im looking sooooo damn forward to this i cant wait to see the new wii wii games and 3ds games and the game retro studios is working on and the game rockstar games are goanna make for the new wii and this is the best week of the year literaly

Nope, not figuratively. Literally.

If I have trouble watching the Nintendo E3 site's live stream, this is where I'll be sticking around.

The chat is screwing up

I hope the e3 site will work on my wii because my laptop has no sound

I don't want this Cafe thing to be released soon, I'm still not finished playing with my Wii!

But I must admit, I'm curious as hell. But also dubiuous - I doubt it will be as revolutionary as Wii.

The wait is killing me!

Flash Gordon confirmed for launch ok thats just my idea

We-we-we so excited
We so excited
We gonna have a ball today

Go E3! I'm gonna be watching the show on the internet! WOOT!

I hope Miyamoto doesn't have any more on-stage technical mishaps this time.

Come on nintendo announce something amazing for 3ds as ps vita while not as good as 3ds is still much stronger competiton than the psp ever was.

I put 90210 as my zip code and on the eshop i bought super mario land and i did not have to pay tax! ha ha

I wish I had some Popcorn and Soda. Instead I'm stuck with a mars bar. lol Anyways, 40 more minutes! Christmas morning can't even compare muhaha.

This is going to be Nintendo's best E3 ever!
Long as Cathy Dunway doesn't go near the stage i think we'll be fine. That loony toon needs to be dipped in Cartoon Acid.

So glad you're doing liveblog again. I just got called into work (and by the time I get settled the conference will be mostly over. I wonder if this works on teh iphone.

@*Wariowoods
Aside from the glitchy Skyward Sword presentation was I the only one laughing every time Miyamoto silently said "oop! oop!" every time he killed a spider with his sling shot.lol

30 Mins. to showtime. B)

Can't wait for this! I'm predicting we get 20 minutes of 3DS info, 10 minutes of Wii info and 15 minutes of Cafe info, in that order. No Cafe price and only a rough release date, like second half of '12 or middle of '12.

@Token_Girl It does!

@WaveBoy Cammie Dunaway doesn't work for Nintendo now, so rejoice!

Fire Emblem, oh Fire Emblem. Please, let it be so!

Oh I know, I just wanted to poke some more fun at her.lol
And aghhhhhhh, if the live stream lags on me I am seriously going to cry man tears!

how many points you guys have at the trivia right now?

Five minutes to go! So excited, can't wait!

Monster Hunter 3ds pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeezeeee! Oh, and only 4 mins left till start!

stream started! YAY POPCORN!

@waveboy I totally do hope that my internet wont do the same. 2.5 MINS!

OMG!!!! I'm gonna watch the live stream though, but I'll check in NL as well, for exchange of impressions etc.! After all, we have a great community here!

Have a nice show!

1 minute!

Stream Started!? not for me!
Should be any second now.

I'm gonna sit back and watch, so good luck to yall!

WOOHOO!!! I GOT MY BEERS READY!!

I am pumped for this show. Bring it on!

The live stream starts! ZOMG indeed!

It may be 12 in the morning for me and I do have to get to my college in the morning, but I'll be here all night. This will all be _hopefully worth it. Please Nintendo, Don't disappoint!

Seems Nintendo's E3 stream isn't loading, no surprise really. Still have this though I suppose, but I really wanted to watch it.

Links awaking!!!!!!!

Four Swords Adventures game just announced for DSi! World-wide symphony planned including soundtracks awared to the first people who register Ocarina of Time 3D first on Club Nintendo.

Nintendo's official stream is so bloody quite! I can barely hear them talking.

Anyone else having problems with the sound while watching the Nintendo E3 presentation?

Anyone else having problems with the sound while watching the Nintendo E3 presentation?

I had trouble with the sound being way too quiet on ign and g4tv. Joystiq's sound is louder, so try that if you're having issues.

omg that screen they're showing the videos on is awesome

Awesome trailer with several games just shown, including Mario Kart 3DS, Star Fox 64 3D, Mario 3D, Kid Icarus: Uprising, and Luigi's Mansion!

Okay, sounds like they fixed the sound. (I'm watching on the Nintendo website.)

Did I just see a Donkey Kong Country Returns track in Mario Kart 3DS?!

Luigi's Mansion 3DS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG kid icarus meets yugioh IN 3D!

