It's on my mind from doing the other E3 2012 Press Conference topic, so I might as well put this one up as well: the thread for Day 2 of the Electronic Entertainment Expo, June 5th 2012.

Once again, here is a suggested forum thread for discussing the day's press conferences, which this year will be Ni. I received feedback last year that people preferred the Nintendo Press Conference thread in this section of the forums, so I've done so accordingly this year. Thankfully, the E3 schedule was accommodating this year, having Nintendo as the final press conference on its own day.

E3 Press Conferences Schedule - Day 2:

Nintendo Press Conference:	9:00 AM - 10:00 AM PST
	12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EST
	5:00 PM - 6:00 PM GMT+1
TV Broadcast:	Yes - SpikeTV
Links:	GameTrailers, IGN, Official Nintendo Stream, Giant Bomb, Gamespot, Nintendo World Report

E3 Press Conferences Schedule - Day 3:

Nintendo 3DS Press Conference:	6:00 PM - 7:30 PM (?) PST
	9:00 PM - 10:30 PM (?) EST
	2:00 AM - 3:30 AM (?) GMT+1
TV Broadcast:	No
Links:	Official Nintendo E3 Website, Nintendo World Report

Time Zone Converter

I'll try to keep the above schedule updated as pages I can actually link to go up. Naturally, if you all find links I don't, feel free to post them and I'll update this post accordingly.

Now, everyone played nice last year in the associated threads, but let me just reiterate: we all want to watch the Nintendo Press Conference, and perhaps have some friendly chat along the way. Remember that when you act like a jerk here, you're also making it hard for folks like moderator UncleBob to watch the conference as well. So please behave yourselves, and we can all enjoy another one of the biggest gaming news days of the year.

Props to UncleBob for finding a format for that schedule that didn't cause the forums to flip-out.

EDIT: A note about the schedule - I've had feedback on the other topic that folks in European countries might want their time zone represented in the schedule. I have GMT+1 up there because of a poster from the UK, but I have no idea what other countries and time zones we have represented here. If you have a time zone you'd like put on the schedule, let me know and I'll update it.

EDIT 2: Schedule updated with projected times for the Nintendo 3DS Press Conference.

Day 1 is like Christmas Eve, but Nintendo's day is Christmas. Hopefully Reggie and his elves are hard at work to make this E3-Christmas extra special this year.

Last year, I requested off for my birthday though I really just wanted to watch Nintendo's press conference. This year, I'm using PTO to leave work early so I can watch the press conference. Lame? Bitch, please. Awesome? Indubitably.

As always, no idea what to expect with Nintendo. That's why it's the most interesting conference.

After the Nintendo Direct thing last night, they promise a software showcase for the main event. It's very unusual of them to blow their load on hardware and firmware details before E3 and yet they've gone on done just that. And yet we still know of very few games. It's an exciting time.

I'm taking PTO as well. It seems to be what I do with Nintendo conferences. I did it the year before as well.

E3 is the Superbowl of video gaming.

Count me into the PTO parade (though they asked me). Probably going to flip over to Spike (TV) and troll the chatroom.

I should have taken PTO. I have absolutetly nothing really to do tomorrow...

I have an egregious amount of Paid Time Off that never expires and my employer is required to pay me when I leave. It's one of the few perks in a job that is otherwise a never-ending facepalm. I don't want to miss a Nintendo hardware reveal.

with all the disrespect Reggie has gotten, I don't think Reggie's elves with be good enough for the media this year

I'll probably catch some of it. It should be an interesting conference, since they've already introduced the Wii U hardware. Hopefully that means they have a lot of games to show off.

I unwrap my presents on Christmas Eve, so I hope your analogy is wrong, or tomorrow's going to suck!

Ah, but are you also off for that other conference when they cover the 3DS stuff?

Well, Sony just had one of their worst conferences in recent memory, so it looks like it's up to Nintendo to salvage this E3 for me because it's been pretty lousy so far. Ubisoft was the only company to put on a good show today. Hopefully, Nintendo will easily top them.

Aww, I wanted to post the gif...

Having anybody in the chatroom is a nice thing.

Hey, I did my part today, but it was always the same 2 other guys in there with me. Not a lot of actual conversation.

Dasmos · « **Reply #20 on:** June 05, 2012, 01:45:21 AM »

Yeah, people pop in and out.

UncleBob has been in there for a while, but the only thing I've seen him write is "I AM GOING TO DRAIN THE BLOOD OF A THOUSAND YOUTHS!"

Geeking out!

I'll probably lurk in the chatroom tomorrow morning I guess, but I'll be busy trying to write stuff for the site.

Shorty McNostril · « **Reply #23 on:** June 05, 2012, 06:13:47 AM »

I'm getting up at 2 am to watch this live.

millerball · « **Reply #24 on:** June 05, 2012, 06:16:19 AM »

I have a feeling this will be a trainwreck with live demos of stuff like ZombiU and year old ports that no one will give a rats behind about. I hope we at least get a goofy Reggie or Miyamoto moment on stage.
