Less than 24 hours. Let this be the one-size-fits-all thread for discussing the speech and all such. It's happening around 7PM PST tomorrow, Thursday the 15th of September.

So once again: Thursday at 7PM PST, 10PM EST.

EDIT: Fixed time and title!

roar!!!!!

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #5 on:** September 14, 2005, 07:27:17 PM »

The official Iwataton topic wasn't even spelled correctly! >=O

wandering · « **Reply #6 on:** September 14, 2005, 07:34:36 PM »

No, see, the "mispelled" thread title is actually a secret code implanted by Nintendo as part of a vast viral-marketing scheme.

Can't you see it?

IWATAON

Innocent mistake indeed!

Mario · « **Reply #7 on:** September 14, 2005, 07:48:37 PM »

Artimus must edit it after being punished for his sin!

21 hours 13 minutes 40 seconds to go!

The speech is at 11am Japan time, so uh.. around/between 7-10pm I guess for Americans.

Artimus · « **Reply #8 on:** September 14, 2005, 07:55:57 PM »

Fixed! Got the proper times and the proper title

ThePerm · « **Reply #9 on:** September 14, 2005, 07:57:05 PM »

after the speech is over we should talk on this thread for months about how great his speech was!!

God I can't wait, the press leak idea is still a posibility, so check out what Steven Kent may have to say tomorrow morning. ^^

There could be a specific time that an "NDA" is lifted or something, or it could just be "Friday" Japan time, so maybe we'll hear something earlier? Who knows! If we don't though, it'll be exciting come IWATA TIME (trademark Infernal Monkey), when we'll just be decoding little babelfished notes as they come in from people listening to the speech.

"THE PLAY IS DEFINED THROW TOILET" will be discussed for pages!

WOOOOO!

Fro · « **Reply #12 on:** September 14, 2005, 08:30:11 PM »

I think it's likely we'll get a leak a couple hours beforehand so the info can make newspapers in the states on Friday morning. The last thing Nintendo wants is the unveiling to be buried in the Saturday Morning paper nobody reads. Nothing's up on the USA Today website at the moment so we can rule that out.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #13 on:** September 14, 2005, 09:33:56 PM »

So, what did he say?

IceCold · « **Reply #14 on:** September 14, 2005, 09:51:49 PM »

Eh? 7 more hours still..

Mario · « **Reply #15 on:** September 14, 2005, 09:53:16 PM »

No, 19 more hours.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #16 on:** September 14, 2005, 10:15:41 PM »

So, is everyone going to stay awake and in front of their computers with PGC constantly refreshing until Iwataton breaks? Who's with me?!?

eh, I'm goin to bed..

Thursdayton is real. But don't expect much now. Iwata's speech doesn't take place until Thursday at 7:00ish Pacific Time in the US.

Matt

Confirmation! Except he mis-spelled IWATAton >=O

Looks like we won't hear anything til the speech, which is good because it means the IWATA COUNTDOWN is accurate!

Happy?

Even if nothing is revealed it will still be fun to get excited about something! Last time I got excited was when my aunt gave me a lap dance and that was creepy for everyone!

...rev news has already started pouring in...

dragon quest was confirmed for the rev at press.nintendo.com...though it was probably accidentally leaked, as the entire site has been taken down now...

EDIT: Hurr

Somebody on Gamespot snagged that picture before the site blew up. I managed to see it before the site went down, though, so no worries - it's real.

Mario · « **Reply #22 on:** September 15, 2005, 03:20:58 AM »

The entire Nintendo Press site was taken down? That like.. NEVER happens, someone must have goofed and scrambled to fix it.. or something.

Wait, the press site is working fine for me now though, nothing about DQ...

Dragon Quest on Revolution would be HUGE, there's been things hinting at it before, like Square-Enix's support for Rev, and that old Gamespot article that accidently "slipped" it in. Doesn't mean I believe it yet though, we'll see.

"I managed to see it before the site went down, though, so no worries - it's real."

I don't trust you!

Fro · « **Reply #24 on:** September 15, 2005, 03:28:48 AM »

I'm getting server errors on the site too, so that part of things appears to be legit.
