Nintendo's 3DS press conference is streaming live Tuesday in Japan. What time is that everywhere else?

Nintendo is gearing up for their 3DS press conference, which is set to go live Tuesday at 12:00 noon in Japan. While we don't know exactly what Nintendo will reveal at the conference, there are a number of possibilities to be excited about. We expect Nintendo to comment on Monster Hunter and the second circle pad add-on (which was confirmed by Famitsu last week), the release date for the DSiWare version of The Legend of Zelda: The Four Swords, but there are also some rumors of other major announcements such as a third Baten Kaitos title (read the original news story with the rumors here).

Regardless of what the conference reveals, you can bet that NWR will be covering the conference live. The good thing is, you can, too. Nintendo is choosing to live stream the conference, giving fans around the world a chance to see what’s in store for the 3DS. Nintendo has set up a website for the conference which will be able to direct you to the stream. Fo those of you who are not so familiar with Japanese, the Ustream stream does not require a login, as opposed to the Nico Nico Live stream which does.

So now that you know where to go during the conference, what time will it start in your territory? Fear not. Below, I’ve compiled a list of different times around the world so you’ll know what time you need to be around your computer to watch.

Thanks for the time conversions! I had already converted it for my time, but I still wasn't entirely sure.

Only 12 more hours! Come on College classes, make the day go by faster, instead of slower, for once!

But, but...it'll be in Japanese. How will I know what's going on?

I think we need a Bivens/Charleton/Wlaker live stream translation, too!
What do you say, guys?

If Nintendo is going through the trouble of streaming this conference they are probably going to have English somehow.

*insert smartass comment about it not needing to be in English because NoA has no plans to bring over any of the games that will be announced*

It be for the European and Aussie market where the most commonly understood language is English. :P

So because of the time difference will this be happening tonight in the US?

the_dan_xDanny Bivens, Associate Editor (Japan)September 12, 2011

Caterkiller, yes, this is happening tonight in the US.

Fatty, man, I'd love to catch the stream live, but unfortunately it's right smack dab in the middle of a work day for me! So that kinda sucks.

As for the stream itself, even if you can't understand Japanese, I'm sure they'll have tons of pictures, videos and all that kind of stuff. You might even hear familiar things in katakana English or something. We're all going to do our best to make sure that you guys get all of the information from this thing. Get PUMPED! ;D

Yahoo! Sadly i'm in the same boat The Dan X, I will on the last our of my shift while this goes on.

the_dan_xDanny Bivens, Associate Editor (Japan)September 12, 2011

That sucks, man. :'(

"Today class instead of doing we are going to live translate the Nintendo Press Conference Stream to English as a practical exercise. Please have your translations to me be the end of class. I will review and score your paper and we will discuss the common problems tomorrow." -Danny B.

5 at night means I won't be watching that live.

CrimmJames Jones, Associate EditorSeptember 12, 2011

To clarify some stuff in here: this will be in Japanese. This is not the first event they streamed from Japan, and they're always in Japanese.

HOWEVER it is a video stream. You will be able to see what they're talking about. If they announce Baten Kaitos III you'll be able to tell from looking at it.

As always, Nintendo World Report will be braving the late night to offer you the best coverage of this event as it happens - In English.

Not in Esperanto or Lojban?

@The_Dan_x: Too bad about work interfering. I'll be thinking of you while I am watching tonight.
