[Nintendo Conf 9:05] Running a little late to the Twitters, but here goes. Full orchestra & chorus performing Zelda music to montage.
[Nintendo Conf 9:07] It might just be me, but the strings sound a little flat... Assuming we are starting off with Skyward sword.
[Nintendo Conf 9:09] Some new footage from Skyward Sword, it looks pretty...and HD... :)
[Nintendo Conf 9:15] Miyamoto, the irrepressible spirit joy :) Some 25th Anniversary news, Link's Awakening on GBA virtual console today
[Nintendo Conf 9:16] Ocarina of Time for 3DS next week, Zelda Four Swords available for DS for FREE, Skyward Sword for Wii this year...
[Nintendo Conf 9:18] Zelda 25th Anniversary concerts to tour the world in the fall
[Nintendo Conf 9:19] 20 minutes in and its still a Zelda love-fest. I'm not complaining :)
[Nintendo Conf 9:22] Iwata on the stage eating some crow about how Wii met a new market, but didn't really satisfy the old market
[Nintendo Conf 9:24] AHHH, Tease! Details for new console will be available at the end of the press event, of course... :)
[Nintendo Conf 9:26] Reggie now out on the stage, presumably to defend the somewhat lackluster 3DS sales.
[Nintendo Conf 9:27] New Mariokart for 3DS with a new hang-gliding, underwater, and monster truck experience
[Nintendo Conf 9:30] StarFox 64 for 3DS with tilt controls... eh, this is not new stuff. People's faces show up in multiplayer. Sept release
[Nintendo Conf 9:32] New 3D Mario game, Super Mario 3D. That's what 3DS needs to boost sales. Looks like Mario Galaxy style.
[Nintendo Conf 9:34] Some new Kid Icarus footage, reveal of a multiplayer arena combat mode. Not co-op...
[Nintendo Conf 9:37] New Luigi's Mansion for 3DS. Pretty solid 1st party line-up for 3DS this holiday.
[Nintendo Conf 9:40] Montage of 3rd party 3DS games, didn't see anything strikingly new.
[Nintendo Conf 9:41] Virtual Console coming to 3DS, free Excite Bike, and a Pokedex for 3DS with sole purpose of collecting AR card pokemon
[Nintendo Conf 9:47] Woah, what, what!?!? New console controler is basically a PSVita, games on a portable, then interact with console.
[Nintendo Conf 9:48] New console is Wii U. iPad like controller, dual analogs, 6.2 screen, can switch to screen from TV, motion, touch, 8-0
[Nintendo Conf 9:51] Not replacing the Wii-Mote, really replacing the classic controller. Handles video by wireless transmitting.
[Nintendo Conf 9:53] The big thing, however, is this isn't designed to be a portable console. Just takes rendered video from Wii.
[Nintendo Conf 9:54] But does have web-browsing, video chat, etc. This really feels like a direct challenge to iPad in the living room
[Nintendo Conf 9:56] Wait, not it sounds like WiiU can also play portable games!?! New Smash Bros for 3DS & WiiU. Interesting...
[Nintendo Conf 9:59] No word yet on whether WiiU console thingy will include an HD update to the Wii itself.
[Nintendo Conf 10:00] Want to keep playing that Wii game when you get into bed? :) I see so many possibilities for this destroying sleep.
[Nintendo Conf 10:04] Hahahaha, Ken Levine and I think alike :)
[Nintendo Conf 10:06] Show games for next console. All look very HD & very next gen. Darksiders 2? Yes please :)
[Nintendo Conf 10:08] EA head now out on the stage. Time to repair the strained relationship with 3rd party developers?
[Nintendo Conf 10:08] Interesting to think that once again you might actually have the same game releasing for all consoles...
[Nintendo Conf 10:11] Wow, showing Battlefield 3 for WiiU? Not sure this thing is going to be out in that kind of a timeframe
[Nintendo Conf 10:15] And with that, it's over?? Still didn't say anything about the actual console update, but we can assume it's powerful
[Nintendo Conf 10:19] Nintendo left more questions than answers, but WiiU looks frikkin exciting. Here's knowing it won't be at PAX :(
