And don't forget 1AM Japan time (we don't have daylight savings~).

I'm so excited. I hope they announce the title for the new Zelda game. Looking forward to any news about Pikmin 3 and a few others as well.

E3 only shows games that get an international release right?

according to vooks the Australian times are:
EST: 2:00am, June 16
CST: 1:30am, June 16
WST: 12:00am, June 16

Which agrees with what Tsuchinoko is saying because Japan is closest to CST (Adelaide, Darwin).

@skywake yup! and we only have one time zone, so this kind of stuff is really easy for us to figure out. ;)

Just wondering, they don't announce japan-only games do they? just ones that get an international release?

"The 3DS alone warrants the best E3 Conference "
Assuming they do not screw it up badly, like not having the option for DSi owners to move their downloadable content from that system to the new one.

I do not own a DSi, but I am going to feel bad for those that did purchase stuff on that system.

@Waveboy Didn't Nintendo hint that they were working on a Luigi's Mansion 2 months back? I could have sworn they already announced at least some ideas they were working on.

WaveBoy said:

@Atlantis1982...How would 'that' screw up the system badly? I'm not interested in backwards compatibility, my excitement and hope lays in the 3D technology. If Nintendo didn't allow DSi Content on the 3DS, that wouldn't be that big of a deal. Personally i could care less, after all that's what the DSi is for. If anything, I'm more interested in a handheld Virtual Console. That aside, the 3D is what's going to be truly exciting :D

All i want out of all this is a wireless nunchuck for wii so when i get a wii i can be all wireless, More Footage for Sonic Colors, Pikmin 3, and the announcement of virtual console on 3DS. (I don't see why people want to transfer dsiware to 3DS. wouldn't that just make the dsi useless?)

Well if they can not do something so simple as this, try to imagine their plans for the next console, or anything related to a possible robust of their lackluster online infrastructure (and do not blame friend codes).

The past has taught me one thing: Never get TOO excited for E3. You'll only run into disappointment. I set my expectations to an absolute 0, so I won't be disappointed this time 'round.

Has anyone heard the rumor that they've shown a really short video of Miyamoto playing a cel-shaded Zelda with MotionPlus?
There goes the rumor-mill again :)

Yes, but it's hard to believe.
Miyamoto said the game's visuals would not be radically different from Twilight Princess.

I am 'N64 Kid' on Christmas morning; I could not be any more excited about E3.

C'mon Nintendo, hit me full on with a massive bombshell, maybe not a Megaton!, but leave me beaming. Make 3DS as powerful as a GameCube and include a first party big-hitter announcement with it. Treat me with a Wii Star Fox, or F-Zero announcement. Make the new Zelda to be jaw dropping, not just visually, but with new gameplay additions (have a concept as fundamentally brilliant as Galaxy's gravity).

You are a good man @Corbie, I appreciate your coverage. Good luck, have fun and "Cheers"! :)

OMGZZZ....I still haven't slept. Yikes! Anyways extremely excited. All I can think about is the 3DS, what it's going to look like, how the 3Dwill look, Reggies big menacing goof ball smile, Zelda Wii, unknown suprises....and Cathy Dunway, oh no.lol

Also, I'm very curious if the 3DS's little graphical power rumor is true. Almost as powerful as the PS3/360?...I don't think so, But I think it may be more powerful than the Wii

skywake

skywake said:

hmm... Interesting influx of Zelda rumours. To be perfectly honest I wouldn't mind if all of them are true. Cell Shaded Zelda on Wii going into the backstory of the master sword and featuring a blurring of what is a dungeon and not? count me in on that! Then again, count me in on ANY Zelda!

Apparently there is a way to speed up time. What you do is create a "time bubble" which you can, theoretically, then use to travel faster than the speed of light in by moving in a "wave" of time. Unfortunately though said time bubble hasn't been invented yet and nor has greater than speed of light travel.

So I guess we'll just have to make do by using the traditional time wasting methods. Something that I am sure everyone here excels at given this is a Nintendo fan site. :D

Zelda looks really cool but I'm a bit worried about the controls. I don't mind that the game will come out in 2011. It gives Nintendo time to polish up the controls.

