Yeah, because the last time Nintendo had four events in close proximity was so awesome.

I look forward to an hours worth of Nintendo Land fireworks display.

..and the last time was?
Seriously, I don't remember.
EDIT: Wait, there was 4 at E3? I swear there was only 3.
So what's in the first? Just Iwata combing his hair in preparation for the second?
Edit: I know it'll be date and price.
I'm personally hoping to get some information on the next Conduit from High Voltage Software.

Every time with the hype lol. All 4 conferences are most likely going to be very similar to each other.

Is it not better to launch with Mario, get people to buy the console first.. then release Pikmin at a date where it might actually have a chance of a medium level of commercial success?
Go on... get hyped. There's gonna be a blowout! New games! Smash Bros! Monolith's new game! Zelda too!
I mean, why else would they have so many press conferences? Can't contain all the awesome in only one!
We know Skylanders is coming, so I would be shocked if it isn't announced tomorrow. Personally, I think Nintendo and Activision would have a lot to gain from some sort of an "enhanced" Skylanders partnership this holiday.

Tried to not get hyped, but this latest ND announcement has me really excited. I'll do my best to avoid a meltdown tomorrow.

Wii U Launch Presentation, 4PM: Announcement of release date, price, and information about the system itself.
Nintendo Direct Wii U Preview, 11PM: Information relating to 1st and 3rd Party software. Lined up with the European & American (and Australian!) ND/Conferences.

i'm getting so confused. so now there are 4 events, can someone please list the times of each event in PST?
So we'll have NCL pricing hours before the NOA pricing?
Great, 6 morning hours of people panicking and converting Yen to USD.

Basically, yes. We'll have those horrible 6 hours of people converting ￥30,000 to USD and Euro and panicking (ignoring the unusual exchange rates going on right now).
The 4PM (JPN) one will detail release date & price, so you may get an idea of US timing. Plus, they'll probably talk about online, the user interface, miiverse etc, which you'll at least be able to watch, I suppose. Not essential, though.
Nope, other way round.

It'll probably be amusing. Also, you can move some decimal points on the price in yen to get the price in dollars.
I think CheeseMeister usually translates doesn't he?

If it's ￥30,000, then it's $300 barring any differences in bundles.
miiverse. you will understand it when you see it. and also : THE MELTDOWN. will happen. no matter what
StreetsAhead

Aye, it will be. However, people love to do conversions based on the daily rate and panic about it.

What a terrible post, and what an arrogant tone, too. People tweet, chat with friends or play mobile games and watch TV at the same time, and now they will be able to play console games while watching - We multi-task more than some care to recognise, and even when one takes that out of the equation, a good quality TV for £99 on what planet? A HD one to go with the HD console at that price? That's not even the point. There will be many who have small homes, and multiple televisions in one home isn't something you find in all countries - It isn't practical. Then there are electricity bills, energy efficiency and environmental concerns. It matters. I would suggest that it was an excellent decision, and I could see people in student halls or houseshares using it because their housemates want to watch a programme. I could see children using it while their parents watch the News. All that before even mentioning that the GamePad can and will do more than 'replace the television set'. Oh, and 'small Japanese market?' - It has the third largest economy and the tenth largest population in the world (at over 120 million); If that's 'small', then one has to wonder what that makes everybody else. Simply put, they'll do what they want, and they're right to ignore people who dismiss as 'small' things they don't get.
As You Were.

So they're gonna be at the same time again? That was annoying last time.
Trying to watch several things at once lol.

Has anybody made a time zone chart for all this yet? The directs and the briefings. I think the JP one for me is 3AM EST but I'm not sure if that's the direct or briefing or what.

To me, making the games events all at the same time bodes very well for what we will potentially get.
I was bummed out that the Japan first one would spoil things or there wouldn't be unified unveilings so what Japan got, might be it and whatnot but now it makes it all the more interesting.
Not getting too pumped up though but even new footage of the games we know would be welcome.

Looking forward to seeing this posted at some point during the NCL price NintendoDirect:
599 US DOLLARS
Thank you!!!
It seems I'll miss the first Japanese event and I'll have to get up early for the others :/
I as just egging you on. I hope Quebec gets its team back and smacks the habs around. I'm a leafs fan so you know my pain.*gasp* :O
I am also a Jets fan...you will see Nordiques fans are like Jets fans...all over the place and among the best in the league (one day for the Nords, currently true for the Jets)
Er...sorry for the OT moment guys...carry on...Wii U thing happening tomorrow or something along those lines
Also, 11 hours and 15 minutes until the conference
