With their new console already out, and with the company deciding against holding a big E3 press conference, there's seemingly little for Nintendo fans to get really excited about at this year's show.

wtf

oh boy man, I'm so sorry :/

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

Japan - Pokemon X/Y site promising tons of info tomorrow

There's a Pokemon Direct at 6 pm Pacific / 9 pm Eastern, so don't expect Pokemon news in the main Nintendo Direct.

 

[Tehalemi]

Off topic but yeah, irc tells me my IP has too many open connections or some such... :|


And sorry to hear that MYE, but look on the bright side:

Kotaku has seemingly little to spin on Ninty anymore, so they go for an awesome work of art to state essentially nothing.

[Pikma]

Can't connect to the IRC (

 

[Boss Doggie]

Ninty can't be worse than what MS is showing... can it?

 

[-Horizon-]

wtf

Whaaa??

 

[Fantastical]

Ninty can't be worse than what MS is showing... can it?

Well, MS will be showing a lot of never before heard of games. I expect a lot of surprises.

 

[jmizzal]

Did Kinect Sports 2 kill gaf lol

 

[MYE]

Ninty can't be worse than what MS is showing... can it?

Microsoft conference started? huh?
Or is it that wierd rumor thread?

Well that's just rude.

 

[Pikma]

So GAF ended up being more reliable than the IRC, who could have known? lol

 

[ffdgh]

The irc kept saying there were too many connections from my ip to connect >_>.

Well that's a stupid article, but I like the comment on Reggie. "You wouldn't like me when my body is ready."

 

[-Horizon-]

Microsoft conference started? huh?

I think it's started, Joystiq was liveblogging a Kojima game or something.

 

[Not]

Will GAF be down for the Ninty conference too or will no one care like Kotaku says

I trust Kotaku

Microsoft's conference is paced really well.

 

[MisterHero]

Hey guys the nintengaf mibbit isn't working for me! I want to join too!

 

[Outtrigger888]

Lol during the game reveal of some dragon game for x1, there wasn't any audio in the trailer, so you can hear the crowd. One guy says out loud, "xbox sucks"

For anyone still wondering why Nintendo is switching from a live stage show to a pre-recorded Nintendo Direct, that awkward Battlefield not loading period is why.

Yeah, I've never seen something as bad as that happen on a live E3 press conference.

 

[DaBoss]

I hope Nintendo's ND will be just as focused on games as Microsoft's conference was. I was satisfied with the way they went from game to game with talking kept at a minimal level. Since it is a Direct, they would have more efficiency and less time used up during transitions.

For anyone still wondering why Nintendo is switching from a live stage show to a pre-recorded Nintendo Direct, that awkward Battlefield not loading period is why.

Yea, that was pretty bad.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

So I'm quite confident that Nintedno can beat Microsoft.

Nintendo needs to drop the price To 279 or 249

 

[Fantastical]

I'm a little worried about Nintendo saying they are looking for ways to "delight" us during the Direct. The way they can delight us is through surprises and non-stop games. I really hope they don't try to be funny and do some forced meme bullshit.

Say what you will about the price, but Microsoft's conference had game after game after game. People were saying Nintendo did a Direct so we don't have to sit through bullshit, but I'm honestly expecting more bullshit than Microsoft's.

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

Question, I'm not going to be able to watch this live. Where should I go when I get to my computer if I want to watch the whole thing spoiler free?

 

[JBtheHunter]

Nintendo needs to drop the price To 279 or 249

Not really... It's $150 cheaper, basic bundle is $200 cheaper.

 

[Aeriscloud]

We live!

Basic bundle is going away.

I agree that Microsoft's conference we well-paced and that Nintendo could have had an equally impressive conference. A Nintendo Direct does automatically indicate a better presentation.

 

[Senator Soufflé]

Is GAF back for good this time?

Also I'm not having any problems with the IRC, though I'm like the only one there.

 

[metalslimer]

Price drop to 250 and you'll have a great recovery Nintendo. MS just left a HUGE opening

 

[AGoodODST]

So $499/£429 for the Xbone gives Nintendo much more breathing room than I thought that would have.

 

[JoeM86]

It's not a Pokémon Direct. I don't get where people are getting this from.

There's a closed roundtable at E3 for Pokémon X & Y. No video, no livestream, no photos. Official twitter and various sites & blogs will be live tweeting.

The information will either come at the same time, or just after

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

If you're having trouble getting into the IRC, download a client like KVIRC. Message me if you need help setting it up.

 

[Pikma]

We're back on track!

Say what you will about the price, but Microsoft's conference had shooter after shooter after shooter. People were saying Nintendo did a Direct so we don't have to sit through bullshit, but I'm honestly expecting more bullshit than Microsoft's.

Fixed

Yeah, if someone expects the same number of new games revealed at the ND, well, take a seat. Only one megaton is needed to blow everyone away though, MS didn't have any. All was leaked/expected way before the conference.

No they don't. Anyone thinking they're gonna go anywhere near a $100 price drop THIS soon with an insane slate of games coming out is simply delusional.

 

[Yondy604]

Drop the price too 250$ zelda mario metroid SSB

Make 3 of those titles available on Xmas.

And watch everybody buy a wii U

I think I will need help to install it... on my WiiU. -_-

 

[metalslimer]

50 dollar price drop there is a basic model and the exchange rate is MUCH better

This is a Nintendo Direct, not a conference so they won't force stuff like that. Directs have always been ONLY about the games

 

[Meelow]

50 dollar price drop there is a basic model and the exchange rate is MUCH better

If they price drop it to $300 with a bundled game than that's more fair.

They won't price drop it $100 this early.

 

[evilromero]

Don't just drop the price without killer software. They need to do it when 3D Mario drops or something that just leaves our jaws on the floor. The big question is if they show anything that does that. Nintendo hasn't been known for offering giant full-world experiences as of late, so I don't know if what they show will have a strong core appeal.
