I sorely missed charts not being in Microsoft's conference yesterday.

Everybody needs a good pie chart to get their teeth into.

One person at E3 yesterday said when asked what's being announced said "Oh it's Wii HD". I really doubt it, but he did sound like he knew.

I'm posting this now so I can say "first" later. Or just delete it.

I'm going to bet that Nintendo's conference will be as crushingly disappointing as last year's apart from the announcement of a new Mario and Zelda game. Half of it will consist of boring charts, graphs and slides showing how successful and amazingly popular the Wii is worldwide, how it is doing so much better than the competion and how wonderful Nintendo really are. I think I'm going to skip the live presentation and just read the highlights for that reason. I'm confident there won't be many. :P

P.S. I *am* deeply excited at the prospect of playing a new Zelda and Mario game before anyone accuses me of hating Nintendo.

Super Mario Graph!

No, seriously, I expect: Pikmin 3; Zelda Spirit Tracks; Wii Fit Plus; more on Wii Sports Resort; a new Mario game, which I reckon will be more Paper Mario than Mario Galaxy; another casual franchise; some brand new DSi titles; that Ubisoft camera; and, er, something else.

I'd LOVE IT if they announced a brand new "proper" Mario game, where you could have split screen Mario & Luigi co-op.

Oh god I'm so hyped. My heartbeat is skyrocketing. I literally can't wait to watch this and then get online to vomit hundreds of pages of text on every messageboard saying how incredibly bumfucked I feel and how Nintendo am doomed.

Going to miss this sadly.

Can't wait to see what they have. After MS yesterday this is shaping up to be the best E3 in years.

Ninnty to out do M$? -- Console less gaming -- The new "exercise" game = Go out side and actually play sports, talk to real people and really get your hands wet while tickling a trout.

Chat up ten year old boys! Give them pictures you've drawn! Ask them why they look sad and not to tell their mummies!

Feel kinder sorry for Nintendo having to follow Microsofts conference yesterday, everything they show is gonna look dated in comparison. They could do alright, you never know.

Two words, "sales"; "charts".

New Mario, New Zelda. Some stuff about DSi and WMP. And something completly out of the blue that we weren't expecting.

From a tech POV they have been looking dated for a few years now. Doesn't seem to be a problem.

They could just give everyone $10k and ask them to make some stuff up that sounds good - it's not like they haven't got the money.

It'd probably work too.

Everything is going to look dated and not as good, but at least Nintendo are ROLLING AROUND IN ENORMOUS VATS OF MONEY.

It's Sony I feel sorry for.

(sorry, that seems a bit fanboy baiting; I actually like the look of the PSP Go - does that help?)

Hoping for: A new Mario, one of the classic franchises like Starfox/ Kid Icarus/ F-Zero to get a new game.

Expecting: A train-wreck like last year.

Has anyone realised the relative pointlessness of the Nintendo E3 conference? The people they're talking to at the conference, both the reporters there and those like us reading about it, aren't the same people who are driving most of the sales.

Unless this time around they really do address the hardcore market, it's all just lip service.

The people they're talking to at the conference, both the reporters there and those like us reading about it, aren't the same people who are driving most of the sales.

If anything, the problem is the opposite - the people they're talking to at the conference are reporters and analysts from mainstream magazines, newspapers and TV shows, who are there in droves. Hardcore gamers watching or covering the show aren't really the target audience.

The same is increasingly true of all other E3 briefings - I mean, look at EA's show, which opened with a selection of products for young girls. Half the auditorium was bored stiff, but for the mainstream journalists in the rest of the hall, that's exactly what they're there for.

@Shinji

Seriously? Just because the mainstream press has reporters there, are fat housewives and twelve year old boys really going to be looking out for E3 coverage over the next week or so?

Give us a 2D Mario! An upgraded Super Mario Bros 2 with 4 player local and online co-op! It would be AMAZING. "

LittleMarioWorld sounds good n all (I nearly wrote "looks" but I don't actually have a stream working), but I was hoping for a proper 3D one.

Still, sounds aces.

NSMB on DS was great, so NSMB for Wii ought to be good too, but... this is what myamoto was "working on for 15 years", bringing it to "the fourth dimension"?

I'm watching the Nintendo stream right now and enjoying Ellie's quips like a commentary.
If this were my primary source of information though, the comments would be a little sparse to be called coverage...

Whichever the case, jobs like live coverage are perfect for Ellie. Go go go!