What an amazing presentation. Was there something we can nickpick on? Anything? Even the Just Dance 2 only got 30 seconds of time. Otherwise, that was all perfect.

Thank you Nintendo... I owe you one.

Burny said:

Nah, 3DS doesn't look better than most Wii games. Oh, you're talking 3rd parties? Yes it does (sadly).

About Gamecube level graphics I'd say. That Kid Icarus needed a little bit of spit and polish (that it'll doubtless get), but on such a small screen? Yes, please! :D

Klapaucius said:

@182
Well, yeah, obviously not quite on the level of SMG2 or Other M :P
I'd say it was a little above GCN graphics.

So glad I havn't upgraded to DSi. I'll wait for 3DS.

OMG. Nintendo NAILED this e3 out of the park! :D

I was blown away by the new Kirby and Donkey Kong especially. The new zelda looks absolutely fantastic. I love different types of motion controls and it's more colorful and surreal look compared to Twilight Princess Mickey Mouse looks great! Golden Eye 007 , and Kid icarus! on the freakin 3DS!!!!! I'm just dieing to hear impressions on the 3D and graphics. I was suprised though at how similar it looked like the DS. Graphics wise, Kid Icarus Uprising looked like a GCN title, definitly not better than the Wii, alittle weaker I'd say. Especially if you're comparing it to the new Kirby and Donkey Kong which both blew my mind graphically! Anyways, better than i expected!

3DS start games: Metal Gear Solid, Kid Icarus, Saint Rows, Batman, Assassin's Creed, Kingdom Hearts and a Team Ninja game.

Kinect start games: Metal Gear Solid, Adrealin Misfits, Star Wars, Sonic Free Riders, Kinectimals and a bunch of other Wii carbon copies released 4 years ago.

Nintendo rules this expo.

That was an incredible show, it was a new brilliant announcement rapid-fire presentation. Loads of quality for gamers, for me personally it was packed with future 2D classics. 3DS looks set to live up to expectations.

Nintendo's feed was impeccable, it's still discussing Zelda: Skyward Sword.

Nintendo, I take my hat off to you. :)

Bigdog said:

@198 yes, that WiiParty could be a sleeper. Using the wimote like that, and using its speakers is something Nintendo should have done ages ago. I can see me and friends playing with this after a poker night or something for sure. Or like on a date night.

@198 Too many awesome titles. I figure Nintendo is thinking: "If we can't have this game out by the next E3, why announce it?" It makes sense, too. Why take out the thunder from other games that should come out within the next 12 months when your lineup and conference is already packed?

Gotta say, that Icarus game coming out for the DS instead of the Wii took me by surprised. DK and Kirby looked better than even the best I could have imagined. (That "sundown" stage looked incredible.)

Marvelousmoo

Marvelousmoo said:

Goldeneye looked awesome! I like how all the other consoles focus on FPSs with great graphics and online stuff, but Nintendo throws in a bit of everything including FPSs with fun multiplayer. Nintendo makes games that are fun, not games that just look cool. Kinect is cool, but Microsoft didn't use it right. All that it is good for is fitness games. The sports ones look boring and the kinectimals made me want to gouge my eyes out. The 3DS really out shined Kinect.

Bigdog

#201

Bigdog said:

@200 May still get it. That commercial teases a possibility for all major franchises for the 3DS. Good thing Nintendo is looking at this is a true next gen system, which means we will get all the hotness.

Again, too much awesome. Nintendo FTW!

CanisWolfred said:

Well, I have to say, this year wasn't nearly as depressing on the Nintendo Side of things as the last two years were. I was actually interested in quite a few titles, and the 3DS was much more impressive than I expected. I can't wait for the new Donkey Kong Country game, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually very excited for the new Kirby and Metroid games. I guess Microsoft more than made up for the disappointment, though.

Still, no new F-Zero, no new Pikmin, and no new Starfox. Oh well, there's always next year...
