Nintendo Press Conference (discussion and live stream)

Alright the big event we've waited 2 years for is finally here. Nintendo will be unleashing the big guns and hopefully it'll deliver that revolution it promised with Wii. I do hope we'll all be saying "wow" and I do hope Reggie makes some comments on Sony's conference (in case he doesn't please click here). Don't forget we also have Zelda and the DS and any other surprises to look forward to.

So here's what's going to happen. 9:30 AM PST and 12:30 EST you can tune in for free to Gamespot's live feed which will undoubtedly be a little behind schedule but be ready to watch it then just in case it is on time.

Again just like last time, be warned that if you fag this thread up like the former Revolution threads then you will be banned from this thread and perhaps for a week or two from Mario's Warp Room or all of the gaming forums. I will stomp out any childish behavior just like I did in the PS3 Press Conference thread. So basically behave in this thread or else.

This is the Nintendo Press Conference thread for discussion of all things related and/or occurring in said conference. The main focus will of course be Wii but discussion of any surprises or DS or Zelda or anything else covered are fair game in here too. I may close this thread and open a purely Nintendo Wii (or just Wii - I forget if it's officially just called Wii) thread a day or so after the conference is over. It too will have the same rules as this one. Anything unrelated either has a thread already (DS and Zelda) or will be created if it doesn't fall into either and has enough concrete details.

Link to prior Revolution/Wii thread for time piecing.

Enjoy the Nintendo Press Conference and what not and please, play nice.



Jam it back in, in the dark.

Who else is gonna be hear to watch the show live?

I am and I pumped & hopeful for this conference. Don't let us down Nintendo.

(judging from the Zelda: TP thread, I don't think they will...)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'll be here.~ So close. SO CLOSE. If there's no Pilotwings game, I'll cry. A secret manly tear.
Can't wait to see all the Iwata photos this years conference will spawn!

How ya doing, buddy?

Kid Icarus!!!

Actually, I've never played the game, but what better way to introduce him to me by giving the guy a "New" generation facelift!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'll be watching it live, barely. I'll have to juggle work as I watch. Kinna wish it wasn't so early but I'm selfish and cranky. (lol @ getting up at 6am to be up for this ; ; )

I just hope Nintendo doesn't let people down. Things look good so far. Please dont screw it up.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I didn't even know this was going on today, but I figure if I'm home sick doing nothing I might as well. It's pretty much a defining moment for Nintendo, because a sloppy presentation right after the PS3's could, well.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

As far as I know, the conference takes place at 9 PM where I'm living, so sure I'm watching it. (I saw it last year, and that made me laugh.)
Anyways, it'll be interesting to see what they can pull off. If oly they are hiding Reggie a bit like last year.

Nintendo has taken such a huge risk with Wii that they really can not mess up either today or when Wii is finally released.

If they do, then 5 years from now I'm really going to enjoy playing Mario games on the PS3 much like I enjoy playing Sega games on the Gamecube.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

50 minutes left, as of now.

I'll be watching the live feed at EDIT: beaten by Acer

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm surprised GameSpot's stream has already started. I mean, it's just a logo and some doof doof, but hey. HEY HEY. Navi confirmed for Wii.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Thanks for giving up almost the same link as in the first post.

I'll be watching this I guess. How long will it run?

edit: the stream has SUPAR KEWL musics.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm here too. Damn, I'm so eager to see what Nintendo has to offer. I want to see the Zelda for Wii game they are talking about (not Twilight Princess with Wii compatibility, but a brand new Zelda for Wii) and some DS titles. Also, I believe there is a "surprise" they have yet to reveal... so yeah, I'm expecting a pretty interesting conference.

I will cry also. In unison!

My first live-feed viewing. Awww....

Thank god I'm in Uni now. I have class at 1pm tomorrow!!! Gives me the perfect excuse to stay up to 3am ^_^.

Haha yay for testing signal and Nintendo logo smashed together accompanied by muzacks! ='D

I'm gonna go out and grab some quick lunch before this thing starts. Be back in a bit guyz.

FELIPE NO

ZOMG waited one year for this damn day.

Wiiva la Revolution!!!

Zelda TP, DS games, Wii info and some more name-taking and ass-kicking.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I can't wait! This may be Nintendo's chance to go back to the SNES glory days.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Seeing how underwhelming the Sony conference was, I think there's a chance I might convert to fanboyism!!!

Seriously, screw this being unbiased gamer thing. If Nintendo steal the show and then dominate the market by the end of next year then I'll go fanboy (like back in the SNES days).

WIIII!!!!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Meeting got out in good time for me to sit here and enjoy the revolution with you guys. FUCKING PUMPED!!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

maybe it's that the nunchuck has tilt sensitivity.

ign seems pretty set that the nunchuck DOES have tilt but i don't know if that's the secret.

Does the Wiimote even NEED tilt?

I thought the gyroscopic technology dealt with that.

I'm here as well, and although I'm seriously pumped for this, Sony's craptastic showing has given me not only hope for Wii, but also a fear that they might fuck up just as badly. Either way, should be interesting.

I'm anxiously anticipating the feed, as well.
Can't wait to see what peculiar surprises Nintendo is going to demonstrate today.

I bet they have quite a lot of winning cards up their sleeve.

Could be... but I'm expecting something more ZOOMGGG!!!!!-ish... like...

Reckon Microsoft will have a good presentation? Yeh, they've got less elements of surprise now but you never know...

They were basically laughing manically after Sony's conference.