Awesome Kid Icarus game trailer shown, including new characters and AR cards revealed!

The video is currently borked.

Luigi's Mansion 2 is a dream come true, and it looks amazing! Reggie said that there will be more than one mansion! The rooms especially look better than ever.

before NES games?!

wait, so it's the Wii U the controller? not a new console
WOW

still WOW

Wii U controller looks like a classic controller with a screen, but it's cool! It can switch the play over to its screen from a TV, and the trailer blew my mind! Iwata is explaining the controller built in.

SUPER SMASH BROS.!!!!!!

Super Smash Bros 4 to be made for both Nintendo 3DS and Wii U! Even though Wii U might have been more suited, hooray for compromise!

wait. did he say smash bros on Wii U AND 3DS ??? oh man, that makes my day

Wii U is looking pretty awesome so far!

Wii U is going to cost so much and I don't even what to think about buying a second controller.

AVP!

I just saw the logos for Kirby Wii and Mario Party 9 pop up on the giant screen! Mario Party 9 must be for Wii U.

While I hoped to see Monster Hunter and a new metroid, I can't exactly say I'm dissatisfied.

looks cool just hope its about 150

I honestly don't know what to think of this thing. I am left with more questions than answers.

I don't know what to think either....All I know is that the name is utterly dreadful...Wii U!?.....Worst console name in the history of consoles I'd say.lol just terrible.

And a glorified I-Pad?....What really pissed me off was that 'hardcore' trailer with Batman, Ninja gaiden III and those other dark gritty violent games, and the ones that were first person clearly didn't make use of Pointer controls...the aiming looked clunky. I HOPE nintendo didn't abonden motion controls, aka the wii remote. in ways this seems like a step backwards.

I hate the design, ugh i'm just dissapointed with it. Zelda Wii U looked amazing though..And especially that Bird demo...just amazing, that is if it really was in-game.

And what's the deal with NSMB U? it looks like NSMBWii graphically!? Not to mention those demo's looked like crap as well.

Does anyone think that a controller like this will allow for 3rd part controllers to be made? I usually only buy 1st party controllers anyway, but companies like Mad Catz always seem to make controllers.

What happened to the promised "new experiences on Wii"?? I was expecting some damn Wii games, since WiiU doesn't exist yet! Barstewards.

E3 felt awful, nothing spectacular and you hardly saw the new console, just the dam controller. The bird video looked stunning, almost realistic even. I think they could've done better with this, I'm left with more questions than actual answers.

Also the Wii U games that were shown seemed mainly FPS oriented or fighting. Also I couldn't help but feel the developers kept saying "Nintendo finally made a powerful console our games will actually work on!!"

i'm freaking out!!!

"Also I couldn't help but feel the developers kept saying "Nintendo finally made a powerful console our games will actually work on!!"

Well it's true. Developers like EA were getting tired of watering down their games for the Wii.

Tekken for Wii or Wii U?!

I did see it live and I think it was a nice briefing! I liked that they started with the orchestra and that they showed different scenes of Zelda's history (though it's still not 100% confirmed if Skyward sword is orchestrated). I like the gold wiimote. I don't like that the Skyward sword footage was that short, but they already have solved this loss by actually releasing a trailer now.

Then the very cool 3DS intro, wich also gave away that a new Luigi's mansion was coming. Then nice footage of Mariokart 3DS (hangglider looks fun), Some truly awesome looking Mario bros 3D footage. Nice looking Kid Icarus game with cool cards. And then a new Luigi's mansion, wich also looked very nice.

Then....the wii u. Dissapointed at first. Stupid name. Just a tablet-like handheld that connects with your television, though it has some interesting uses. Wiimote becomes secondary. Bird-demo looks strong though. Nintendo games look terribly weak, with the exception of a Zelda, though I guess that's just a demo. But then....HARDCORE third-party games that look pretty good. Third-party games you would normally never see on a Nintendo console! There is hope for the future, though there is no indication yet that this console is stronger then PS3 or Xbox360. Oh, and Nintendo announced a new Super smash brothers game for wii u (wich is cool) AND 3DS and they can be connected. I wonder though: Will it be 2 different games, or 2 different versions. And how will look the one in comparison with the other.

And it's also a pity that Skyward sword was the only wii game shown!
