Official E3 Thread, zomg!

Kay, E3's started for anybody who didn't know. xd

Livecasting of Nintendo's conference - Kotaku - Starts at 9am, PDT.

As for Microsoft, there Conference's finished, apparently. Two biggest points (imo):

Resident Evil 5 Trailer
Halo 3 Trailer

I can't be bothered finding everything else, but all that's happened so far is on Kotaku, so just look around on there. I'll probably post again later when I'm watching the Ninty conference. :O Which apparently, has a Smash Bros. Brawl trailer. New characters, plz. xd

So yeah, discuss whatever you want. >>;

Re: Official E3 Thread, zomg!

Kotaku's connection is either overburdened by traffic or sucks. (Possibly both, of course.) I tried watching, and for about two minutes (from 8:40am PST to 8:42am PST), I was watching it in decent streaming fashion. The song "I'm a Believer" by the Monkees was playing in the background. Then, as the song was coming to a close, the kid with the camera decided to get up (which caused the video input to the feed to change drastically, of course) and the connection just went apeshit. It kept trying to buffer every 2 seconds and my CPU was maxed out at 100% and my hard drive was chirping away trying to handle whatever the fuck Kotaku was trying to communicate to them. So I closed the window, and five minutes later, the CPU finally calmed down. Jesus. -_-;

So ... I'm skeptical of watching it live, and will enjoy hearing what Nintendo had to say after the fact.

EDIT: Tried it again at 9:00am PST. I just heard the announcer say "Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats." And now some jackass is talking. We'll see. *not one for annoying conferences*

Re: Official E3 Thread, zomg!

Talon's real-time commentary ...

9:07am PST: Wow, Reggie is really lame. I already knew this based on his interviews, but hearing the guy give a speech makes it all the more clear. He reminds me of a high school speech giver. Not a corporate representative. How did this guy become President of NoA? >_< Because a bunch of nerds voted him "the Regginator?" :P

9:08am PST: I'm getting really sick and tired of hearing Reggie talk but seeing nothing but darkness and a big Nintendo sign on three television screens.

9:09am PST: Wow! God heard me! The lights came on!

9:10am PST: Major lag. Reggie mentioned a chart, but all I see is a big fat Mario cosplayer.
And now "Putting the Wii back in We." ... where's that chart?

9:11am PST: Reggie just mentioned "female players." To make matters more uncomfortable, I heard no geeks laughing and getting giddy. The room was just silent. Um ...... wow. He made a politically incorrect segway meant to elicit chuckles, and nobody laughed.

9:12am PST: I got bored. *closed the live feed window*

How long did you guys hold up?

Re: Official E3 Thread, zomg!

It's started, so I'll type as I listen.

-Random weird sounds.
-Lol, Cartman's "I'm waiting for the Nintendo Wii to come out" just came on the speakers. Nintendo rox. xd
-Sounds are still going.
-Boooorrinnng, start already. xD
-Woo, it's starting. =o
-Growth of video games up 46% in america this year. 42% in uk. Woo? Growth up 114% in Japan. :O
-69% of growth comes directly from Nintendo =o
-Lawl, joke about PSP being shit. xd
-Now they're talking about the market. Older people, female players, blah blah blah.
-Kay, games like WiiSports are satellites in the game universe, apparently. 0o Pull people in.
-DS is best selling games system on Earth. xD
-Roffle, a Reggie Mii is on the screen.
-Some weird music's came on. It just said "MY BABY! ;-;" That makes 20 minutes and no game stuff yet. Kinda boring.
-My video's way behind the sound. >>; It's got sounds but Reggies still talking. xd
-Offspring of the Wiimote. Wii-Sapling apparently. New housing for mote and nunchuk.
-Umbrella Chronicles test sometime this week.
-Okay, my video is WAAAAY behind. xd The statistics I mentioned earlier? Just came on screen. >>; Kay, I'll just post this useless drivel for now, and post the rest later. xd

Re: Official E3 Thread, zomg!

I'm watching it on G4 (yay TiVO), but nothing's really caught my attention aside from SSBB info. I'm so asking for a Wii for Christmas and the Sim City professor as a playable character = wtf.

Re: Official E3 Thread, zomg!

Well, that girl wasn't very good at Metroid Prime 3. It either means ...
1 - the controller is harder to use than the white guy made it sound, or
2 - the girl really sucks

But I'm guessing it's actually #2, believe it or not. I.e. I am psyched, and I guess I may as well try to get my hands on a Wii sooner rather than later. Because yeah, come November, that sucker is going to be sold out no matter where you go (AGAIN) due to Smash Bros. coming out in early December.

Finally something we didn't already know. Albeit something extremely predictable.

Mario Kart Wii

Wow ... Iwata has a REALLY nasal accent! XD *compared with any of the senseis I've had over the past three years*

Joe, is your AIM "Cyber Fazza"? I am getting on AIM so we can have a chatroom instead of playing Phone Tag through the forums. Interested?

Japanese サラリーマン dads don't have time to cook. It is, in light of the culture, quite surprising.

Re: Official E3 Thread, zomg!

His English vocabulary and command of English grammar is remarkably good for somebody with such a poor accent. Most of my senseis have either had a less advanced vocab (with a similar lack of English accent) or have had his vocab with nigh-on-flawless American English accent. He's really perplexing, this Iwata-san. ^_^;

And did I hear incorrectly (again >>) or did Iwata say Shigs would be introducing a new title? :O

Lol. Reggie just admitted Sunshine sucked.

Maybe we might get Galaxy at the end of December. Probably not.

Yeah, but he strolled dangerously close to neglecting the excellence of NSMB. In my opinion, that is the best Mario game to date, and IT is the true spiritual successor to Super Mario World on the SNES. Mario 64 can go suck Jaxel's left nut. And from the looks of it, so can Galaxy. ¬¬
