That's just his smile. It's been a while since we've seen it.
Has Reggie lost a few pounds? His face looks weird.
Please gameplay debut of Bayonetta 2
How dare you mock #Regginator! I'd have you know that his body AND face are ready! Nothing weird about being the sexiest man in the Whole of Nintendo!
Behind Iwata
Maybe he was pissed that Retro's game was pulled??

He doesn't ever mention surprises or new games. Sounds like we shouldn't expect many all-new games in the 7AM Nintendo Direct. We'll see the reveal of games they've mentioned, like Smash and Mario though. I imagine they'll save Retro for a surprise later in the conference, unless the game is having development issues?

The leaps of logic in this post are amazing. So what he didn't say surprise or new games?
Then they wouldn't be surprises!
Yeh, you can't assume anything from some casual talk, especially from Nintendo employees.
You're reading too much into a statement written by someone who probably doesn't know what's the content of the direct. Yes there's a possibility of that, but these vague statements won't be any indication of it.

No Iwata detected. Will there be an E3 ND for Japan (presented by Iwata) and Europe (presented by Shibata) as well?
That's a bit reaching. I think it's safe to say they will announce atleast one new game. I would put my money on it.
It may not be the game you hope it is, but there is definitely a new WiiU game announcement brewing. Probably just Wii Sports U with Retro noticeably absent.
The Nintendo Direct is world wide.

Pokémon Direct at 11am Wednesday my time. Damn. That's the day I have a meeting with my PhD upervisors. I may be around for the bombs being dropped, but not for the aftermath. =/

Its a 90 minute roundtable. If I understand its closed doors and pictures/pictures are forbidden. I wonder if they Will allow live blogging though.Wait Pokemon Direct? I thought it was a roundtable. Is it being livestreamed? I'm missing it either way
Are we sure? Iwata said he wasn't going to attend E3 back in April. However, I know he'll still do the worldwide direct and at some point they will likely switch off with Reggie to talk about specific things for NA while Shibata and Iwata talk to their respective region.
Yep this is confirmed, the interview. He is coming.

Listen guys, E3 is here. It's really here. Not three months away. It's in a couple of days. Let's all have an excellent weekend, come back, and bask in the light from Iwata's E3 megatons.

Um, no he didn't. He simply stated he wouldn't be appearing at the events for the press/business partners.

Damn, I'll actually be driving to work during the direct. Maybe I'll go in early
Some stuff is for press only or is happening at the same time as the direct. The only thing that won't be released, or it may well do like previous developer roundtable discussions, is the pokemon Direct.
Congrats!!

Youre correct. It was me misremembering or someone mistranslated it when I read it. Heres the quote that I misremembered:
Congrats! Have fun! My honeymoon was so chill. I loved it. If you guys are the type of vacationers that lounge around instead of planning everything out, you'll have time for sure.

Oh, ok thanks. So for JPN ND, Reggie's voice will be dubbed in Japanese using Iwata's voice?
You of all people should know it is NOT a Pokémon Direct.
It is a closed Pokémon X & Y roundtable held at E3. It is not livestreamed. It prohibits having photos/video taken within it. It is not a Pokémon Direct in any sense of the word
Well based on two years of history you can pretty safely assume that they will fail to blow us away. It will be good stuff like the latest 3D Mario but don't expect anything exciting and unknown.
Nintendo have no idea how to excite and interest people beyond giving them what they expect.

January's ND?

The biggest bomb dropped will be that she leaves you for Reggie.
My concern is that Wii Fit U will do the burying.

Oh damn, I forgot about this one :-(My concern is that Wii Fit U will do the burying.
Really, the directs have certainly excited the mass of fans. If you;'re talking exclusively E3 2012 and 2011, well 2011 wasn't that even that bad. Why do you ignore anything past 2 years as well, is it that 2010 was a freak appearance?
X was pretty surprising imo, as well as a Yoshi yarn game, although kind of leaked. LTTP2 was unexpected for a type of Zelda game.
If you're talking new IP, then yes I would agree with you there.
Additionally, the bayonetta 2 announcement as well.

I'll be happy even if they only discuss the games they've already talked about... but I do hope there is a surprise or two.

Iwata will be in LA for the entirety of E3, as he is every year, he's just not speaking publicly at the events. He is presenting the Nintendo Direct in all three regions, and obviously he'll be on-hand at E3 all week, as he's booked for a bunch of interviews with IGN, Gamespot, etc.

So we're getting 4 new (playable) Wii U titles? New Mario and Mario Kart are probably two of them
