In a few weeks, this thread will be about no name actors who tweeted they are shooting something secret for nintendo/games company. We will then speculate about what these pretty people where demoing.

No name actors?
Nintendo has been getting some pretty high quality people lately.

It's a broken Photobucket link there too.
Anyways, I was only a member for about three months at the time of that thread when I still lurked more than posted and it was indeed a blast. I've been reading GAF since 2001/2002 (pre Neo) and that is one of my favorite threads ever.
Robin Williams? Who's that..?

Hopefully we hear from a certain pair of Williams soon.

this still hurts sales with people with large families (2.5 kids)
This is why I don't understand why they even show casual stuff at E3. Their audience is a bunch of gaming enthusiasts. No one in the audience cares about that crap, and it just makes your product look bad. Microsoft's Press Conference last year and the year before was a fucking joke.
The audience for casual Wii games (ala 2008) and Kinect games don't even know what E3 is, let alone would watch a press conference. They don't even know what games there are until they see it in the Best Buy flyer a week before it's released.
All I could think of is... investors are watching? ugh.
Oh, I want that soooo bad, any way you can send it to me?
Ah, there you go. Saves me the hell of having to upload that beast of a gif. ;P
Investors and the rest of the Non-Apple-lover press.
I still remember people speculating like crazy about what Zelda Williams was doing for Nintendo and the 25th Anniversary. She'd tweet, and more speculation would ensue.
You're right. E3 might be in 48 days or so, but things usually begin to happen in earnest several weeks before the festivities begin. Interviews, leaks, hints thrown-out.. exciting times are closer than many realize.

There will be party games that can have up to 5 players though, so that'll help with that.
Investors is part of it. Arrogance is another part.
Yes, it's like there's a hole in my heart that could only have been filled with the joy of watching that reveal.
Yeah. That half kid is left high and dry.

That was for a nationwide commercial though. I was thinking along the lines of a video demo/montage. You know, B roll they insert between clips of the actual stuff we want to see.

I forgot the poor dog
I'm not ashamed to admit it: I teared-up a bit when I saw it. I think the crowd's reaction kinda exacerbated my reaction. I remember jumping around the office, hugging the dog, and screaming like a little kid. Then, I must've watched it upteen more times later that day. That moment alone made my E3 that year.
Too bad the crowds that attend these conferences are so uptight these days. You'd never see such an emotional outburst from this year's E3 crowd. Really sad.

Btw, who exactly IS Chris Remo, a gaming journalist who posts on GAF I always assumed right?
edit: Never mind, found the answer to my question.
If you want to see it, just click/copy/tap on the broken Photobucket link and it'll load as long as you put it in a separate browser window.

half kid? Show some respect. It's "mentally challenged"
Retailers are also watching. The platform holders are basically saying, "clear out a bunch of space for us this Christmas, because you're going to be able to sell truckloads of this crap."
See? That might get the crowd to scream again!
(I know I would. Especially if he came out doing yo-yo tricks..)

So who introduces the Anthony Higgs game?
If that is the case then there's no need to even really have an E3 show because your audience probably already knows what you're going to show, and as such there's no reason to waste time and money making trailers that will that will, at best, get a jaded golf clap from the audience.
I haven't confirmed that though. But hardware capabilities wise, the Wii U has the guts to render 4 content, it's just a matter of playing with the resolutions, what the TV shows, etc.
But certainly not 1 720p current gen pretty content + 4 480 intricate (3D scenes) content, and apparently not, in the context that i've so much stressed about, 1 current gen+++ game in 720p + 2 480p current gen other views of it. Even if the rumors of 2 padlets support happen to be true, let's say you play a third-party title on Wii U, if this game feature a cooperative mode, the system won't have the capacities (again in this environment) to render a 720p beautiful game + 2 other views for additional players, it will be 1 pretty 720p content + 1 480p.
Maybe with the final dev kits, with first-parties games, etc, the system will be capable of that.
What happens at 4am?
Well if they show some casual games and a news channel picks up the story, it's basically free marketing. I think that's what they had in mind in 2008, but it pretty much backfired on them.

I hope i'm crystal-clear
And now, it's bed time !!!!!!
I understood what you meant. I was mainly concerned that the original wording would convince somepeople that you literally had to have something akin to 360-level on the TV and then totally flat 2D on the controller screens, like how the Nintendo DS could really only do substantial rendering effects to one screen, and the other had to be incredibly simple (the wikipedia entry on the DS notes this in the "Technical Specifications" section).
Hehe, this chat reminds me of the 8-way split-screen racing game, Speed Zone, where the image quality take successive hits the more multiplayery you make it, but even with eight separate renderings and obviously lower quality, the game is still pretty much the same thing, and it's still rendering the eight "screens".
Imagine split screen fps multiplayer. No more screen looking.

...sigh. Its all over.
Ok, cool, it meanswe can hope for something with 4 Upad for - example - a coop' mode with the TV screen used as the hub/map etc... and the 4 pad screens displaying a 480p visual with complex 3D scene seems to be possible, at least from a rendering point of view. Mmm?

I was 13. Just think about how awesome that must have been.
Investors, retailers, and mainstream news sources all go to E3. The casuals aren't aware of it, but through that audience it can filter down to them rather quickly. I've had relatives who are otherwise unaware of gaming talk to me about E3 announcements within days of Nintendo's conferences, so I think that it does work. Yes it pisses off the enthusiasts, but they need to realize that the press conference show isn't exclusively for them anymore. What Microsoft did with Kinect at their conferences also worked the same way.
Besides, the enthusiasts have the rest of E3 to gleam information from. That's partly why Nintendo still has those quieter roundtables after each conference.

At least THEY acknowledged it and apologized for it. Microsoft sure didn't.
