Nintendo will hold its 2009 E3 conference in Los Angeles, California, on the second of June, in less than one month. This thread will be the right place for predictions, comments, hopes and, of course, news. After the terrible 2008 conference, the Big N wanna see its image rise again among the core gamers. Will it do it another time? Or it's gonna be again about Wii _ and mindless waggling? Only the time will tell us who is right.
WHEN
As I've already said, the conference will be hold on 2nd June 2009, 9:00 AM.
WHERE
Los Angeles is the town, while the place is yet to be confirmed. The only thing we know for sure, via Gonintendo, is that it's not gonna be the Kodak Theatre like last year.
QUOTES, RUMORS AND NEWS
Iwata: "We can match PS2 sales with a software to be announced at this E3"
"It is not impossible for Wii’s total sales to exceed the final install base of PS2. Wii still has much more room for expansion. We can expect more sales of software in the next fiscal year than in the current year. With what kind of software is Nintendo going to achieve this goal? Well, it will be shown at E3 to be held in the U.S. this June."
*RUMOR* Wii Fit Plus coming?
This image is supposed to be from a Dutch retailer. Of course, it's just a rumor as far as we know.
Cammie Dunaway: "I'm going to talk just about games"
"I’m going to be up on stage presenting, something that your fans ought to love. But I’m not gonna snowboard, I’m not gonna show my mother’s day card. I’m just going to talk about the games."
Reggie Films Aime "We wanna satisy both core gamers and ourselves"
"From Nintendo's perspective, we always go into E3 with a very high bar wanting to satisfy not only the core fans but also ourselves."

"We haven't announced a launch date -- maybe we'll do that at E3." (Reggie Films Aime)

A couple of tips:
1)If you have any suggestions, please, let me know: it's my first "important thread" and I'm not expert, so I'd like to see you helping me.
2)Please, if you see something interesting, contact me via PM and I'll add it in the OP.
3)This is a thread to speak about videogames: do not use it to trll against Nintendo only because your life sucks and you cannot have any good friend to speak about your (huge) problems. We wanna only talk about our passion, so let's keep the thread clean avoiding craps like "lolz, nintendo am doomed, it suckz bad graphicz RAAAAGGGEEE" and so on, thank you.
