If the Conference OT is as awesome as the actual Conference is going to (might) be, boy are you guys in for a ride.
 
Are people more afraid, or excited for the chaos that will ensue days before E3? Personally, I'm more afraid :P
The bans, man, the bans. I could lose my cool and BOOM, off GAF. I hope I don't fall for any bait...
As long as you don't consider E3 something to go completely ballistic over, I believe it shouldn't be too difficult to toggle a "seriousness mode" whenever it could be useful. Just use proper language, don't post arbitrary images and don't dive into any troll pits, and you should be fine. Following the general rules isn't that difficult, and the Terms of Service are readily available.

I'm more afraid of how long I'm going to stay up. As I live in Sweden, E3 doesn't start for me until the evening and with Sony's press conference taking place 06:00 PM PST, it means I have to stay up all night. Well, I don't have to stay up or anything as I no longer work with video games, but with little else to do I can at least provide some interesting remarks in whatever threads may pop up.
 
Has there been any signs about what type of game Retro's WiiU game will be or if it will be at this e3?

Not really, but most are speculating that it will likely be a either a new IP, or an older franchise brought back, and geared toward the western audience. People seem to expect Retro to do something more grand, and done kind of like an adventure game, not something small that plays in "corridors".
 
About Your Shape 2013 on Wii U

It's an article detailing how Wii benefited from the novelty of Wii Fit but the situation is different for Wii U with the competition of Kinect & Move, and the necessity for Nintendo to find innovative use from their new system for these kind of software.

We do know of one such game that is coming to the Xbox 360 and PS Move but will also have specific features for the Wii U, and that game is Your Shape 2013. Nintendo should be able to get more creative than ever before by making use of the new tablet controller, as your TV will show the game itself while the tablet will show useful information like what kind of moves you have done, how many calories burned and also how long you have left with your particular workout.

We reported some infos about your shape before so nothing new. Grain of salt & all.
 
I've only spent 1 e3 on gaf and that was as a lurker, bit what I saw last year was amazing so color me excited! That gif thread was what was dreams are made of.

Just rumors (star-fox, zelda, new ip, etc). We think that, whatever it is, it is likely to be there.

I would like to point out that I doubt Retro is going to completely abandon DK (considering how well it sold). I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a DK for the 3DS at E3, but is Retro big enough to be working on two games at the same time?
 
Funny thing about gaf during E3. I wasn't following gaf during last E3, but because everyone talks about how crazy it gets a month or so ago I went and took a look at last year's Nintendo E3 confrence thread. I can tell you that was a pretty hilarious experience, just pure chaos and insanity, I totally understand how people get banned during E3.

I'm kinda afraid. I've used the teacher-student metaphor before, right?

But I'm thankful for these threads, as they are usually the best place for Nintendo-related conversation.. assuming we're not overrun by trolls.

Like I said above, after reading last year's dedicated Nintendo E3 thread, I'm sure you'll pretty much need the Master Sword to get past the amount of trolls coming this way.

Yup. I believe it.
But you can't use the Master Sword that much. You strike back a bit too much, and you're gone. :)
 
Yes, but the graphical stuff in it is gonna be a little different from what you guys already saw.

Does anyone else find the NSMB graphics style ugly?

Why does Nintendo stick to this style?

DS, ok it was nice and all. Wii was bad enough, but Wii U version just makes it look like a Dolphin emulation.

Oh and 3DS version using the same style and not being sprite based annoyed the hell out of me, I was hoping for some crisp 2D Mario World like sprites... :(

It could have very well undergone a nice enhancement for all we know. Better textures, animations. It'll be pretty good.

Most people seem to agree. Good gameplay, but bad art syle. I'm hoping they are planning to show a 2D Mario game that's a bit prettier, whether they change the art stlye or not, it should look a lot better then what they showed last E3, that was pretty much Wii assets they used.
 
Is it coincidence that the shittiest conference spawns the most and the best gifs? Microsoft has been pretty damn good with gifs the last 2 years.

Nintendo 2008 was quite a gif fabric too. Riker GIF from that year is one of my favs of all time :D

Can´t wait for this years gifs.
 
As awesomely crazy as the conference threads always are, I hate them, because they are just too hard to follow. If you try to read every post, you will quickly fall pages behind. Best you can do is skim around and look for something that catches your eye. And realize that if you post something, nobody will ever respond to it, and if they do you most likely won't see the response.

It's cheap and it'll sell 20 million copies even if it looks like a Fisher-Price Mario playset.

Thinking about this I hope there aren't many gifs then, but they're so funny...
 
Metroid Prime would undoubtedly be the better game (than Resident Evil 4) in my mind. Even though i may have enjoyed RE4 more and have replayed it about six times while i only replayed MP once. It's like comparing a movie like Alien to Zombieland. But i played a lot of gems on the Gamecube and Dreamcast.

This gen my vote would go to Xenoblade. The only game that really "had" me.
 
GAF, just a small recap. What first party games for Wii U are officially confirmed by Nintendo so far?

Pikmin 3
Super Smash Bros. 4
...

Zelda, I guess? (Aonuma statements)
Will be New Super Mario Bros. Mii a retail game on its own?

Just Pikimin 3, and a Mario based off of NSMB have been mentioned by Nintendo, and yes the next NSMB game will be retail, because they sell big.

Now i will always have that image in my head when i see reggie :(
 
I don't know if we'll see NSMBMii because they want to sell NSMB2

Heck NSMB2 might have important features that showing NSMBMii at the same time might seem lacking (if it's just more of NSMBWii)
