The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword will be out this Holiday for the Wii. It’s finally done.

The game will have a special edition gold Wii remote that will launch around the game release.

There will be 25th anniversary Zelda orchestra concerts in various regions around the world this fall. More announcements about the dates will be given later.

There will also be two music CDs. Ocarina of Time official soundtrack for free to those who register the 3D game with Nintendo.

The other will be in conjunction with Skyward Sword and will be music from the orchestra.

I’m excited to hear this orchestra CD for sure. I’m a nerd so I already have the Ocarina soundtrack =]

They’ve now bought on a few people who have worked on the Zelda series over time.

Thanks to all the Zelda fans they say

President Iwata enters to Ben Folds… whu?

Iwata says the goal of Nintendo is to expand the gaming population.

Some hardware is seen as appropriate for only certain types of gamers, i.e. casual and hardcore.

But they say the next home platform will be good for both groups by going deeper and wider… questionable methods

There will be full details on the console later. Iwata trollin’

But he says the new platform will be a product to look forward to next year. This year the focus is on 3DS

Trailer for 3DS shows.

Mario Kart shown on crazy projector setup. StarFox , Mario, Kid Icarus, Luigi’s Mansion.

Reggie Fils-Aime takes the stage.

Regis says “we hear you”

He says he’s bringing games for casual and hardcore players.

There are five key titles this week.

First is MarioKart

Trailer for MarioKart is showing. It looks very traditional

except for the hanggliding…

Mario kart underwater levels

Not so traditional actually, ha

You can customize your Kart now too

mariokart holiday 2011

StarFox 64 remake is being discussed. It will include motion controls to move the ships.

The 3DS camera will record the faces of people you play against

It will be in US stores this September

Mario 3DS time

Trailer being shown that has isometric camera angle and the Raccoon suit for flight

Some camera angles being shown are awfully close to Mario, looks hard to control

Will be releasing by the end of 2011

Ne Kid Icarus trailer showing

with awful voice acting

Voice over mentions some story elements that resemble overwrought anime conventions

Multiplayer is being shown

looks limited to only four players

AR Icarus game teaser shown at the end

Reggie is so enthusiastic

Reggie announces 3 on 3 multiplayer

Icarus will be out later this year

Luigi’s Mansion 3DS trailer shown. Why would they do this to us?

because luigi needs some popularity

A franchise that was begging to be buried in New Mexico

now in 3D!!!!!

Reggie says this will be an entirely new game with several new mansion.

Luigi’s Mansion 2 is the official title

Third-party trailer showcasing: Resident Evil Mercs, Mario and Sonic Olympics, Ace Combat 3D, Tetris, Cave Story 3D, Resident Evil Revelations, Driver Renegade, Pac-Man and Galaga Dimensions, Tekken 3D, MGS Snake Eater 3D

Nintendo eShop is now live and it has demos and trailers for download and a virtual console service.

The virtual console will have games that date back to before NES I believe he said

The 3D Pokedex is already available for download as well

Reggie claims that 3DS has Social, connection, and Interaction

Nintendo promises that eshop will be easy to use with a “few clicks” to locate material

The new Nintendo system will be called WiiU

Terrible name honestly

WiiU control shown resembles an iPad with a joystick

It has two sticks a D-pad and four face buttons

here we come expensive console

Can switch game content from console t ocontroller on the fly

you can evern draw on the controler with stylus

Can use the controller as a motion controller to aim at the screen

the controller will support full games without any other hardware

Looks like a new controller for the Wii and not a new syatem at all actually

seems disappointing but still a good idea

Can use the controller to make video calls

can steam things from your controller to the console and vice versa

showinf a new zelda looks insanely high-def

Maybe it is a new console after all then

6.2 in screen on the new controller

So, if someone walks into the room and wants to watch a TV show they can change the channel and you can still keep playing on the controller’s screen

Has acelerometers, gyroscope and a camera

a big DS

A big 3DS

Without 3D

hat the batterylife for this thing 2 hours

The image on th new controller are created by WiiU and then sent wirelessly without latency, supposedly

Some games use the controller as a second screen for something like inventory or an aiming reticle of sorts

Shigeru Miyamoto begins talking about games that can be played on just the small screen or the small screen and your TV

I’m really not sure if this controller has the hardware in it or there is a separate box that plugs into the TV too

A new Smash Bros will be on WiiU and 3DS simultaneously.

The two versions of the game will work together somehow.

Showing an extremely detailed rendered video that demonstrates the power of the system. Is this real-time?

He doesn’t say.

New Super Mario Bros. Mii is in the works. You can use your Mii in the game.

Chase Mii concept described as a game where there are four people trying to catch the person with the main controller who has a bird’s eye view.

Another example is a game prototype concept that has people on the ground in a game shooting at the person holding the WiiU controller who is in a floating ship looking down on them.

Lego City Stories announced for 3DS and WiiU

Now showing a trailer of different developers thoughts

Includes Ken Levine of Irrational and Warren Spector

Darksiders 2, Batman Arkham City, Assassin’s Creed, Tekken, Ghost Recon Online will all be on the new console.

Showing trailer with footage from Darksiders, Dirt, Aliens Colonial Marines, Ghost Recon Online, Metro Last light, Tekken, and Ninja Gaiden 3

theres our hardcore

There seems to be a big focus on core games and the graphics are comparable to the other console versions

Hopefully the games will still be playable with that gigantic controller.

EA rep takes the stage to Arcade Fire jammin’

EA announces a partnership with Nintendo Wiiu
