Nintendo Direct thread - February 22

[Valay]

If anyone wants to discuss tomorrow's Nintendo Direct(s), feel free to do so here!

There will be three presentations tomorrow: one for Japan, one for North America, and one for Europe. I'd rather not hype this like some folks have been doing (it's not E3 after all!), but we should be getting some decent news from the event.

Anyone going to be up for the shows? I know I will be... starting at 5 AM EST (want to give myself an extra hour to prepare ).

Edit: Did EU get any Swapnote message?

Dear lord, the Nintendo Direct Neogaf thread is a gold mine. Everybody's been infected with the Reggienator virus. :lol

Edit: And the Ustream window is live. Already at almost 3k views. Wow.

Edit edit: Here's the Nintendo Direct JP page: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n10/nintendo_ ... index.html

tsk tsk, so America-centric, Valay

I'll definitely be watching the Japanese presentation and probably the European one as well (if only to pick up on the information I completely mistranslated in my head).

Will it be worth staying up till midnight to watch the US presentation?

When Reggie did the first Nintendo Direct, there wasn't anything too mindblowing. I think the biggest piece of news was Hulu Plus. Who knows what will happen this time though...

Apparently there seems to be a connection with this Nintendo Direct with G4TV's tease.



Also, the JP presentation is around 2 hours. Even though I can hardly understand Nihongo, I'll watch the JP stream! lol

Edit: According to this man https://twitter.com/#!/sprsk, the presentation will be 2 hours. 1 hour for some interviews/talks, the other hour is for gameplay footage. That's pretty long. Now, what game would they be showing...

Hmm... 2 hours? I don't think it'll be that long, but we'll see. Nintendo's E3 presentations aren't even that long. And I'm not sure if that robot tease is Nintendo related... Again, we'll see.

Ustream display says 20:00-20:54 and 20:54-21:37. Less than 2 hours. lol

Oh yeah, just noticed that. Hmmm... Definitely going to be the longest Nintendo Direct so far... And man, I could use more sleep right now.

aw, I've been napping even though I don't need it to just kill some time

[ehead]

I don't remember posting this, but I really like these Nintendo Direct videos. Its like a primer to start the engine rolling. Anyway, less than 20 mins. to go.

[Valay]

13 minutes now.

Ahaha, I can see that you have not succumbed to sleep. Might as well post a link for an English live blog: http://andriasang.com/con025/nintendo_direct_feb/

Edit: And we have viewers in 5 digits!

It's going to be tough staying up for this. I'm pretty exhausted right now. But it shall be done!
