E3 08: Liveblogging the Nintendo press conference photo

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.

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

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!
