By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Been waiting FOR YEARS FOR THIS HOUR!
Oh my gosh. We're... it's... WHOOOO. I can BARELY BREATHE. People around me are thinking I'm going to have a heart attack or something. My hype has gone over obsessive — all I can think about is Nintendo and its press conference. Last night, Sony destroyed Microsoft in a very long but destructive presentation. Unfortuntately, scheduling prevents me from being on AIM with the rest of my Koopa Keep buddies, so I'm doing my own individual live reaction. This is completely independent of what other people think, and I have no idea what my colleagues are thinking as we, and hundreds of thousands (millions?) of Nintendo fans all watch this presentation at the same time. I have no contact with them. No hivemind here. Just Ludwig, the livestream, and his Notepad document.

I like when the countdown on the website has one second in the seconds timer, it goes from "seconds" to "second". THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT THE ACCURACY. I'd take a screencap but this is a public computer and all. I'm probably risking my own security by using it.

This music pisses me off, probably because it's cut-off every other second. "Outstanding new power-up in the game...which is featured in the game's logo." Yeah I guess they did that before too. Cat Mario. Fucking furry porn probably already exists of this.

Wii Party U October, Wii Fit U December. Incredibly high-quality drawings. Had no idea Miiverse would be used in this way. More complete drawing tools based on the fact people use Miiverse for art. So Art Academy!

10:45
Well now I guess I have to wait for the Direct to be uploaded to YouTube later so I can actually watch the whole thing uninterrupted from the beginning. Uh, I was trying to say earlier that Bowser now has a slide attack has his dash. Well. Guess it's over now.
10:47
Please don't suck my cock.
10:50
I guess Mega Man single-handedly Metal-Blade'd the rest of the stream from existence. Maybe Rawk was right about Capcom keeping Smash 4 hostage? I mean clearly they just killed the Direct.
10:53
Okay the Smash 4 trailer is on YouTube going to watch it now.
10:54
Mega Man is in a different trailer?! What the hell is going on. x.x
