No thread for this yet? The Microsoft conference is starting in just a few minutes as I post this.
BTW, I know they archive the Nintendo Directs on the Wii U eShop, but is it possible to watch them live? The web browser doesn't seem to like streaming things.

I don't think the streams can be watched using the eShop. Not interested in the other companies' conferences myself, although I'll follow some of their news. As for Nintendo's one, all I can say is that I get the feeling that it'll be good, even though I don't really know what to expect. And no, I don't care about those leaks and whatnot. There are certain things I want to see (mostly further information on announced games), though I'm not letting my hope high. Heck, even if something is announced in E3, I'm still not letting my hope high. I still remember E3 2005 dearly, Nintendo and affiliates. You're forgiven, but not forgotten. That said, I'm genuinely excited. If anything, we're guaranteed to see loads of Smash action thanks to the demo and tournament. Things I want to see: - Smash 3DS release date (=the date when people can finally stop speculatng)
- Debunking of those ridiculous Smash Bros. leaks (leak supporters are annoying and won't shut up about it, and I don't want them to win)
- Anything related to any of my favourite series (the list's quite long, let's see, we've got Fire Emblem, Kirby, Metal Slug, Bomberman, Puyopuyo, even long-dead series like Parodius and Capcom's SNES Disney games... any of these, and just a single piece of news, would do, including the release of SMTxFE info)
- More info on things that are announced: SMTxFE, Yarn Yoshi, Zelda, Hyrule Warriors, and I think there's that 3D Mario which Nintendo didn't tell which platform it's on
- Something we can get for free (similar to Four Swords)
- New Puzzle Swap panels (seriously)

EA conference is starting. The Microsoft conference was... OK. They went down the typical Xbox checklist: Call of Duty, driving game, another brown shooter, more guns, cars, Fable, etc. Some interesting things in there, though. The trailer for Sunset Overdrive poked fun at the stereotypical Xbox games. Hideki Kamiya was there in person to announce Platinum Games' ScaleBound. And there's also DLC for Dead Rising 3 available right now called "Super Ultra Dead Rising 3' Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX Plus Alpha." Aside from the conferences, WayForward has announced that the 3DS game Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is also coming to Wii U. And Capcom has announced a bunch of Virtual Console games coming to both 3DS and Wii U. |

One hour until Sony's. I'mnot interested in them whatsoever, but since they did a pretty good job one-upping Microsoft, we'll see what tricks do they have up the sleeves...

EA's and Ubisoft's were pretty dull.
I will say, however, I do like Aisha Tyler hosting the Ubi conference. This was her third year, and she's really hit her stride. Maybe her humor isn't to everyone's taste, but she does bring some very refreshing spontaneity to what would otherwise be another painfully scripted presentation. And her segue from Just Dance 2015 to The Division was awesome.

Looks like I am able to stream this through the Wii U's web browser. I sat through four boring press conferences yesterday, so hopefully this will be good. I would have rather not seen that unfortunate leak, tho.

Congrats for your 4000th post!
Never cared about E3 leaks myself. And apparently, the show will last 47 minutes.
Now I think I may be too excited for this thing (even though it's just a tiny bit of excitement). I hope I won't be let down.

Saw the leak. But can't have leaked everything.
Less than a minute!

Toad gets his own game, Yarn Yoshi looks awesome, we get another Kirby-made-of-odd-material game and Nintendo makes what looks like their answer to COD.
Pretty much everything is looking swanky.

A lot to take in, there.
So, Xenoblade Chronicles X... Does that mean it's a remake? A sequel? A different game with the same name? I'm a little confused about that.

My... mind is.... not blown, to be honest. Oh well. At least Kirby and the Rainbow Curse looks like something I'll get, and Captain Toad's game looks interesting. Also, September release for Smash? And we'll see what Treehouse has to offer. A lot to take in, there. So, Xenoblade Chronicles X... Does that mean it's a remake? A sequel? A different game with the same name? I'm a little confused about that. It's a new game. Didn't they show a new character (Elma) from the very start? |

Apparently, Tomonobu Itagaki just confirmed that his former THQ game Devil's Third is now exclusive to Wii U! EDIT: IGN link |

New Mario vs. Donkey Kong for Wii U. I guess based on the previous tech demo.
EDIT: That "leak" from earlier has now been confirmed. A new Star Fox game is in development for Wii U. Congrats for your 4000th post! Heh, thanks! I didn't even notice!  |
