated stuff.

What if they just give the European release date.. :lol

The European Nintendo site has a story up about their new RSS feed:

Do you want to be the first to know when Wii launches in Europe? Are you spending far too much time surfing to all your favourite websites? Do you like being ahead of the pack at all times?

 

[GoldenEye 007]

IGN Wii will have a live text stream up starting at 4:15AM Eastern Std Time, 1:15AM Pacific. This, of course, being the "Wii Prove Our Promise" event.

 

[Shard]

Still another 10 minutes till the conference begins right?

 

[sprsk]

IGN Wii will have a live text stream up starting at the posted conference time.

Which is...

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Which is...

4:30AM EST, right?

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Which is...

Oh, I thought the conference time would have been posted. 1:15AM Pacific, 4:15AM Eastern. I have no idea for other parts of the world.

 

[Kevtones]

Okay so it seems Batallion Wars is a go.

Online multiplayer PLEASE.

 

[Burnst]

Still another 10 minutes till the conference begins right?

:lol Gaf is so confused, something is happening in Europe...

 

[Sabaku Ika]

How do you say "spannund" in Germain?

 

[mr_nothin]

Anybody know that there is a Just Cause demo coming in a day and a half?

 

[Burnst]

How do you say "spannund" in Germain?

Super geil klasse!!

 

[Nino]

I'm in and so are a lot of Ninty fanboys by the looks of the bags/badges. The connection is shitty in the lobby but I'm in the forum now which has an excellent connection. Which other GAF'ers are around?

The opening conference is starting in 20 minutes or so but I wish I went to the showfloor instead, looks ****ing boring.

(I'm the guy with the black BANE zipper, don't be shy )

Nintendo fans flooding a conference? never!

Cool that you are there. Have fun.

 

[Nino]

It was aweful, a few 13 yr olds proclaiming that they were running the biggest Zelda fansite in teh w0rld.... And thanks

 

[Sonki.]

This actually sounds awesome.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Wait, what? Confrence's now???

...it's to early... 7:30AM...i just woke up...

*yawn*

 

[GhaleonEB]

Figures. I leave in 30 minutes to head to the airport, and won't have internet access for at least another five hours, when I get to the hotel in Singapore. Oh well, reading the response to the Wii pricing announcement will still be fun. I predict $200 for the US, Nintendo fans dancing in the streets and a few bannings. As usual.

I'm interested to see how they do the conference. Nintendo's E3 show was a hoot to watch.

 

[soundwave05]

The price may not be announced. Nintendo may want to keep MS/Sony guessing a little while longer (along with everyone else). I think Iwata said way back that the price would be unveiled in September, but I could be remembering that wrong.

At least the European one, anyways.

Edit: that's for release date. D'oh. :lol

 

[ChryZ]

Why is there no Leipzig Games Convention sticky?

 

[Bad_Boy]

Nintendo may want to keep MS/Sony guessing a little while longer (along with everyone else).

But why?

In the end why would they care, its not like MS and Sony will change their prices after Nintendo announces a 200 dollar console. MS/Sony has already shown their cards. They mind as well tell everyone, its not going to chang much of anything. We already know the thing will be cheap.

only reason I can see they are waiting for is to make it a big event type announcment, to create some hype and free marketing for themselves.

 

[Striek]

Team Bondi sent me a reply to an email (nearly a goddamn month after I sent it) a couple days ago re: when the trailer for L.A. Noire will be released that said, amongst other things, "We are pretty close to releasing information about the game including a trailer".

I wonder if theres a chance of it being at GC as opposed to TGS...always hope I guess.

 

[DefectiveReject]

come on Zoonami don't fail me, show us your games!


:lol

 

[Shard]

There we are, damn maintenance downtime.

 

[Spider_Jerusalem]

Ok, Nintendo is over. Any live coverage links for Microsoft?

 

[McBacon]

EuroG is going

 

[Blimblim]

I'm encoding some PES6 360 footage right now, I'm quite disappointed though :/
Fuzion Frenzy 2 doesn't actually look and play bad at all, the 5 playable mini games are very fun.

 

[Spider_Jerusalem]

EuroG is going

Yeah, I'm refreshing their home to see if the page comes up.

And yesss, gogogo Blim!

Edit: HERE IT IS

 

[Karma Kramer]

Whats PES6?

 

[Blimblim]

PES6 footage online in 12 minutes. Fuzion Frenzy 2 in 30. Then I'm off to the MS Press Conference.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

1PM CEST? What time is that EST? (It got delayed apparently)

 

[unomas]

Whats PES6?

Pro Evolution Soccer???

 

[Karma Kramer]

Nvm... I found out what it is.

Any ideas what to expect from Microsoft Blim?

I pretty much don't think there will be much.

Video pes6

 

[Pug]

PES has never looked good but has always played good, so as long as the gameplay is up to scratch thtas fine by me. Anyway the video looks fine to me the animation seems top notch.

 

[Spider_Jerusalem]

1PM CEST? What time is that EST? (It got delayed apparently)

It's in an hour. Yeah, delayed.

 

[Karma Kramer]

Someone make a "Microsoft @ Liepzig" Thread

Sorry about the bad colors, we are having issues with our new camera.

 

[gonknoggin]

I'm at the Ubisoft press conference right now which hasn't started yet. But they gave out press material announcing Silent Hunter 4: Wolves of the Pacific a new version of the submarine simulation. I'll see what else is coming up.

[Pug]

Blim I don't see why you were disapointed with PES it looks great on your video, although you seem to have concentrated on the radar for a fair bit!

 

[Blimblim]

Fuzion Frenzy 2 (dark video :/)

The radar bit is when we are doing the focus of the camera on the screen

 

[RaijinFY]

Ive not waited next-gen to play the exact same games as old-gen. Seriously there may be some improvements but there are not really apparent at all. ugh...

 

[unomas]

Fuzion Frenzy 2..............on Xbox Live. I'm sure that will happen.

 

[gonknoggin]

Brothers in arms: Hell's Highway for PC is being presented by the Producer from Gear Box Studios and it looks pretty good, nice character animation and setting.

Oké, where can I follow that conferents, I want Rayman news ;(

 

[gonknoggin]

Conference ended 20 minutes ago. No Ray. shown, also no SplinterCell. I'm sitting at the microsoft show right now, which starts in a few minutes, Let's see...

 

[Nino]

Blegh I couldnt get in, watching it from some stupid pile of rocks on a TV now, that Speech fellow is pretty annoying.


Viva Pinata has the most annoying framedrops ever, completly unplayable.


Microsoft is spending quite a lot of attention on FIFA 07 in their conference. Too bad my photo with that chick that plays Lara Croft didn't turn out very well.
