And do what? I demand to see your itinerary. Do your plans include listening to Yuzo? They should.

My daily plans always include good ol Yuzo!!!

On average I arrive 3 days before the show, it' s a good way to get situated and relax a few days before the madness that is E3 begins. Last year I basically watched tons of movies during that relaxation period. Looking to do the same again this year now that Knight Rider Season 2 is out along with a few other DVDs I' m waiting on purchasing before heading out there.

I' ll also be in LA at E3 by that time. Don' t forget, conferences start as early as the 16th this year and Adam is a cruel taskmaster that expects nothing less than perfection.

And Terry is right. You never want to go head on into E3. At least give yourself a full 48 hours, because once it begins, everyone is like 24-Hour Party People.

I wish I could go to E3 but how in the heck is one like me supposed to enter it? I would go but I can' t because I have no clue on how to get in.. I thought important people are allowed to go in...

and I understand that E3 is way better then the opening of Nintendo World but that' s all I can do right now... atleast it' s something big.... I don' t want to feel dumb going there when all of you guys are at E3... but it will be fun with my friends... gives us something to do..

Starman, I hope you didn' t take my original response as trying to say that E3 is way better and more important than the opening of Nintendo World, I was only saying WHY I wouldn' t be able to attend the opening.
Had the opening been on Friday, May 13th instead of Saturday, May 14th then I would have DEFINITELY checked it out no problem. But as it is the opening is happening during my pack-up-and-leave-for-LA period. Plus it would require me to take the train from Jersey and travel an hour into New York City, whereas I work in the city Monday - Friday and could have easily stopped by then without a problem. It all comes down to convenience at this point, the timing of Nintendo World' s opening just isn' t convenient for me. I would have definitely loved to check it out though!

I definitely wanna check out this store next time I am " pimping it out" in NY MF-ing C. However this may not be for a few months till after E3!

And yes I will be expecting perfection from all staff at the show. 6.30 SHARP breakfast check-in meeting every morning! Jog around the block! 100 push-ups! Then, 634 interviews each to do during each day of the show.

You think we' re kidding...

Please avoid asking generic questions!

I don' t want to see questions like " How do you think the next generation will shape up?" asked to everybody. Nobody can predict the future. I' d rather know more about them on a personal level. Why they make crappy games, etc.

Hey!

If someone else pays (that' s all expenses paid) for it, I' ll go to either the Nintendo World opening or E3!

Just let me know when to be ready...

Just a question:

What would be worth shopping for at a Nintendo store? Nintendo doesn' t exactly have a lot of product.
