Live: Nintendo Wii U Preview - 13th September 2012

12am AEST.

Here we go!

My body is ready!

Oohh my god

OMG please cost $250 ;_; I don't want to be a poor child again...

This should be good. So far, everything I heard that went down from Nintendo Of Japan's end went down good. All except for no addition of Nintendo Land not being bundled with either the Wii U 8 GB or 32 GB console. I don't get why they did that?

Need the info now!

Come on Mr Shibata show me U power.

So, do you think Nintendo of Europe President Satoru Shibata has a voodoo doll of Reggie that at this very minute he is attempting to give laryngitis to so he can hog all of the headlines? Seems this Euro-based Nintendo site is showing Reggie all the love

crosses fingers
Don't screw up launch, don't screw up launch, don't screw up launch... xD

UK stream is over here:

http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/news/nintendo_direct_47764.html

but remember: you could be watching the awesome regginator instead, which is what I'm doing. Even as European.

Crap my internet sucks xD

I woke up at six and couldn't get back to sleep. I'm pretty sure my body was letting me know that it is ready.

Im switching between this & the europe direct. got my vanilla coke & bags of snickers & twix mini's. Lets do this!

I was wanting to watch it with everyone but I'll go back to the official page then.
Bye.

By the way: New Pokemon Mystery Dungeon has been announced for 3DS. Full 3D world, gameplay and all. Just saying.

@GuardianKing Yeah, I saw on Serebii.net. I hope its better than others xD

I'm scared....

Wohoo! im ready!!!

I woke up randomly at 2:40 AM (US Central time) this morning. I think my body was ready, so I checked NintendoLife and saw all the cool news from Japan.
Can't wait for our own info coming up!

Hopefully I won't get pulled away from my desk here at work for the next hour or so.

Ah school; thou never fail to deceive me...

Omg 20 minutes @_@

Ha! I'm intentionally stepping away from my computer to watch it on my phone, @bezerker99
It's going to be my "lunch".

Let's do this!

"ARE YOU READY??? You think you can tell us what to do? You think you can tell us what to wear? You think that you're better? Well, you better get ready. Bow to The Masters! BREAK IT DOWN!!!"

Also, I hope Amazon has this available for preorder like they did with the 3DS. If they do, then, just like the 3DS, I'll be able to use my rewards from my Amazon credit card to preorder the entire system!

I hope that the rumor was true earlier this year about having the ability to play GCN games through VC on the Wii U eShop. That and I hope we get something similar to what Nintendo Of Japan showed off in package details.

Woohoo! =D Here we go!!!

Best day of the year! Well maybe second best since launchday will be even better. I need that premium Black bundle. So awesome. Gotta love Nintendo!

@3DSLUIGI I hope so too. But I think it might be like GBA on 3DS VC and take forever...

My body is ready!!! Here's hoping for release date & prices!!! Also new games and franchise to announce!!!

is it time?! Nevermind.. 10 more minutes

It is time! for a new hold screen!

Does anybody know how long this thing will be?

People are getting ready!! Horray!

Looks like we'll be having an intimate sit down discussion.

The guy to the far right looks nervous xD

Wish I could be there........

Wish I could be here.

@Bof

It's sad really. The more ppl keep saying stuff like that about the GBA coming to 3DS VC like as if it's gonna take forever to come, the more chances of it taking forever will happen. For GBA to come on the eShop, just be patient. It will happen eventually.

I should probably watch the European presentation, but I think I'd rather watch the American one. They (probably) won't be too different, anyway, and surely we'll only get an "up to retailers" price in Europe, while the US price will actually give me an idea of the prices here. Actually, I'll try watching both at the same time, but without sound on one of them.

Am I supposed to be hearing sound? Lol

This is my first time watching a Nintendo presentation Live! I usually just watch it afterwards on the Wii Nintendo channel.

OYUS. I am so ready! Come at me preview! :3

Bof, good question. This is the first conference I've ever watched. No sound yet for me either. We've got a couple people watching @ work.

Same Super-Mario-Fan! Haha

For some reason I get really excited for these conferences! So cool!

The sound usually doesn't start to til the stated time i think!!!!

I believe in the past the sound has started when the event began.

Everybody's sitting comfortably?

Ahh, makes sense. I really wanted to hear people talking though.

Some websties are reporting Black Ops 2 comfirmed

NIntendolife already posted a pic of it running on Wii U!!!

Call of Duty got old at ModernWarfare 2.

I love these random walking people.

@NightSmoke: NintendoLife posted it too 10 minutes ago.

Pardon me.

woho its time!

10:00 now! My body is so ready.

SOUND!!!

Ya man. They're all like, hurry up and start NOA! You wasted enough of our dam time already. lol

Black ops Wii U has been comfirmed.

whats with the music? Lol!

Yay.

Surprise me Nintendo.

Wtf music xD

Entertainment before the announcements i guess!

