The stage is underwhelming honestly. Last years was so much better.

 

[Anth0ny]

Looks like a yellow Pikmin in that laptop bag next to him.

oh christ

NFC pikmin toys

 

[Dr.Hadji]

I only hope it doesn't make the NSMB:U reveal less impactful. Because Melty Molten and Buoy Base are making me hype.

Well 2d Mario >= 3d Mario so you shouldn't worry.

 

[Freezie KO]

Pikmin sighted! :O (please don't be NFC)

Here's more Galaxy hype music. Remix of my favorite Mario track ever, Koopa's Road from Mario 64:

[GameplayWhore]

So are people mostly on the irc channel or on the tinychat? I'm having trouble getting rid of the video crap and maximizing the actual chat part on the latter.

NFC thingy confirmed for Pikmin 3?

 

[Bisnic]

Gametrailers stream did that for me too just now. It didn't yesterday at all.

Are we going to see something really mature?

Farcry boobs.

11500 current viewers on the Nintendo stream, curious to see how its going to be in 18 mins.

edit : 12000 now

edit 2 : 12500 now, lol

 

[abstract alien]

That Pikmin figure is so going to be placed on the Upad

The big news here is that the pikmin figure will be available!

 

[AniHawk]

Spoiler

[Hobbestetrician]

Just wanted to chime in here before the conference starts about how much I have enjoyed these threads. They have had their ups and downs but seeing the response that Nintendo still draws has been great. No way the next Playstation or Xbox gets threads like these.

See everyone on the other side, I hope our bodies are ready.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

17 minutes left my duders. Hold tight.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

That Pikmin figure is so going to be placed on the Upad

yup, not sure if I want that

 

[VICTORsaurio]

that twitter thing on Spike is so stupid, they say OH SONY IS WINNING BECAUSE IT'S BEEN MENTIONED 3040393 times!!!! except many of those tweets can be anger tweets (which should the case with MS)

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

GUYS ! AGAIN ! REDEEMED !!

Jesus, we get it.

 

[Gahiggidy]

nvm.

 

[LegendofJoe]

 

[BlackJace]

So irresponsible. Don't they know that only toddlers will be watching this press conference?

BUT SPIKE IS A MAN'S CHANNEL. IT CONTAINS MATURE MANLY CONTENT FOR MANLY MEN. EXPLOSIONS, GORE, BABES.... IT'S ALL FOR MEN.

Seriously that's how they promote their channel.

According to vgleaks.com. A website that appears to have just started featuring 3 stories.

 

[walking fiend]

I doubt it but it certainly does look like a mash up of characters

I think it's definitely this

 

[Darryl]

anyone still have that gaf chat?

 

[Mistle]

Hype, black main color confirmed

Black on stage does make it a very likely launch colour

 

[IdeaMan]

Assuming this leak is real

At least this was the state of the flash storage until v4 dev kits, now maybe it's different for the latest dev kits, i hope we'll hear more about that soon

 

[Kjellson]

Shouldn't the avatars be turned off? Turning them off for the previous conferences but not this one doesn't make any sense.

 

[Tim-E]

Hype, black main color confirmed

I honestly think black being the main color would do enough to differentiate it for the "it looks too much like the Wii" crowd.

Where are the people that threw shit at Idy a few weeks ago? :lol
I don't see them in any threads anymore

[Aguila]

Are our bodies ready for da bombz to be dropped??

 

[Snakeyes]

At least this was the state of the flash storage until v4 dev kits, now maybe it's different for the latest dev kits, i hope we'll hear more about that soon

So 3-5x 360 (closer to 3) is confirmed then? Sweet.

 

[Donnie]

Are IGN not showing the Nintendo conference or something? Every other time I've gone there they've had a conference link right on the front page for EA/Sony/Ubisoft ect, but there's nothing there for Nintendo.

 

[BD1]

ugh, fuck this weather. Storm has knocked my DirectTV fuzzy. I really wanted to watch this on my HD TV. Off to a stream, I guess.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

13 minutes left. All aboard the hype bird.

 

[StreetsAhead]

My body isn't ready for Pikmin. It was the 1st 3D game I played extensively (grew up on Gameboy) and it's been 8 years and three e3 conferences. I can't take it, why is this making me so hyped?
