Video streaming by Ustream
Will it be possible for me to get through this without a single reference to that Reggie Fils-Aime catchphrase. I am going to die trying! Time for the Nintendo E3 Liveblog!

11.45: Seriously though, I just woke up. I am not ready. I need hydration. At the very least I need to get dressed. What are you guys and girls hoping to see?

11.48: Okay, now dressed. Now making last minute coke zero run. I am literally going to run.

11.53: I’m back. Genuinely excited for what’s going to be shown today. Love Nintendo, I hope they bring it.

11.57: Yeah, I’m in America. I say ‘bring it’ now.

11.58: But seriously, thanks for joining me tonight. Especially those who have been through all these Liveblogs. E3 buddies 5 eva.

12.00: AND HERE WE GO!

12.01: POKEMANS. To be honest, I missed the whole Pokemon thing. I was just a little bit too old when it came out. Don’t have that nostalgia for it.

12.05: BLOODY INTERNET, what did I miss? MARIO? AH SHIT.

12.06: Super Mario 3D World. Is this the 3D Mario? Man, it looks great, and I loved HD land… but it’s no Galaxy if you get me. Still I loved loved loved 3D Land on the 3DS so I’m going to run with this. I’m in.

12.08: And it’s Mario Kart! THE LEAST EVOLVED NINTENDO SERIES EVER. (I’m totally still going to play it.)

12.10: These tracks look good, but it’s hard to say. This actually looks pretty good. Easy to forget just how successful this series was last time round.

Mario Kart 8 it’s called.

12.11: Racing UPSIDE DOWN. It’s the Mario Galaxy of Mario Kart!

12.12: I like the idea of using the Gamepad for two players at the same time. That’s smart. It looks great.

12.13: DELAYS for Wii Fit U. That thing was just a glorified set of scales for me anyway. A really clumsy set of scales. Coming out this Summer I’m assuming.

12.14: Art Academy for Wii U. On e-shop. That’s good and makes sense. Maybe I’ll use it for ScribbleTaku.

12.15: Support of third parties! Like EA!

12.18: I hope Watch Dogs uses the Wii U Gamepad. I think that’s a must.

12.20: Great wee line-up for e-shop.

12.21: You could make a really strong argument for Wind Waker being the greatest looking game ever made. Just saying.

12.22: 1080p. Zelda. Hnnnggg. DO THE SAME FOR METROID PRIME. I’LL DO ANYTHING.

12.24: Say what you want. I’m buying Wind Waker. I want to play it again, bugger it.

12.25: This Platinum game looks immense. Will play.

12.27: New Donkey Kong. Is this what Retro Studios is working on? Makes sense. Don’t know why I didn’t think of it before. DKCR was a big success.

It was also amazing.

12.31: HAHAHAH BAYONETTA HAS UNDERGONE A MAJOR MAKEOVER!HAHAHAHA AMAZING.

12.34: Oh cool. This will be a big deal for a lot of people. Xenoblade Chronicles was plenty of people’s GOTY. This looks good. I like it a lot.

12.35: SMASH BROS ON 3DS. DROP THE BOMB.

12.36: But seriously, I have enough reasons to play my 3DS already. Have mercy!

12.37: Seriously, we are so easy to please! NEW CHARACTER. DROP DA BOMB IWATA.

12.38: Oh wow. Wii U? Different games? How is that going to work?