Hope it comes out in November.

we will find out soon

Cue Music!xD

My mom asked me if I like this song too LOL

This music is terrible! Lol

I wonder how long this will be. (Nice waiting music XD)

@CapnPancakes me too, they said for Japan it will be in December. I am scared!!!!

Woho Hi reggie!

Let's DO THIS!

Internet traffic is too bad in for the Euro version, guess I'm watching the American!

yes!!!!!!!!

the day after my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

11/18/2012 , I knew it!

YAY!!! NOVEMBER!!! I will be in line that day!!!

November 18

now all that's left is the price!

aaaah, audio echo is killing me, anybody else?

nice box!

I like the box art.

i wont the bet! I clled Nov 18. Along with others too... but all the analysts were wrong

with nintendo land!

HA, nintendo land!

No NintendoLand in basic?..

I like the deluxe bundle!

I will be getting the Delux Set!!!!

Wii U Deluxe Set gets my vote! I want that one.

Did i miss the prices?

Can't get on the UK site for the UK stream

$299 and $349

yes the price in $299.99 and $349.99!

YES YES YES!!! THIS IS ALREADY BETTER THAN E3!!!

Nevermind, no sale, maybe next year when its $249 and $299.

this is way better than E3!!

Getting deluxe

America gets Wii U first!!!!!!!

DELUXE FOR ME

im getting the deluxe!

Ugh, the freezing up is driving me crazy. >.>
Anyways, getting Deluxe simply because its the only way to get it black. xD

metroid blast looks cool

Looks beautiful in HD!!!

OMG this looks amazing!

So far, Metroid Blast looks descent.

Kinda reminds me of Super Mario galaxy

Is it still 2 pads that can be used per console as the limit?

Same super Mario fan.

IMO, it's good to know that someone has the option to fly Samus's ship while helping another player. Smart thinking.

For fifty extra dollars I can get a free game, more memory and a ten percent discount on online games I think I might buy the deluxe set.

Playing cooperatively he says. Local multiplayer or just flat-out regular multiplayer?

mario game for nintendo land is chase mii

I wonder if Metroid Blast was that Battle Mii demo before they showed off at E3 2011?

New Super Mario Bros U!

it looks amazing!

Running on walls, DAM!! Plus the graphics look great.

Wii U's version of Coin Rush. Rushed idea imo.

without ever touching the ground?! Im never going to master that.

Yeah 3DS Luigi.

Nintendo TV?

I might get Lego City Undercover, but i nvr played the lego games!

WHAT?!?!! Nintendo TV ? Are they serious?!

Cant see any reason to get basic white with all the extras in black, if the game is $50 or $60 there you go. And trade the game in if you dont want it.

wait what, tvii? is this the Apple tv?

it looks neat!

I hope this is included in the deluxe package!!!

It looks like they're copying off of Microsoft here.

I came here for games. Disappointed.

Nintendo TVii looks really cool

Just called Gamestop. He had no info on preorders right now. Another Gamestop said maybe tomorrow morning.

TVii , I missed the ii in that

Looks like I need to save up some more for the $350 Deluxe bundle. So far, this has been a really interesting preview. So North America actually gets Nintendo Land bundled, in a way. Also, Nintendo TVii looks really cool.

Only fifty extra bucks for the Premium addition, which comes with a copy of Nintendo land, some fancy plastic things, and 24 extra Gigs.
The cost of Nintendo Land alone would be fifty bucks, and you'd buy it immediately after getting the Wii U anyway (or not). Sounds like a good deal to me.

I wonder if its with certain providers or and totally separate thing!!!

is tvii like the Sony S and Samsung Galaxy tablet apps? i was going to buy a tablet to do this.

Sheesh. This is starting to remind me of Microsofts last E3. At least there's less SPORTS SPORTS KINECT SPORTS.

I don't know if i like this...talk games please!

Ok enough about Wii TVii Get back to the games!

Amazon have the White model for £199.99

OOK, that makes since now!!! It gives you options on how to watch it!

Get on with it!

I know its a new feature that you need to explain but can we get back to the Wii U and the games?!

Be patient with the man. He's almost done.

"Be patient with the ham. It's almost done." Is what I heard. I'm hungry.

@Robo-goose HaHaHaHaHa!!!! I just craked up right now!

Let's not.

This got boring

This is taking way too long

Wait, will they announce wii u games prices?

Yeah getting boring. We need a Zelda announcement to liven things up!

finnaly its done!

It would have been better if they did a video and uploaded it to youtube or something and they announced, "check out our youtube channel for further look into Nintendo TVii"!!!

I came here for games, not all this other jazz I could care less about! Were's the Wii U shop details?

AH! It froze right when bob/bill/guy left! NOOOO

Woho its on every Wii U!

Get to the frigging price already, SS!

ham on crakers? lunch time.

is the europe braodcast spending all this time on tvii?

HUH?!!!!

Awesome looking, never played the first one though!!!

i liked the other name better.......

