I thought I might as well make a thread dedicated completely to the events going on within the next 24 hrs so it is easier to sift through the information! Anyway does anyone have any advice as to what site will have the best refreshed updates?

Your best bet will be to use the collaborative power of internet communities to your advantage. Refresh your favorite active fanboi message board forum (Like PGC (or...GAF)) and at least one of the die-hards who posts there will make their way through the internet traffic jam that we can expect to bring back news that would've been so much more difficult for you to get on your own.

For now, what I got is that IGN-Wii will update later on at night, www.codenamerevolution.com apparently will do a live update. I guess now it's just a matter of wait and see.

NeoGAF will explode within minutes (if it doesn't explode before) of the show starting...

less than 15 mins!

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #6 on:** September 13, 2006, 02:54:37 PM »

No, it's in an HOUR and 7 minutes now...MORE THAN AN HOUR STILL, PEOPLE!

Every time Bill freaks about something I imagine it's his avatar saying it.

Another hour? But I'll be having dinner then!

You know that Nintendo news fills me up better than food!

Shouldn't the Japanese press event be starting soon?

Caliban · « **Reply #10 on:** September 13, 2006, 03:18:12 PM »

I think we need to wait 40 minutes more, not sure though.

Is this a live feed or have I been duped? Is 060607 really a July meeting or sumething? Is this the one where they showed Pokemon?

Edit: Darn, it is, removed.

10:20 AM: The press are all inside now. There's a LOT of buzz in the air. If Nintendo don't announce date and price today, I think the Internet may implode. Stay tuned and keep refreshing for our live blog coverage.

Finally starting!

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #17 on:** September 13, 2006, 04:34:18 PM »

I didn't miss anything! YES!

decoyman · « **Reply #18 on:** September 13, 2006, 04:35:12 PM »

(freaks out)

Mario · « **Reply #19 on:** September 13, 2006, 04:38:25 PM »

10:35 AM: The conference is starting a little later than expected. Expect more updates in the next 20 minutes or so.

As usual

Mario · « **Reply #20 on:** September 13, 2006, 04:42:19 PM »

10:38 AM: Conference has officially started! Iwata is here along with several other Nintendo big wigs from Japan. The speaker is introducing everyone. Iwata got up and took a bow.

EDIT: http://www.gwn.com/news/story.php/id/10307/

The credibility of this blog is in question at the moment, it's quite odd how no other sites on the net are reporting anything

Artimus · « **Reply #21 on:** September 13, 2006, 04:49:06 PM »

I think it's trustworthy because the site itself is.

blackfootsteps · « **Reply #22 on:** September 13, 2006, 04:49:13 PM »

10:40 AM: Still introducing the Nintendo reps present.

KirbySStar · « **Reply #23 on:** September 13, 2006, 04:50:38 PM »

Guys it's already over. The buffering is hell but I didn't get much out of this and maybe it's because Japanese press are reserved but they didn't see very reserved.

Anyway those live blog sites aren't very live.
