That was my point. If I didn't melt down over the worst moment in Nintendo's marketing history, why would I meltdown for what could be their best?We're comparing one of Nintendo's worst E3s to one that's looking to be nothing like it. You sure that's the best comparison?
Agreeing with both of those.
Other M made me go "Wat? This will be fucking incredible". Times change :lol
And just seeing Snake as someone who played games on Nintendo consoles first and foremost back then but always admiring the MGS franchise was pretty mindblowing.

3DS software at E3 2010. A new Kid Icarus along with the sheer breadth of third-party support announced, even if not all of the latter ended up materializing.

If no ones mind will be blown by Nintendo this E3, something went horribly wrong!

Can i quote you on that after E3?
How so? You think minds will be blown, graphically? Or you think Mario won't show up? Feel free to quote me either way, being wrong on the former would be great and I'm not going to be wrong about the latter
If you had told 16-year-old H.T. that this was happening in another decade or so, he would've thought you were absolutely nuts "N-V-T-S, nuts!"Just seeing this made me cry with complete and utter joy!!

Well, for most people, their worst was just "oh God this is dull and stupid Wii Music really uuuugh", while their best will be "OMG OMG THIS IS AMAZING WOW DID YOU SEE THE GRAPHICS THEY INDIVIDUALLY RENDERED EACH HAIR ON MARIO'S MUSTACHE AND RAY-TRACED THE REFLECTIONS ON LINK'S SWORD OMG CONSOLE OF THE FOREVER AND EVER!".
I dunno, just as long as we don't get out of hand, I guess.

Some convincing "mind-blowing" moments I'd say, folks. I think for me, the 3DS line up that was initially unveiled was mind-blowing in it's breadth and quality, even if some of the titles never emerged and we are still waiting for others.
I think Nintendo have a good chance at blowing us all away this year. They only need one or two HD titles which either use an unexpected new IP or a much-loved existing franchise to have that effect. I wouldn't be surprised if the real megaton was related to services/ partnerships though. I have a good feeling about the Nintendo Network...

Then you´d better hurry because starting next week, nothing will stop my hunger for news when the "IT´S GOING DOWN NEXT WEEEEEKKKKK!!!!" realisation kicked in!
Even though I hate everyone collectively having high expectations (for Nintendo's sake), I agree. I'm pretty much expecting something to make my body parts twitch.

Go on then.
There's no need for a fanfare; if you have a leak, post it.

On the other hand, they brought it upon themselves... One year of near silence and not delivering in the end? Does. Not. Compute!
They wouldn´t build up this insane hype for nothing. If they did... *yikes* GAF avoiding time for at least a month!

So when do folks like Shiggy and Iwata and co. actually fly over to the US in order to prep for the presentation? I assume they do many conference calls in order to figure out their messaging, but surely they arrive a few days (if not a week or two) early to adjust to the time change and do run-throughs in conference rooms and studios before doing run-throughs in the theater.
If they are doing similar video gimmicks with the stage as they did last year then they definitely have scaled models (if not the actual stage pieces) and do a run through on a sound stage beforehand to make sure the projectors and video sync well with what's being projected on. I would venture to guess the production company is doing all of that now with stand-ins, with Nintendo PR team keeping tabs of everything while Reggie & the execs are slaving over the actual messaging.
All of the videos to be used in the sizzle reels are probably being put together now by third parties and sent off via FTP/dropbox to whoever at Ninty is editing together the reels next week sometime.

Wii Fit.
DEAD serious
That was the "new Miyamoto IP" at the time, everyone wanted to see what hardcore new franchise and new characters will came 6 years after Pikmin. And bam, a balance on stage, Reggie's body gonna be ready. I was seriously mind blown, even if the game/app and accesory didn' tappeal to me, I saw how they were gonna sell a shit ton of it to a new audience.

Wow, was that really how it was unveiled? I totally have no memory of Miyamoto being connected to it. Maybe I blocked it out of my memory... I remember buying it, using it about 3 times, and then selling it at a nice profit because they were sold out everywhere in the UK

There's definitely something big coming. Those with their ears against the ground have heard some interesting things (they just won't tell us)

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
Celda. And before that, the Pikmin on stage demo.
nnnng... ManIdea, I was just going to disconnect from GAF (and Internet) to try to go bed not too late, this time, and here you come... I'm waiting now. Please, deliver.it's coming in a moment, just to check something

IdeaMan needs to stop announcing he's announcing something just before I feel like going to bed. It's bad for my sleep pattern.
I could see a lot of folks breaking-down here, for all to see. Lots of grey. Lots of folks freely baiting and taunting.
I'd be a bit pissed, but I also would know not to give the resident haters around here the pleasure of seeing me flip-out.

Not sure when exactly they come out, but it's something like a few days ahead. They'll run through their conference a few times, make sure things are working., do any minor tweaks.

For emphasis !
Kid icarus wiiu could look like this:
If so, i think we can still be happy about the gfx
If they can stay a bit truer to the original's gameplay mechanics, I think this is on my weep list. Oh yes. Right next to BG&E2 and StarTropics.
Shit, did you some leaked info? John H has already been in and said "WOW" to some of the stuff he's seen on Wii U. And that was a reference to graphic "quality" IIRC.
There's no way some stuff won't look AMAZING on it.

Then again, every month we have game journalists hyping "something huge that everybody's going to be VERY EXCITE for", and then it turns out to be something incredibly mundane.

Golden Sun sure came out of nowhere.
Too bad goddamn IGN spoiled Donkey Kong Country before the conference.
