If Bill translates for us, we should be fine........ as long as Reggie doesn't fire Bill.
Bill is best tech
1-UP Studio used to be one of Nintendo's semi-autonomous dev teams when it was still Brownie Brown, and under that name they made Mother 3.

I hope it's Charles Martinet.
I think it will be hard to get a bundle without the dock.

Can't unhear that now, fuck you.
Zelda not releasing at launch only in Europe? Mamma mia!

As long as the presentation as a whole is better than the Sonic Mania stream, we should be okay
You are quoting the wrong posts there.
Uh, they quoted me so I'm quoting them in response?
If they have the script translated ahead of time and they use Treehouse folks to help with the dub it should be fine.
The main problem I've noticed is companies typically will have some young translator who didn't get the script ahead of time and can't keep up. They don't translate the inflections so it sounds awkward and emotionless.
I think I remember Iwata did one where they basically synched up what he was saying in Japanese to a canned audio version of the speech in English.
I would also hope it's not old Japanese men talking in front of a podium the entire time in a dark room with a Powerpoint and they bring some of their presentation from Nintendo Direct, etc to this.

Anything new and of significance today?
How is it awkward?
What do you think most of Europe or Japan do with English-only key notes and presentations??
BoW is all but confirmed for launch day release in NA and JP, as an American... yay!
Live translation is always awkward.
ALWAYS.

I thought it was totally fine on stage at the Apple presentation when they announced Super Mario Run.
If the event is sufficiently pre-scripted, it shouldn't be a problem.
Anyone have an idea how profitable that is?
We'll see. I remember how 8-4 talked about this. They said the speakers would either hand in their presentations beforehand or it would be bad. I'm just wondering how many people will know the details before the stream starts.
Something something Wetten Dass.
God..the cringe.
It was wonderful how the show tortured foreign celebs that were just there to do some quick PR.

I don't understand why Nintendo doesn't have a separate English presentation.
I don't understand why it matters.
It will be in English, just not directly from the lips of the guy presenting it.
The rest of the non-English speaking world have to deal with this all of the time, really shouldn't be an issue the other way around.

Wonder if this means there's no Japan exclusive games in the presentation?
Why would they have one ?

Hmmm I think it's intended as a worldwide presentation so perhaps not.

This. 1UP is barely Brownie Brown anymore. One of the founders formed essentially its successor as Brownies (who did Fantasy Life Link on 3DS).
The other BB founder from Square is still president of 1UP so they still have some folks there, but still, they`re just a support team now sadly. Shame Nintendo couldn't have just kept them as Brownie Brown.
The whole reason was that they were vital to getting 3D Land finished on time during the 2011 Tsunami and so it gave Nintendo the idea of just reassigning them as a pure support team ala Monolith Kyoto.
And they've only done EPD Tokyo games since aside from Tri-Force Heroes.

Is Pokemon Switch a launch game and when will we most likely have the first MonHun?
Edit: Also, GC VC on launch day?

Time, energy, money, and relevance. Unless every presentation was broadcasted simultaneously, the majority of people would watch whatever one was presented first. If they could present simultaneously, it wouldn't be geared towards each region's respective time zone differences. With all of that considered, why spend the time and money given what I listed above?

I don't understand why they aren't just doing an English presentation in the US, period, but oh well.
AVOID LEAKS
No. Sun and Moon has been out for like 2 months. There's no way a new Pokemon will be released in 2 months.

Because they are a Japanese company?
Wasn't it supposed to be called "Star" and release near launch?

Mostly so it could be geared toward more relevant information in their respective markets.

Too bad, without Zelda on launch as a European, there might be nothing for me. Hopefully I am wrong.
Codename Stars and October/November was everyones guess. Noone really knows.
