Just a matter of time until we get a Lego Mario game. My idea:

Lego vs. Paper Mario RPG. The Lego's are evil (think mirror universe from Star Trek). Yep, I could be down with something like that.
 
There is no L sound in the Japanese language.

Then again, there is no R sound, either. It's kind of in-between. It almost sounds like D.
I always thought it sounded more like L, hence lip my stockings in lost in translation. Native japanese I know pronounce L more correctly than they ever do with r.
 
Erm, I thought they couldn't pronounce the 'l' sound, hence jokes like, "I rike it, I rike it a rot!"

But, they're better are being ninjas than us 'Muricans.

The r-l hybrid sound has been hardwired into their brains. It's very hard to undo decades of wiring. My Japanese teacher has been in the US for decades, and even she slips up frequently.


How would one say "Larry" in English, being Japanese?

I assume it's ラリー (Rarii)

10 more minutes! HYPE

To me, it kind of sounds like the Spanish pronunciation of r. Not the rolling R sound at the beginning of words, the other more subtle one (like in the word "raro"). At least, that's how I get through it in Rosetta Stone. lol

"approx. 30 minuets in length"

I'm guessing just new footage from announced games. No new game announcements.

It'll be entirely about the Slide Pad Pro LL for 3DS XL.

Then at the end Iwata drops the bomb: Trigger Pad Pro for Wii U gamepad, adds a tertiary pair of analog triggers below ZL and ZR.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Zero new games of any kind. Minimal new footage of early 2013 titles, 3DS and Wii U. Handful of dates.

Sooo shit like Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion 2, Pikmin 3, Aliens, Lego City, Wii U Fit, yadda yadda.
