I kind of dont like this because then Nintendo's conference might be luckluster. Nevertheless, thanks for pointing it out and looking forward to it!

Hmm. Makes me curious how much they're going to reveal. Kinda with MysticShaid on this, but I'm sure at most it's going to be specs and stuff. The games and launch lineup themselves hopefully won't be revealed till their actual conference.

But yes, I am excited for this. I hope it can just put some these rumors to rest already.

Learn more about the Wii U console! Click on the link to watch our Nintendo Direct live-stream later today and see what Wii U can do. No Wii U game info until Tuesday’s presentation.


And below that was a link to what will be the video, but it's already been posted on this thread.

I can't wait. I haven't been this excited about E3 since... last E3...? But you get what I mean.

So... the conference is done! Don't have a summary of what happened though, hopefully a source there will do it for me.

Basically, MiiVerse, 360-like controller, Nintendo caught up on Internet, and a bunch of other intriguing news that people should check out, while getting the boring stuff out of the way for their E3 conference, which I think will be very exciting.

The biggest news to me was the other controller, the Wii U Pro Controller or something(?), looks very sweet. Can definitely attract third-party developers with that. The GamePad(The official name of the touch screen controller) also looks more polished up and far better, and also looking neater how they demonstrated it in the video.

All in all, you all didn't miss much, but it's intriguing information that makes me more pumped for E3.

EDIT: And I find sources.

Details about the Miiverse, includes a rather... amusing trailer. Surprisingly, Miiverse will be coming to 3DS as well as PC and mobile devices, something I never see Nintendo do.

The Wii U Pro Controller, based on the Classic Controller Pro for Wii. Nintendo confirms that it specifically designed this controller for multiplatform games, which is a good sign. Looks neat overall, definitely getting it, although hopefully it comes with the console.

Wii U will also have an in-game help system.

The said trailer in the first paragraph also confirmed video chat and uses the Wii U GamePad as a camera to record yourself, where the person in the trailer places it in front of the TV on a desk, and the other person's image is seen on your TV, like Skype. Pretty sweet. You can also tweet, access the internet(With a much better browser it seems then the Wii's), etc., without being forced to quit the game or anything. Just in case you were too lazy to watch it.

Also, some random bit of news, but in this picture, everybody is pointing to it being the new Pikmin. And it appears a black Wii U will also be available...

That was awesome. If the pre-show is this great, I can't wait for the main thing. It feels great to see Nintendo changing a lot of the things they get made fun of for like 3rd party support, WiiU pro controller, and online features. The humor used in the video demonstrating the online features remind of that in Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Here's the video for anyone who missed it.

If that picture is of Pikmin then it seems the camera is behind Olimar- like a in 3rd person shooter. Assuming the blob on the left is Olimar, that is.

Huh? What's that post above me say?

I'm gonna view all the content later, but a friend of mine pretty much gave me the play by play while I was at work. From what I've heard, I'm getting pretty hype for the real conference later in the week at E3. Hopefully they won't disappoint with the real conference!
If someone asks me if I'm enjoying life, unless it's something really unforgivable, I can't help but answer that I am. No matter how much despair there is, I'm satisfied with just living...Just being allowed to be here really is a wonderful thing.

I object to your claims
So, I just finished watching the video, and I must say that I am impressed, particularly with the whole 'get help with the game without having to turn off the game' sthick. I could see that being very useful.

Nah, everybody is saying that it looks like a purple Pikmin I think. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't make Pikmin like that. Of course, it's awfully blurred, so who knows? Hopefully we just see the game Tuesday...

Well, the only down-side is that nothing in that video is new from last year's E3. Except maybe the Miiverse. Hopefully this year E3's conference exposes some awesome stuff. I'm not super excited for the console, but it is pretty unique. I wanna play that Zelda..

New Pro controller, Miiverse, better internet, new designed Wii U GamePad and new ways to use it, etc.

Not saying it should excite you more, but there's plenty of new there.

I am rather interested in the Wii U...the only problem is, I don't know when I'll be getting the money for it.

Still, I do like what I see so far. I did hear of a rumor that there maybe a Metroid cross Star Fox game.