Idk if i like that name or not!!!

Holy crap! Bayonetta 2?!!
Thats your hardcore audience sold right there. Done.

@Hyperstar96: damn, must have missed it. Thanks for nothing, NL!

Bayonetta on Nintendo. Man I smell a lawsuit somewhere.

Monster Hunter 3 in March OMG

Wow, Bayonetta 2 exclusive!! Loved the first one, and as an exclusive they should be able to avoid all the problems th ePS3 version had.

They renamed cool sounding Project X to Wonderful 101? Why?

MH Tri HD update or new game?

Monster Hunter 3 for 3ds and Wii U.

Both compatable with each other.

This was exclusive info from europe direct.

It's 3+. What Japan got.

Monster Hunter 3G 3DS+WiiU US release? Yep, thats all I needed to hear, hype sustained.

I think we're looking at the Hitler of the video game world atm.

I loved the European presentation I'm really liking the look of some of those games & the suprise of Bayonetta 2 being a Nintendo exclusive when the 1st game didn't even touch Nintendo consoles Also, Nano Assault NEO looks really awesome

Ugh Skylanders needs to go away.

The music is too loud.

The graphics of those Activision games looked terrible.

"Not sure TVii is going to be seen outside of NA for quite some time, if at all."

Interesting news about TVii. Not as exciting as game announcements, but numbers suggest that people watch media more than they play games on all current gen systems... so spending some time to hype and explain the feature is probably a good move.

One issue: I strongly question whether this will be North America or just a US exclusive, much like Hulu and countless other free video services. Seems very likely that they will NOT provide this service for Canadians, although I'd love to be proven wrong.

Nintendo Land looks to be the most compelling game title to launch so far. Unless, ofc, if ZombieU gets a US release on day 1 as well.

Hmm, this should be interesting with the Wii U gamepad!!!

He's quite fond on himself.

If he played Blops2 right now, he'd kill everyone with XxxX_Z_NO[SCOPE]XxX_360#HYPER*&SNIPER_XxXTREEEEMEXxxxxx.

All the Activion games visually look like Gamecube games.

I already have 3DS and PS3 Skylnders portals, he didn'y even mention if you need a portal w/ NFC built into the gamepad.

Nobody is buying a Wii U for a FPS.

go away

Call of Duty: BARF?

Playing together could be fun though. If they get the aimingsystem right on the pad.

So many games!

All right! Pikmin3 is within reach!

November 30th?

3rd part stuff is welcome, but i'm in for Nintendo developed games...

Looks like the Mario attraction for Nintendo land is confirmed

Soo Epic Mickey 2 IS confirmed for the Wii u???

Well its done. Goodbye people

That was freaking awesome! So long for now folks!

Bye guys xD

Nintendo, WHY YOU NO GIVE US FZERO OR STAR FOX!?!?

AWESOME!!!

I thought Epic Mickey 2 was coming to Wii......

"Activision provide great blockbuster titles." LOL.
The call of Suty presentation killed the end of it for me.
Other than that great presentation.
Now, how about those European details?

NOW maybe developers will announce more of those secret titles we've been hearing all about!!!

Also, the press seemed miserable.

meh i wanted to see pikmin 3 footage

Was I the only one who noticed Warriors Orochi 3 during the reel? I loved Samurai Warriors 3 and Chronicles, so I'll get this too! Good show Nintendo!

off topic : new super mario bros 2 has over 100 billion coins !

Wii U finally might get some of the core crowd back.

Final thoughts - a great system for somebody who doesn't already own an HD console. but then i'ld buy a PS3 holiday bundle for $199 and play most of these same games cheaper. Can't spend $300 just to play Pikmin 3.
OK, if TRU or Target or GS throws in NL to the basic or a $50 GC for the black AND it's in stock, Ill buy 1.

will it work with non high defintion tvs?

I find the lack of eShop details disturbing. Guess we'll get more news at a future Nintendo direct? Hopefully?

Europe: "No price right now. Check with retailer"... Seriously?

It all looks great, price is reasonable, but I'm going to wait a while for a couple of reasons. #1: I don't have an HD TV so there's really no reason for me to geek out about the graphics like a lot of people are. #2: No must play games just yet for me. Mario looks nice with the SMW-inspired map and all the Miiverse extras but it's just not something I HAVE to have right now. I would say I will be getting a Wii U around April-May of next year (tax time).

@TheRainbowDash Yes.

Well done Nintendo! MH3, Bayonetta 2, Madden 13, Fifa 13, 2k13, W101, BOPS2, ZombiU, Ninja Gaiden:RE, ME3, Arkham City: AE, Tekken Tag, Darksiders 2. Hardcore crowd will be pleased!

Nintendo u managed to impress me yet again...(no pun intended) i want that deluxe set mainly because of the color and Nintendo land being bundled with it..i wonder if they'll make basic set be able to have a black color.

@Magi

My gamestop let preorder the 350 right away
