Nintendo: 9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM GMT
G4 (Also on TV)
GameTrailers (HD)
IGN
GameSpot

G4 is your best bet if you can get the channel. It can't really crash and is going to be in pretty good quality. GameTrailers is your best bet if you don't have G4 I think. This is their first year live streaming and they're doing it in HD, so I expect a LOT of traffic there. If it stays up, it'll be the best. However, remember that "HD" for GameTrailers just means 1280x720 with a really bad bitrate. It will still be better quality than any other stream.

Last year, IGN had the best quality stream but it was behind by more than a minute which made talking with others who weren't on the same stream hard. After all, they were already onto the next thing.

GameSpot is usually fairly stable, but crappy quality unless you pay. G4 was my favourite stream overall last year.

I'm really excited for this one. Nintendo HAS to know that their fanbase was not happy over last years...they HAVE to improve on Wii Music, right?

If not, they are failures. I expect a Zelda announcement of some sort, whether a trailer shown during their keynote, or rumblings around the expo. We'll see.

Perhaps we'll get a new Pikmin game, and see something from the Kid Icarus game that has been promised. I hope they can come up with something new as well...who knows?

Probably going to be a fucking shit fest...but we'll see.

[Hans]

I can't really get excited for it for the simple fact that it's the...Wii.

Zelda won't look any better than Wind Waker or TP. Part of the allure of new Zelda titles is seeing them on new hardware for the first time.

The things I would do to the Zelda series would require significantly more powerful hardware.

I bet they'll have 1 or 2 announcements that I'll like (Zelda or Mario), but everything else will be total shit that I won't care about because they're not aiming for the core demographic.

Nintendo press conference begins Tuesday June 2nd at 9AM PST

[seb4]

I have low expectations.

knowing Nintendo, they'll focus their entire show on the Wii Motion Plus, with some Nintendo guys playing Wii Fit Plus and Wii Sports Resort on stage, meanwhile bragging about the success of its prequels, and showing clips of housewives and grandpa's enjoying those games.

then they'll do a videorole of all the upcoming games, which are mostly trash.

the DS will get some attention in the form of Spirit Tracks and Wario Ware Made in Ore.

I dont care about Nintendo either, but I hope they put up some hardcore games for what little I do care. Zelda Wii or something. And then I guess all those Heavy Voltage games.

This is going to be dead on

[TheTone]

[Gek]

As long as they dont let that ugly awkward bitch back on stage it has to be better. All the conferences sucked last year.

Soccer mom ho will be returning, and she is great, btw.

[TheTone]

you just wanna fuck her hans. you filthy dog you.

[dogbowl]

For every one game that gives you hope (A Boy and His Blob) there are 50 that make you angry.

They could make a 2D Metroid on the Wii that would hold up to current gen standards, but they won't. I enjoyed Prime, but it killed the series as far as consoles are concerned. The only chance of 2D is DS. Shame.

If Nintendo focused more on 2D efforts they could pull real gamers back in.

Nailed it.

One guy on Bonus Round was saying the same thing. Their 2D efforts have a long standing history of outclassing the 3D counterparts. Plus development teams would be smaller and games would be cheaper, as well as shortening the development cycle. How the fuck is that not win for both Nintendo, and its fans?

Not really.
Metroid Prime is held as high as Super Metroid.
OOT as high as ALTTP.
Mario Galaxy as high as SMB3/World/YI.


They don't need to revert back to 2D. What they need to do is create new games.
I don't care if they're 2D or 3D.
I don't care if they're handheld or console.

I just want new, big budget titles from the best minds at Nintendo.

Bingo.

Like I said before, if they reveal the next Mario or Zelda on the Wii, it'll automatically make it a better conference than Microsoft.

[olimario]

Video game fans would jizz everywhere if Nintendo EAD TOKYO made a futuristic action/platformer with the Wind Waker engine, a new main character, new locales, new races, new enemies, etc...


Zelda's combat
Mario's controls
FUUUCCKKKKK


but no. It honestly will never happen.

[Sambain]

Can't wait to see what surprises they have in store.

[ocelittle]

Fuck, I won't be able to watch LIVE.

Fucking mother fucker.

[TheTone]

There is nothing dumb about that, Baten Kaitos was one of the best jap rpg's of last gen. I doubt we'll ever see another one though.

+1 for your great taste in RPG's.

[FancieBombJack]

If Nintendo made a 3D platformer based on the original Donkey Kong series, it would be the greatest game of all time. Mario climbing huge vertical structures, battling a classic Nintendo villain, jumping over bump mapped barrels, doing acrobatic maneuvers...

I dunno why it's never happened. Nintendo am stupid.
