E3 08: Liveblogging the Nintendo press conference screenshot

In just a few minutes (9:00 a.m. PST) we will start our liveblog of the Nintendo press conference. You can hit the jump to follow along using this fancy new liveblogging software I just downloaded on my computer. It's fancy!

I am going to try my best to contain my excitement, but if they announce Pikmin 3, be prepared for more smiley faces than you have ever seen in your entire life.

I apologize in advance for any unprofessional conduct.

AgentMOO at 07/15/2008 10:57

Alexradl at 07/15/2008 10:58

Yay! Chad is alive! Exciting.

ParaParaKing at 07/15/2008 10:58

COME ON NINTENDO! We're waiting.
Go Reggienator!

Hitogoroshi at 07/15/2008 10:58

who is there besides you Chad?

JynxShot at 07/15/2008 10:59

Do want more cool DS games. And perhaps a cool Wii game without waggling.

AgentMOO at 07/15/2008 10:59

Also, Steve.

Infinite Obscurity at 07/15/2008 11:00

please God, let there be a new, glorious Zelda game.

Spitfire at 07/15/2008 11:00

Alexradl at 07/15/2008 11:01

Nice inspiring music for the montage, people smiling. Happy Happy Happy! Dance Dance Dance! Wow Nintendo you have changed.

Unicorn at 07/15/2008 11:01

Macarello at 07/15/2008 11:01

START YOU MUTHERFUGGER. I NEED INFO

Hoodie at 07/15/2008 11:01

I am SO HAPPY that Chad is liveblogging this. Dale's alright too :)

Jaren Face at 07/15/2008 11:03

...Chad, your commentary brings a smile to my face.
:D

Alexradl at 07/15/2008 11:03

Um...are we here for games or family photos?

Chazboski at 07/15/2008 11:04

Instant Motivational

Snowboarding: Cammie can't.

the Golden Avatar at 07/15/2008 11:05

I think I played this game 12 years ago at the arcade.

ultrapeanut at 07/15/2008 11:05

I was really hoping that was a new 1080 until I saw that it was just a Wii version of Shaun White Snowboarding.

glandseck at 07/15/2008 11:05

She sounds WAY too happy about this...

tomippen at 07/15/2008 11:06

who's cammie?

Kryptinite at 07/15/2008 11:06

Man, I love that robot!!!

graphic at 07/15/2008 11:06

I HATE THAT WOMAN

Alexradl at 07/15/2008 11:06

"Ahh, I broke my other wrist"

Debeo Laurus at 07/15/2008 11:07

Hmmm, another snowboarding game... and its not 1080... So far this is exciting... (sarcasm)

randombullseye at 07/15/2008 11:07

This lady has to tell her life story to show off Wii Snowboarding?

Is that Carrot Top?

loki d20 at 07/15/2008 11:07

Looks like Carrot Top in the second picture.

the Golden Avatar at 07/15/2008 11:07

"Please welcome me in joining..."

Nice

Redzie at 07/15/2008 11:07

Chad, shout "dolphins!!!" when you get the chance.

randombullseye at 07/15/2008 11:08

IGN has the live video in case you guys are missing it.

http://livewire.ign.com/2008/e3/index.html#

Phantom Spaceman at 07/15/2008 11:08

@loki: yeah, that was my first thought: "wtf, carrot top?"

randombullseye at 07/15/2008 11:10

Seriously Chad, yell Dolphins rule! As loud as you can. That will TOTALLY make up for the dinosaur sweater.

Do it!

adultswim810 at 07/15/2008 11:10

he said paradigm like 10 times. is it my birthday or something!?

Alexradl at 07/15/2008 11:10

Heretic:

Haha!

Oh trust me, I'm used to it by now. I've come to expect it.

PhazonYoshi at 07/15/2008 11:11

Ah, this is a nicer system than you did for MS

ParaParaKing at 07/15/2008 11:12

Nintendo still loves casual gamers.
And we still love engrish.

Phantom Spaceman at 07/15/2008 11:12

"we never in our wildest dreams imagined that we could make millions by selling interactive scales to fatass Americans"

Mister Disco at 07/15/2008 11:13

Is that... Carrot Top on a balance board?

There is no god. :(

riomccarthy at 07/15/2008 11:13

Dale, I totally <3 you
but...
Chad has my <3 as always :P

randombullseye at 07/15/2008 11:14

I agree with PhazonYoshi, good call using the real-time blogging. Now I just have to flip back and fourth between here and the video.

I think my videos a minute or two behind the blog. Its like you're chatting from the future!

adultswim810 at 07/15/2008 11:15

HAHAHA DUPLICATING THE EXPERIENCE BURN

riomccarthy at 07/15/2008 11:15

"There is danger in standing still." -Iwata

That is SO my new favorite quote.. XD

Justice at 07/15/2008 11:15

Great way to live blog dudes!

J03yyz at 07/15/2008 11:16

this sounds horribly boring

Brian Keljore at 07/15/2008 11:16

I totally want a game to get me engaged, I just need to meet the right woman first.

