[Why would you do that?]

Soooo...
It's almost go time! 5 minutes.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

omggggggggggggg

 

[Regulus Tera]

OMGOMGOMGOMG

Anyone liveblogging?

 

[swerve]

Are you guys not an hour too early? It's 12:30 in Japan...

 

[Black-Wind]

I thought he already did this thing with the last flood of NSMB Wii information! . . . o_0

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

I forgot AGAIN . . . I think something is either going to be mother fucking great megaton worthy or nothing but NSWB Wii talk cause I don't let shit like this go unnoticed on the reg.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

lol there's nothing happening here

 

[Crash Station]

Wait, so did this start already or not?

 

[DarkWish]

Wait, so did this start already or not?

I heard it was 12:30 Japan time, which would mean 11:30 pm eastern time in the US, so it should have started like 20 minutes ago. I can't find anything on it though...

I think if you look at the last page or so you'll see another time an hour later.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

Yeah actually there's another half hour left.

 

[AceBandage]

Well, according to this, it starts at 1:30?

 

[DarkWish]

Oh ok, so we have another half hour to go. Phew, I was getting worried there.

 

[GCX]

I want to know more about "HOW TO WRAP FIVE MORE EGGS" and "Let's create your own games by WiiRemote with your dad" speeches.

 

[Black-Wind]

We should try to find a live blogger in the mean time . . .

Screw that, they have an hour and a half on Korg 10!

 

[schuelma]

I would be very surprised if there was any liveblog for this.

 

[Why would you do that?]

Well, according to this, it starts at 1:30?

oh snap :lol
I was going after what others have been saying for days - 12:30.
They probably meant 12:30 EST, which is 1:30 PM, 13:30 JST.

This could have all been avoided if we all used a 24 hour time system. Or if I checked the source myself. I'd rather place blame on the time system, though. :lol

Edit: I wish that the Japanese streamed the conference. I would have loved to have seen the Korg one as well as the Miyamoto one.

 

[dani_dc]

About 10 minutes to go.
Any luck finding a live blogger?

 

[faloux]

It's start in 5 minutes, but no liveblogging... We have to wait more....

 

[Black-Wind]

I'm gonna watch Blood & Chocolate online. Hopefully by the time I take a break (or its over) something would have popped up.

It doesn't even seem like people outside of gaf knows this is going on. Weird considering it's Miyamoto.

 

[Luigiv]

All time on the internet should be in GMT, thus no confusion for anyone. Regardless according to the clock at the bottom of my screen (which is one hour behind Japan), it starts in 1 minute.

 

[Crash Station]

Welp, guess the megatons are going on without us. I hope in a few hours, this place is flooded with 500s because something ridiculous was announced.

 

[Why would you do that?]

Technically, I think all time should be in the time zone that an event is occurring in, unless you put the time zone next to the time.

So, 13:30, 1:30 PM, 12:30 AM EST, 9:30 PM PST, 4:30 GMT, all cool. Not that I'm faulting anyone, especially since the way something's written depends on context, but in a perfect world, every time would be written that way, I think.

 

[DarkWish]

It's been almost 15 minutes and we have nothing... the suspense is killing me!

 

[faloux]

That's the official twitter of the event :

http://twitter.com/dcexpo2009

For them, Miyamoto is not something very important...


Edit : some twitter related to "Machamoto" ^^ : http://twitter.com/search?q=%23DCEXPO


Edit 2 : This guy seems to be there : http://twitter.com/digi_sen

Google translation :
"Shigeru Miyamoto appeared. Discovery Asia Awards 2009 presented graphs. The CG has got the prize was designed in colorful kimonos."

I can't tell for sure, but it sounds to me like that Machamoto guy is talking about the Miyamoto keynote. Google Translate makes it all sound like nonsense though, so it's hard to say.

Nice find. Will follow digi_sen.

 

[Magypsy23]

OMG, Kawaguchi gave Miyamoto a kimono? MEGATON.

 

[DarkWish]

twitter.com/mikiyakatooo seems to be there.

"Miyamoto: I was doing band, playing bluegrass music.
Was a pretty child with long hair at the time."

"Introductory video begins Miyamoto"

EDIT: More...

"Miyamoto: Wii is going to go back to the basics that made the game"

 

[Magypsy23]

They're showing old footage of Miyamoto. >_>

 

[Magypsy23]

Kawaguchi : Are you related to Miyamoto Musashi?
Miyamoto: LOL NO

 

[GCX]

They're showing old footage of Miyamoto. >_>

What did you expect?

Miyamoto walking to the stage in a Pikmin suit and announcing a 50 new games in an event that nobody cares of. And that's of course only the first 10 minutes.

 

[Jaruru]

"宮本；小学校のときは漫画がやりたかった。赤塚先生、手塚先生。"

Miyamoto is talking about the old school comic history :O :O :O
cross over incoming XD

 

[faloux]

Hopefully, one of thoses is really there, we can follow them like this :

[Magypsy23]

So he wanted to be a comic artist when he was in primary school.

Talking about DK and Mario and how he made those games to be accessible to all players.

 

[-COOLIO-]

One of the tewwts was translated as "What is the mouth's natural w 'What is the Miyamoto Musashi was related? Did you have a sword from a while ago' "
:O

Actually, right now, Miyamoto is saying stuff about Donkey Kong.

Fake Edit: and now mentions RPGs and the birth of Zelda.

 

[Yagharek]

:lol

That would be hilarious.

 

[Magypsy23]

Talking about how Nintendo opposed the creation of the original Zelda (action game with RPG elements).

"I thought it wouldn't be fun if you got the sword from the start. But it'd be fun if you got it later on"

 

[DarkWish]

He talked about the original Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros. and Zelda... now he's mentioning Super Mario 64. It's like he's slowly building up to something... hype increasing!

 

[upandaway]

Huh, it was delayed or something? It should have like 10 minutes left.

This isn't really an ideal situation, is it. Oh well.

 

[udivision]

"I thought it wouldn't be fun if you got the sword from the start. But it'd be fun if you got it later on"

That's how the mind of a genius works.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Or it could just be a retelling of his career so far, since, you know, he's been just awarded a prize for it.

CRAZY I KNOW

 

[Magypsy23]

Nintendo didn't like Zelda's free roaming open world. Coz the players wouldn't know where to go next.

"OoT was well known in the US for its 3D visuals and epic story."

 

[JohnTinker]

countdown to 500 errors?

 

[duckroll]

Holy shit guys, Nintendo was totally going to make a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT this week relating to Miyamoto's keynote! It has to be! That's why Famitsu was delayed! OMG! NINTENDO FANS ARE SO EXCITED!

Lolz!

[Why would you do that?]

I can't really read it, but it seems like he's thanking Namco for Starfox's 3D graphics.
