It's early. Too early. Nick wouldn't even let me eat breakfast. I'm hungry, somewhat hung over, and jet lagged, and yet the show goes on. Today Nintendo president Satoru Iwata takes the stage here at the 2009 Game Developer's Conference to offer up the show's first keynote. As you could guess, yours truly has been assigned the event. I'll do my best.

The new Zelda and Wario games sound sexy to me. This conference makes me happy!

Also Zelda on a train. Steps closer to a futuristic Zelda game...
Zelda is awesome, hopefully the train thing is better than it sounds.
