[QUOTE=Magikoopa24;47716609]An interesting tidbit about the Nintendo conference taking place at that time- for some reason, Square Enix also has a conference at that time, both running at the same time. That's quite a weird placement, I think.[/QUOTE] In relation to what I said a couple days ago in this thread, Square just moved their conference up an hour. Both get their time to shine, and customers don't have to decide between them. Win win, right? Well it seems people think Nintendo "bullied" square to move their time, and that they don't have the right to hold onto that spot. Kinda sad, how many people see competition in things.

[QUOTE=ClauAmericano;47727570]Nintendo posted this 6 hours ago on Twitter, no one mentioned it here yet I think. [t]http://i.imgur.com/TfLK3E1.jpg[/t] They also posted this picture days beforehand. [t]http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CE62Rq3W0AAa1sn.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] I went there at 1:00 today and took a bunch of pictures. They were handing out squid hats to those who were selected from the crowd, and if you played the game you got a Splatoon t-shirt. The demo they had was similar to the tutorial for the testfires, but the first area was completely removed. The launch pad at the end was also gone, and the tutorial was on a timer. You played two games on Blackbelly Skatepark, which was not in the testfire using the Splattershot Jr. The live event was interesting, but I was never able to get too good of a view of it.

[QUOTE=ThatSwordGuy;47733396][img]http://i.imgur.com/cNwKlvT.jpg[/img] Zelda U sneakpeek hopefully?[/QUOTE] From what I understand, every year they've had one conference for us, one for business people, and another for journalists right before E3. It's nice to see this, though.
[QUOTE=Rummy.SM;47733750]personal question. did people have fun?[/QUOTE] oh yeah people were having fun there. there were cameras all over the place, and i'm sure they'll upload videos of it soon. lots of people stood in line to play multiple times.
Nintendo seem to be taking some interesting advertising decisions for Splatoon i hope it does well for it

Last year the insider Nintendo conference revealed S.T.E.A.M and PacMan in Smash iirc.
pacman was revealed during the 3DS invitational i thought
Nope.we heard of him first from Twitter from people live tweeting the event
Man, went to the Wii Shop to grab some classic games, for some reason I though they had TMNT IV: Turtles in Time for the SNES. That would had been great.

So Mario Maker will be showing up at Best Buy. Can't wait to try it. Hope it has the functionality of [URL="http://rvlution.net/reggie/"]Reggie[/URL]
I'm becoming slightly annoyed with Nintendo and Splatoon, simply for the fact they're showcasing the Inkbrush so much and it won't even be shipping with the game, and is part the update patches. I mean heck even in the first part of the [url=http://imgur.com/a/ItGsn]manga[/url] one of the characters gets it as a weapon.

Welp, I'm cringing.
Interesting info on the Machine Gun and more so, the Sub-Weapon called the Chaser. [video=youtube;X4KkTI92isU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4KkTI92isU[/video]
the chaser bomb looks neat as a strategic weapon
Got all the sea scrolls, they're all cute but the last 5 are hilariously dark [sp]Water levels rose years from now killing every human on earth. Humans figured freezing themselves would help but the flooding happened so fast only one mammal got frozen in time- Judd. All cats, dogs, everything that isn't from the ocean went extinct. Except seagulls apparently.[/sp]

Finally used my Club Nintendo coins to get Paper Mario. Only to not realize that if I redeem it on the Wii channel on the Wii U, that I have to use the classic controller to play it. Fuck.
[QUOTE=Captain;47748983]Finally used my Club Nintendo coins to get Paper Mario. Only to not realize that if I redeem it on the Wii channel on the Wii U, that I have to use the classic controller to play it. [/QUOTE] They put Paper Mario on the WiiU VC, I think you can get it at a discounted $2.99 instead of buying a new controller.
The worst part about it is that my regular Wii is perfectly functional and I could of just redeemed it on that instead.
