Hope you guys don't mind me making another E3 thread, but I felt we needed a main one for news.
Anyway, I will be planning on watching the conference from the IGN live feed, and I'll be trying to post stuff here in the boring figures/graphs bits, or just flick between here and there when something exciting just HAS to be shared!

Make sure you install the video player on your computer before the live stream starts. (IGN's live stream does need a install so don't leave it to the last minute). Quite a few websites are also doing live streams including Nintendo of Europe's site(s). |

Hehe, yeah, installed the update. It was good luck that I actually went and checked out the relevant webpage yesterday!
Anyway, big news! Nintendo's announced this little thing that plugs into the end of the wiimote to give it more accurate motion sensing abilities! This "Motion Plus" will actually give 1:1 motion control, meaning a sword (Red Steel sequel maybe) or a lightsaber would follow your exact arm movements on screen!
Other news: Wii Music is gonna get a lot of attention at the show.

I was hoping to get an IRC channel up so we could talk about it in real time. Sadly, I couldn't figure out how.
~2 hours left from here.

My neighbor has just chosen this moment to start chainsawing something. Time to turn the volume up!

Looks like I did get my timing right. It's currently 3:57 AM in the morning down here.

My stream has stopped showing the standard "waiting" screen and has started up funky music! And so it begins...
