[Suzzopher]

Can't wait to see Jonathan Ross and Ono take the piss out of French George Clooney again at the Euro event.

 

[Chet Rippo]

Which turns out to be one of the planets in Super Mario Universe.

Don't forget the F-Zero races.

 

[jmizzal]

No way it releases on the 16th, BLOPS 2 releases on November 13th and Nintendo would be c-r-a-z-y to miss that date. Especially with rumors of it hitting the platform flying around lately.

I agree Nintendo will also be crazy to miss AC3 Oct 30th date, I say either Oct 21st or Oct 28th.

Oh snap, completely forgot about that one! Come on Ninty, October release for my birthday!

you really need to get over that. GAF doesn't agree on anything, other than RE4 being awesome.

On Gaf every thread is an re 4 stealth thread.

Just the conference or the whole event? I can think on interviews, demos, etc. but a 6 hour conference?

No, the event itself is from 10 AM to 4 PM. Why would anyone have a 6 hour press conference? That's absurd.

 

[KeeSomething]

Still unsure of the Wii U. Nintendo had two E3s to impress, and I feel they did not. :/

But, hey, I'm a Nintendo fan first, so I'll be keeping up on this event! Here's to hoping for either a new IP or a new direction for a current IP (like how Prime was to the Metroid series after Super Metroid). For a company that throws around the word "innovation" as much of Nintendo, I'd like to see some new experiences that are not already available on the Gamecube.

Presumably, there'll be a press conference in the morning at the normal length of an hour or so, maybe a bit longer. The rest of the day will be for hands-on demos and interviews, yes.

That's the way it was back in 06. Fun times!

A six hour press conference would be great.

 

[flippedb]

Choooo choooo! My hype is body! Bomb drop the Reggie! Wooooo!

$350 with a couple download codes.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

A six hour press conference would be great.

After E3s 1 hour snooze fest? Why not? lol

 

[Hoodbury]

5 and a half hours on Nintendoland, half hour on the rest...

 

[illadelph]

so basically Spaceworld is back?!!? fuuuck yeaah here we go

 

[Ridley327]

5 and a half hours on Nintendoland, half hour on the rest...

Back by popular demand, three uninterrupted hours of the NintendoLand fireworks display!

 

[nckillthegrimace]

A six hour press conference would be great.

The vast majority of that conference would be Eguchi explaining the bizarre minutia of the remaining Nintendo Land games in excruciating detail.

 

[Tenki]

A six hour press conference would be great.

6 free hours, pizza and Wii U. Seems like a good plan.

 

[alfredofroylan]

BTW Can we assume that preorders are going to start the same day?

 

[ffdgh]

6 hours of nintendo land.

I hope they do answer alot of questions within those 6 hours.

Summer '13: EAD Starfox with rumble body suit pack-in

 

[Social]

It launches in November for 299.00 dollars with a pack in game, a tablet and a Wii Motion+ controller.

 

[Ridley327]

BTW Can we assume that preorders are going to start the same day?

I'm sure that pre-orders will be turned on as soon as the date and price are confirmed. No doubt that retailers will be clued in shortly before the event starts.

 

[Soroc]

Launches Nov 11th
Price: 299.99

Includes:
Demos to launch line up games on Nintendo Network.
Also includes free voucher codes for a few free downloadable games.
AR/casual board games built in.
Gamepad
Wiimote+ & Nunchuk

 

[metalslimer]

Ead tokyos or retros game will probably be shown if there are 2013 titles. Im hyped.

 

[gamergirly]

Yayyyyyyy

 

[Boney]

I'm hoping for Kiki Trick 2 - More unlocalized fun!

No, the event itself is from 10 AM to 4 PM. Why would anyone have a 6 hour press conference? That's absurd.

I'd watch it

 

[Mlatador]

299 everywhere in the world. watch it happen. shit is gonna sell gangbusters during the holidays and shortgages will arise very fast.

That'll be the beginning of the PS2 scenario with 130 million consoles sold at the end of the 7th year.

At hour three Reggie begins a meandering filibuster, reading from N64 and Gamecube game manuals.

 

[test_account]

Predicition. Very unrealistic in my opinion, at least if the "gamepad" is referring to the standard gaming controller.

 

[Ridley327]

The official name of the padlet is the GamePad.

 

[KeeSomething]

The GamePad is the touchscreen controller, and I don't think it will be too far off. I doubt the Wii U will include a Wiimote/nunchuk, though.

 

[Kafel]

Crazy to be so close to the Apple event.

 

[1-UP]

My prediction: Wiimote+ and Nunchuk not included, will be sold separately.

No no no dont start that in here! lol

I hope. I don't think he fully explained that Luigi's Mansion mini-game in great enough detail.

 

[Deleted member 284]

Shit....I need tickets....but how?

"I call this the 'CHOO CHOO'."

 

[Chet Rippo]

I'd watch it

You would.

Spoiler

So would I

 

[Jonboy]

Ehhh. Coverage will be hard to come by when you're following an Apple event by one day. Not hatin'...this would be true for anyone not named Apple.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

I hope. I don't think he fully explained that Luigi's Mansion mini-game in great enough detail.

I think it was poorly received during the conference because the ratio of time VS information was heavily skewed. I felt like he somehow spent too long on that game and didn't give us enough information at the same time.

 

[Exterminieren]

Imagine the megatons that a six hour conference could bring.

Imagine the bitching that a six hour conference could bring.

 

[Haliela]

Hell yes. HELL YES!!!

Hopefully the 14th will mark the beginning of GameStop Wii-U Preorders.

 

[ohlawd]

More Pikmin 3 and Project P-100 pls Nintendo. We've seen Rayman Legends and ZombiU loads now

Oh and Retro's new game. Yep. That one has to be showed too.

 

[Snakeyes]

$248.95 please.

 

[Sadist]

Finally!

Gotta promote all Nintendoland attractions.

 

[Cosmozone]

Skylanders

Thats just my prediction
