Nintendo World Store Showing E3 Press Conference
« on: May 01, 2006, 07:08:40 PM »
Those of you in New York City can see Nintendo's big moment--live!

The Nintendo World Store is hosting a special event on May 9.  As part of the store's first year anniversary, Nintendo plans on showing their E3 press conference live to the public at 12:30 PM Eastern Time, on a first-come first-served basis.    


After the conference concludes, the party will continue with competition and prize giveaways.  There will also be a late-evening RSVP-only event, though details on how to register are not known at this time.    


This is a golden opportunity for fans on the east coast to see Nintendo reveal the Wii once and for all, as well as show what else is coming down the road for the DS.  Of course, if you can't make it to the NWS, you can keep your eyes glued to PGC for our week-long E3 coverage!

NICE! All my finals are this week (Wed and Thurs!). Ah, totally awesome way to start summer break.

ah, awesome. Though I wish they had announced this sooner. Don't know if I can make it.

Maybe next year they can stream it; that would be royally awesome.
Then again, that would certainly steal the thunder of all those website writers frantically typing every word that drips from Iwata's lips.

I'd go if I didn't have to pay for a hotel.

And gas wasn't outrageous.

And I could talk my wife into letting me go.

So do we know which websites will have a quality free live stream of the event? Is Nintendo.com doing anything?

Bah!  I'd go if it were only 6 hours (I assume that's round trip?)  Mapquest says it's about 16 hours - one way - for me.

I'm so glad I live 70 minutes from Manhattan.  And that all my finals will be over this Friday.  And that I'll be there, thinking about how jealous all my hermit crabs will be.

I think this may be one of the only times I'll ever wish to go back to NY.

Really?  You live *in* New York State and it's 6 hours, but it's only 16 for me from Illinois?  Wow.

Yeah it's pretty ridiculous, I'm originally from Brooklyn(NYC) and being out in Rochester is like living in a different country. Rochester/Buffalo is pretty much the furthest point from NYC. Actually 100% of New Jersey is closer than Rochester to NYC, even alot of Massachusetts is closer. But when Nintendo World Store opened I made the trip down there and it was pretty cool. Fun day trip plus I got some cool stuff.

actually i wish i was closer to rochester right now. nothing nintendo related but MC Lars is playing there tomorrow night and i doubt i can make it.

oh and not to brab but......SUCKERS I ONLY LIVE ATLEAST 45 MINUTES AWAY. all i gotta do is catch a 10-15 min bus (depending on traffic) to take to the subway and then its atleast 20 minutes if not less (cant remember) to rockafeller plaza. it would actually be my third time down there and only my second time to get in (if i do get in...)

i showed up one day and they were doing some special event, they had a picture of baby mario crying in his bubble that said something like "sorry, we're closed due to special events" and i felt exactly like the picture...

so yeah, i might just go and tell you guys ALL about it

jealous?

Yah, NY is really big...we drove up to Niagara Falls for senior trip last yr, excruciating.
Anyways, I'm actually moving back to Bklyn this Fri cuz the term is over...luckily, the Q still works on weekdays. In any case - PGCers and tendofans of the Tri-State area, unite! How early do you guys think we'll have to be there to semi-decent seats? Any of you guys wanna try and meet up?
