ARRRRGGG! I CAN'T!!! I have to work until 5 hours from now and when I do get home my girlfriend's brother and his family will be there staying over for a few days. But my girl being a big Nintendo fan like me said that she'll have the laptop and a 6pack for me in the bedroom so I can enjoy the conference spoiler free and isolated. In other words I'm about to go on blackout until then. Enjoy the show though and I'll be posting more in WiiU threads in the future.
I doubt it but it certainly does look like a mash up of characters
I think I got it
The Nintendo way, let the player explore the game world, or developers the system

Yeah it definitely has tessellation capabilites, but the question has been is it old (which would put that area on par with 360) or is it using a current tess unit.
Damn, wasn't fast enough.
I'm so envious of your sources.

watching the spike/gametrailers stream... looking good so far, we'll see how it holds up when the actual conference begins
Reggie's laugh is amazing
It's Smash Bros Brawl.

God this Galaxy hype music is not what my expectations needed right now.
But I can't stop listening.

I only hope it doesn't make the NSMB:U reveal less impactful. Because Melty Molten and Buoy Base are making me hype.

Looks like a yellow Pikmin in that laptop bag next to him.

Gametrailers stream did that for me too just now. It didn't yesterday at all.
Are we going to see something really mature?
Yeah 1000 Ways to Die can be brutal.

Where is this from?!
Predictions: The Final Countdown
- Confirmation of only 1 Wii U game pad support
- Console box will be shown
- No multiple SKUs
- White & Black launch colors
- Wii remote & nunchuck won't be bundled with console
- 720p will be standard resolution (Nintendo may just not admit it since 1080p has mostly been a buzzword)
(may get 1080p for New SMB Wii U & Wii U Mii-based titles)
- 99% of third-party current-gen multiplatform titles will look identical
- No Zelda Wii U
- Pikmin 3 trailer (but the visuals won't be as stylized as we would have liked)
- NFC tech demo
- Aliens: Colonial Marines demo/trailer
- Darksiders 2 demo/trailer
- No Super Smash Brothers news (at least no screens or footage)
- Mii complication Wii U title will be offered as a bundled freebie
- Monolith Soft title a no-show
- Retro Studios teaser trailer (not a launch title)
- Can't quite decide if 3DS Zelda 3DS will be there or not. If it is, then it likely means half of the Zelda team was making it (like they did with Spirit Tracks) until Skyward Sword's development was completed. (The DS Zelda titles were announced at GDC)
- New Super Mario Brothers Wii U will be the first packaged game to be offered as an optional downloadable title.
- Second-party mystery title published by Nintendo (let it be Eternal Darkness 2)
- No Fire Emblem localization news
- May have to wait until hardware discussion conference for confirmation of Wii game data transfer to Wii U via SD card
- Confirmation of Virtual Console's return
- May have to wait until hardware discussion for possible GameCube virtual console support/HD collection
- No F-zero announcement
- Wii gets price cut

Link to his twitter please

Anyone born during our year is going to be erased from the hype!
And that is TOTALLY a Pikmin next to Iwata!

No additional functions
I just went back and watched the Nintendo Direct video again. Here are some summaries I haven't seen people talk about alot:
- E3 will focus almost entirely on Wii U. Sounds like there will be some 3DS stuff, but the main focus will be Wii U.
- Wii U gamepad is a fully independent TV remote
- Showing asymmetrical gameplay at E3.
- No delay when streaming to the Wii U gamepad
- Most memorable experiences on Wii was playing together. They think the Wii U will expand that. Hopefully they'll be as successful as Wii.
- Post screenshots and content to others, even for for non-online, single player games
- ZombieU, Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong and Yoshi icons were present on the Miiverse title screen. Is this a hint that we'll see all of these games? I think so, but maybe not all of them this year.

Probably old knowing Nintendo, but they'll use it like it was new.
