I still lean toward 2GB.
It's based on ES 2.0 from what I remember.
Haha. Plus they are the early specs anyway so it's not like it's megaton-level news.

In an unexpected turn of events right before the conference, someone has leaked full details of the early target specs. And I've just been sent the link. Have fun Tech-GAF.

And based on some of what I was told I can tell these are legit.

have no idea what any of this shit means

Whoa, whoa...
I came back here first time since yesterday to find that the Microsoft and Sony conferences have already happened? Didn't Sony and MS used to wait till E3 actually started to do those?
I know I didn't just imagine Sony's conference traditionally happening on the same day as Nintendo's..
My non-specific action figure is ready.

retro presents: FIRST PERSON SHOOTER: WAR FIGHTING EDITION: DARK OPERATIONS
I thought the same thing, but after that it is rated E (which means for everyone, doesn't it?)

Wow, no wonder a lot of devs had no idea what the actual power of the system would be. No frequencies, bandwidth, ALU, ROP info, really all they had to go on was how the system was performing with the code they were putting into it.

If I was talented, I'd make a gif of Olimar throwing a Pikmin out of an area labeled "Conference Thread" and into an area labeled Speculation Thread.

I'm excited, but trying to not expect too much with their WiiU software reveal.
Nintendo is generally pretty conservative with their software reveals, tending to only show games that are coming out in the near future. That would essentially rule out a 3D Mario, Smash Bros. and Zelda from the outset, since we already have a 2D Mario for the system, Smash won't come out for years and Zelda only came out last year for Wii. You can probably count out Kid Icarus too.
Then there's all its other IPs. We might see Kirby, but that itself has received three entries in the past two years. Metroid hasn't been able to maintain its popularity since its revival in 2002. F-Zero is virtually dead in the water. Same goes for Mother.
Which means I can really only be confident about a few franchises being shown off. Namely Pikmin, 2D Mario, Donkey Kong, Animal Crossing and maybe Mario Kart. Which isn't bad at all, but it wouldn't be OMG huge.
Hence why I'm really hoping for some surprises, whether that be new IPs or dead franchise revivals (ie F-Zero).

Quoted from Wikipedia. If I'm to understand this right, ES 2.0 is compatible with API code from OpenGL 4.1 and up? I mean, it has a dedicated tessilator, so that is no longer my worry. And it supports some pretty HIGH high-res textures. Along with the ability to do 16x anisotropic filtering and 4x MSAA, that's pretty damned ahead of this gen.

I really hope Retro's next game is shown, and that it's not a DKCR2.

I believe rumours were that its a new IP, and aimed towards to the ps360 crowd "core audience".
Nice. I've listened to that episode 8-4 several times now and it's still funny.

It'd hardly be a disaster if it was though. Can never have too many platformers, particularly not those with as much brilliance as DKCR.
I'm actually expecting to see some kind of DK game, whether it be from Retro or not. It's been two years since Returns and that game basically revitalised the series into the sales-monster it was in the 16-bit era.
Hey WUST-GAF, I've read all of your threads beginning to end and though I rarely posted it's been fun getting hyped with you guys from the other side of the monitor. I hope that the conference is so good that you'll find that your bodies, despite what you thought, were not ready. Cheers!

I'm torn between using the Nintendo stream or the Gametrailers one. The GT live feedback is rather interesting to watch.
Stick with the Nintendo stream! Last year they had all sorts of post-conference extras, like an Ask Iwata video, developer interviews, and such.

Listening to the Pikmin soundtrack is relaxing me.
Nintendo's stream just asked for my birthday. Big blue screen.

I thought my body was ready, I'm no longer certain.

I'll blame you if this happens and takes up 10 minutes.