Mister Disco at 07/15/2008 11:16

@Heretic

That's what they do every time one of them steps on stage.

Phantom Spaceman at 07/15/2008 11:16

@Chad - 9:22 - Engourged.

bbrigg1 at 07/15/2008 11:16

The internet is tits.

ace of knaves at 07/15/2008 11:17

Please stop talking and show us the games.

the Golden Avatar at 07/15/2008 11:17

ANIMAL CROSSINGU!

Alexradl at 07/15/2008 11:17

Animal Crossing MMO....?

randombullseye at 07/15/2008 11:17

I'm sure he would have grabbed those panties Chad.

ParaParaKing at 07/15/2008 11:17

SURPRISE!

Justice at 07/15/2008 11:18

City Folk is a pretty lame subtitle.

loki d20 at 07/15/2008 11:18

I find it hard to believe that GH sold more on the Wii... Really hard... Oh well.

Chicken008 at 07/15/2008 11:18

You're hilarious Chad. :)

ace of knaves at 07/15/2008 11:19

Damn you Chad, my video's behind and you spoiled the Animal Crossing reveal!

ParaParaKing at 07/15/2008 11:19

The thought of people spending their new year's eve in Animal Crossing is really really scary.

Mister Disco at 07/15/2008 11:19

Okay, Animal Crossing is bitchin. I'm happier now.

randombullseye at 07/15/2008 11:19

I'm shocked an already established franchise gets a new sequel? Forget Final Fantasy 13, Animal Crossing: City Folk is the big shocker.

Justice at 07/15/2008 11:19

Mii inclusion is pretty cool.

Technophile at 07/15/2008 11:19

man I hate trying to scroll up to read stuff I missed, it keeps bouncing down to the bottom when they add something new.

Not your guys fault, I just wanted to bitch about that.

ALSO, TELL COLETTE I LOVE HER!...and yer pretty awesome too Chad.

the Golden Avatar at 07/15/2008 11:20

Guitar Hero sold more on the Wii because it hasn't yet had Rock Band as competition like the other two.

Alexradl at 07/15/2008 11:20

...And the wii is finally getting a headset (oh, sorry "Wiispeak")

Justice at 07/15/2008 11:20

Wii gets chat! Brawl/Mario Kart functionality? plz?

ParaParaKing at 07/15/2008 11:20

Remember you will need a 64 digit code for Wii Speak.

DynamicSheep at 07/15/2008 11:20

FINALLY! IN GAME CHAT!!!!

casualweaponry at 07/15/2008 11:21

Your new liveblogging software not so good for us mobile users :(

Thabk goodness for the comments.

Tubatic at 07/15/2008 11:21

Voice chat for a non violent game? This could get . . .

ZOMG Pedobear NOOOOOOOOOO!!

Hoodie at 07/15/2008 11:21

I don't know what "Happy Room Academy" is, but I like the sound of it.

Also, glad that Animal Crossing is already out of the bag and is probably not their "megaton" announcement.

Also, I do have love for Dale. AND OMG VOICE CHAT! I can't wait To Catch a Predator on my Wii. Finally!

Alexradl at 07/15/2008 11:22

Wow, the clapping after the Animal Crossing presentation was pathetic. Ha!

Unicorn at 07/15/2008 11:22

ANIMAL CROSSING WII

WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT FOR ANOTHER YEAR OR SO

MIND FUCKING BLOWN. I'M COMPLETE.

ParaParaKing at 07/15/2008 11:22

THE REGGIENATOR!

ace of knaves at 07/15/2008 11:24

VOICECHAT! Hahaha, yes!

randombullseye at 07/15/2008 11:24

*fingers crossed for a new punch out*

Come on Reggie, don't let me down!

DynamicSheep at 07/15/2008 11:24

PSP doing better than Wii? wow... wouldn't have thought that

the Golden Avatar at 07/15/2008 11:24

They're really sticking it to analysts/experts in this presentation.

riomccarthy at 07/15/2008 11:24

LOL Chad, I have 3 DSes myself so I'm not too far behind you.

Dead Movie Star at 07/15/2008 11:25

New franchises, new franchises, no whammy, STOP!

Alexradl at 07/15/2008 11:25

I'm guessing DS redesign. There was a rumor going around that the DS was getting an accelerometer and Nintendo was getting rid of the GBA slot.

MiOdd at 07/15/2008 11:26

Thank you boys very much for Live blogging, reading your comments is much more entertaining then listening to the live feed on other sites.

Kudos! ^_^

loki d20 at 07/15/2008 11:26

Guitar Hero sold more on the Wii because it hasn't yet had Rock Band as competition like the other two.

You mean the other three, perhaps they forgot the PS2 as well since that was, in my understanding, the biggest seller of GH3.

randombullseye at 07/15/2008 11:28

Here he goes with the pokemans.

ParaParaKing at 07/15/2008 11:28

come on. I want to see games...

Redzie at 07/15/2008 11:28

Chad is so perfect for this...

riomccarthy at 07/15/2008 11:28

Nooooooo why does my cable keep taunting me with freaking Emergency Broadcast Testing!!!! >.<
