10.30 - 11.30 GMT + 1 - "Expand the definition of gaming"

Microsoft are on at 15.30 iirc.

Should be interesting if only for more on GB Micro, and according to s*p*o*n*g there'll be something on Nintendo's online implimentation in Europe.

Anything else is a bonus. Just thought I'd post a heads up reminder.

 

[cvxfreak]

Good thing I'm up.

 

[Jonnyram]

Any streams of the event?

 

[radioheadrule83]

[Zeenbor]

Shouldn't news start trickling in any minute?

Edit: Stupid GAF time... It says 12:58 here.... not :43 ... blah

[Fxp]

So, the two Brain Training games are confirmed for US/EUR release?

 

[miyuru]

Dammit I don't want to stay up any later than it is...argh!

There won't be any Rev. news right? Is it expected??

 

[Fxp]

Dammit I don't want to stay up any later than it is...argh!

[Thomper]

Can't imagine any Rev news in a European show, no matter how big it is...

 

[ejdonk]

As I said, I wouldn't expect any Rev News, cause I don't think that the GC is important enough for that, but it's Nintendo, so u never know.

And yes, that brain training games will be at the show floor, so I guess thy're coming to US/EU.

 

[miyuru]

:lol it's 2:30 am for me

EDIT: I don't think there'll be any major Rev. news, but more clues, etc...

 

[Piepz]

It begins!

 

[miyuru]

Woo!

 

[Taker666]

Does anyone have any links to live updates?

 

[Zerodoppler]

Does anyone have any links to live updates?

This show is not big enough for live updates.

 

[OptimusPrime]

Knowing Nintendo....it will start later...they need to find Miyamoto he's playing Zelda again and saying it's not Finished.

May the rats eat your eyes....and he twitches.

 

[neptunes]

I know there wasn't going to be any Rev news, but they're focusing on their online plans at this conference if i'm not mistaken.

 

[Hooker]

Well, at least it's something....

 

[fr4nz]

there's a live update on a french site :

10h44 - Deux présentatrices présentent Nintendogs
10h36 - Le thème de la conférence est la définition du jeu vidéo selon Nintendo !
10h34 - C'est parti pour une heure de conférence Nintendo.

[OptimusPrime]

[ejdonk]

Thx, so that 3 years of french finally pay off.

 

[miyuru]

To translate, the last two entries say the theme of the conference is the definition of games according to Nintendo, and the one after that says two presenters are showing off Nintendogs.

Thx, so that 3 years of french finally pay off.

:lol, it's 12 years of immersion for me

[demi]

Two new colours announced - pink and blue (I'm assuming this is for DS).

Not so much new...but they're coming to Europe!

 

[OptimusPrime]

18,76M NGC, 67,77M GBA SP in the world, the sold ds in Germany is a bit LOW imo? not?

 

[Taker666]

I don't want pink, I don't want blue, I don't want silver.

White please..now (or black at the very least).

 

[cybamerc]

I'll take a blue DS but I would much rather like a white one. Why does only Japan get the nice colors. Any word on when the blue DS comes out?

 

[cvxfreak]

18,76M NGC, 67,77M GBA SP in the world, the sold ds in Germany is a bit LOW imo? not?
