Will be 7am here, already at work and drolling

 

[serenewarfare]

The conference starts in the middle of the night. What were they thinking?

They are thinking it takes place in Japan so it had to happen at a reasonable time there.

 

[Oersted]

Read the OP!

WHAT IS READING?

AND WHAT IS AN OP???


sorry

 

[freethoughtbubble]

arlghdgal!@#$

I have a lot of serious work to do today but the hype is too strong, help me gaf

 

[m4st4]

The conference starts in the middle of the night. What were they thinking?

Most likely they forgot about the timezones.

How dare they live in Japan?!?

 

[Lgndryhr]

May I ask how you found this out?

Friends that work at different retailers and a few NOA friends.

So. Switch game preorder pages are up.

Zeldaaaa

 

[OrbitalBeard]

That's so odd being that late in the U.S. 10 AM for me which is my usual Bloodborne session so I'll have the conference on my iPad.

Just 11 PM for part of the US. West-coasters will be watching it at 8 PM. We're full of timezones over here!

 

[rhandino]

I just hope they show the new game in which Monolith Soft is working, I don't care about almost everything else.

 

[Plum]

I'd definitely go with Amazon.

The thing is the GAME order is in-store and I've already put a £20 deposit down; I'd much prefer going at midnight instead of having to worry about shipping. I would never do GAME online.

Will be 5AM in France so don't complain, please, thanks.

 

[Rhuidan]

I'm probably not buying a single game until Zelda but I'm still getting this preordered because I'm a tech whore.

Lucky for you, Zelda is a release game! (99.99%)

 

[SuperSah]

Okay so, someone confirm this for me:

Amazon UK to go live at 6am GMT and 7am BST? This would be absolutely ideal. It'll be an hour after the presentation.

 

[Inferno313]

Right, and it's supposed to kick off a day, and weekend, of hands-on experiences for the media in Japan. It had to be morning/early afternoon in Japan no matter what. It sucks that it's the middle of the night for some of you guys, but from Nintendo's perspective this is the best time-period. Early in the day in Japan, and prime-time in most of NA. The nature of a global live broadcast is that it's going to be in the middle of the night for at least one group, there's not really a way for them to get around that.

That's an announced game, so it makes sense. Didn't see any others.

 

[Oersted]

Posting a picture of your CEO fucking cookie eating before the big conference


Fucking Nintendo lol

 

[LoveCake]

The time this is on in the UK is 4am tomorrow morning, I read that it's live in Japan at 13:00/1pm in the 13th Jan, and that is 04:00/4am 13th Jan here in the UK.

https://greenwichmeantime.com/time-gadgets/time-zone-converter/

It is on at:
13:00 Tokyo (13th Jan)
04:00 London (13th Jan)
23:00 New York (12th Jan)
20:00 Los Angeles (12th Jan)

This is correct isn't it?

Yes, sir.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Who would want that over SFV? Nostalgia junkies? The FGC? Would that appeal en masse to any other group?

SFV only appeals to the same audiences, probably. Has it been a big hit outside the FGC?

 

[HyperHip]

USF2 The Final Challengers? We getting new characters??

Reggie-san is so kawaii :-3

If it's 5am in UK, doesn't that make 6am in France?

 

[eoa-swam]

...shall I preorder again on Amazon after doing so with GAME or risk it with just the latter? I can't afford to mess up and buy two but I don't know how well GAME will be able to fulfill their pre-orders.

Do both. Amazon don't take any money until the product is dispatched.

Just got the email from them saying this.

 

[psyfi]

Is the presentation really four hours long? good lord I hope not, that's really overkill

 

[Eliseo]

it's not.

I expect 60-90 minutes.

Amazon says 7am BST. You have to assume the person who wrote that knows what BST means. I don't know how you confirm it otherwise.

EDIT: fake, found on reddit, no source there

 

[SuperSah]

Yes, sir.

I'm not ready

I'm excited and for some reason kinda stressed about it already. I fear it'll be gone so fucking fast or Amazon will hiccup and crash or something. It's never happened but yeah.

My tactic is to preorder the console first and then check games out after. Getting it into a single order will waste a ton of time.

 

[TwistedFreeze]

LOL Probably not, man. We have no clue how long it's gonna be but it'll probably be around an hour or so long

 

[CharminUltra]

Too late for me

 

[Neiteio]

So do I, and Nintendo has crammed a lot of exhilarating content into relatively short Directs before. But I worry that this won't be like that. I don't know what to expect.

I'm so excited/nervous/terrified.

Hold me.

 

[m4st4]

Anyone still not hyped about the conference?

Sorry, just always wanted to post that (legendary) gif.

[Hero of Legend]

Pretty sure those are fake.

 

[emb]

I can't believe Reggie ate a cookie. I'm so hyped now!

 

[Scrawnton]

Yooo they're not dumb enough to release all those games on the same day.

 

[ManeKast]

This is the most excited I've been for a few decades.....

 

[Okami Haundo]

Can't wait for Kirby and the Scribble Bibble.
