The stream is starting, for those who can watch.

For those who can't, I will see if I can announce stuff when it happens.

It looks like this is going to be fairly sedate. There isn't a single piece of pyrotechnic equipment in the joint.

Hm, the Kotaku Liveblog seems to be more up to date than the feed.

Fact: This is terrible.

This lady sounds like she is talking to a second grade class.

oh man she's back.

edit: HAHA GTA on DS? One of those "really?" moments. Pretty cool!

- oh i just hate her

- Wii motion plus ... Let's get it on!

- lol peripheral packed with each copy of wii sports resort ... looks like nintendo just made another billion

- wow, that 1:1 motion looks exceptional

- cool ... a wii music thing, looks ... odd. Drums seem to kinda work with the balance board as a kick pedal. Miyamoto played a saxophone and they "jammed". That's the only way I can describe it. Maybe you guys will have different views on this than me, but I think wii music looks just brutal.

If you can't watch it you should just look at the live blog at www.kotaku.com. I'm finding the feed to be pretty dull.

That's something I've wanted for a while. Or a patch that decreases the DVD-ROM speed. Only thing is that after getting a PS3 on Friday I'll probably have to invest in a bigger hard drive for my 360 to fit all my games.

Spore Creatures, new Pokemon, and Grand Theft Auto for DS. Pretty solid releases.

Packaged with MotionPlus from what I gather?

The live blog I'm reading says the MotionPlus looks very good.

Yah, I'm actually pretty excited about the motion plus. Hopefully it'll make the wii mote much more precise.

Hmm, Wii Music? I dunno about that one, I'm a little skeptical...

Edit: Just like to add that since is Miyamoto that's behind Wii Music, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

I'm going to put a vote into "very skeptical" for Wii Music.

Hmm, I guess that's a wrap for the Nintendo conference. Can't say I was blown away by anything either. Secretly I was hoping for a new Chrono Trigger game on the Wii, thinking the remake on the DS was a little precursor to that. Ah well, one can dream I guess.

okee-dokee ... wii motion plus looks awesome but everything else is just kind of the same old thing that really doesn't excite me. Hopefully the new motion will be implemented by a ton of developers. Pretty brutal e3 so far imo.
