Time zone?

Oooh sweet!

The Article doesn't says 20:00 so that's 8:00pm in japan meaning around 10:00 or 11:00pm east coast in america. Hopefully its either translated or andriasang decides to liveblog it.

20:00:00 Friday October 21, 2011 in Japan converts to 07:00:00 Friday October 21, 2011 in US/Eastern

Interesting.
Hopefully some good news comes out of this.

Thanks. I may have gotten it confused with the Level 5 event last week.

update on the Ambassador program please

I'd love to know when those GBA games will arrive

Ambassador details would be nice.
Also pretty interested to hear what they have to say about Mario Kart 7 and the November update.

The best thing they could possibly announce is some sort of messaging system so you can actually contact people on your friends list, but I won't hold my breath.

Looks like the update is coming to europe November fourth.

I think the update and Mario Kart 7 are linked closely because of how you can check your friend's status while they are playing MK7 on the friend's list (such as VR rating).

I hope the update brings messaging too. The 3DS notification light can glow orange steady (not blinking) to show that you have a message. Maybe they can add a "mail" icon on the bottom right of the touch screen on the home menu.

Least, that's what I'm envisioning.

ohhh sehr gut

Luckily, it starts before I have to go to my community college Friday morning. So, I will be getting up at about 5:50 CDT to watch and get ready for my morning class.

Here is what I want Iwata to reveal:

• Add StreetPass people to your friend list
• Allow us to transfer our purchased Wii Virtual Console titles to the 3DS
• Announce more GBC games, and more systems in general
• Flash support for the internet browser
• Youtube app
• Allow us to save different types of image files from the browser, not just JPEG images
• Message and IM people on your friend list
• Yahoo Messenger, AIM, etc. apps
• Update the eShop so games are organized better. Give 3DS games, DSiWare, VC games, etc. their own separate sections (like how it is on the Wii Shop).
• Automatically sort Home Menu icons (by name, by type, by most played, etc.)
• Allow us to group downloaded software in folders (3DS games, DSiWare games, VC games, etc.)
• Longer recording time for sound and video (at least 5 minutes)

I read about this far only to realize that your asking for way, way too much.

The Mail would be found in the Notifications folder (where SpotPass and StreetPass notifications are found)

I was going to suggest that but it's better for it to be separate unless there's a sub-menu in it for mail/inbox, then yes, that'd work perfectly, actually.

My hopes for Friday:

-November update will have a really great new Streetpass game (that uses the Mii's like the rpg game). Also video recording shown off & E-shop will have demos! Here's hoping. :

-More Animal Crossing info!

-Suprises! Demos at update time (Super Mario 3D Land!), upcoming 3DSware shown, cool upcoming Gameboy game, Oh and hey, when are those Ambassdor games coming out? And what are the other five? Etc.

Here's hoping for some good stuff!

Monster Hunter Tri G will be released in NA on November 10th before Japan's date for some bizarre reason.
(...then I wake up, lol)

I dunno, probably will talk about the big update and the GBA games.

Yeah that will never happen. Capcom hasn't even said if the game is releasing outside of Japan.
