Here’s a live tweet recap from Heart1lly for those of you who may have missed Nintendo’s press conference. Quite possibly the most exciting of all the press conferences, we get a look at the new Zelda, Kirby, Metroid, Donkey Kong and of course the Nintendo 3DS!

1: Reggie has taken the stage. “Technology is only a tool. The end product, the thing that DOES matter, is the experience.”

2: Zelda! ZELDA!

3: Okay, so it looks like we’re watching some sort of quick montage for Zelda: Skyward Sword.

4: The new Zelda game uses the wii-motion plus for sword control and pulling out your shield. Interesting.

5: Seeing how the controls work for the Wayward Sword. Miyamoto is correcting Bill - and oh hey, he just popped out of the screen.

6: Something tells me I’m going to be fighting with the controls in the new Zelda. Still looks pretty cool though.

7: Miyamoto is cutting an aggressive plant down - will it drop deku sticks?

8: Haha, kind of cool. The motion from moving the sword around and around confuses some magical doors into opening.

9: You can use shield bash to kill enemies. You still use the buttons on the controllers.

10: It looks fun, but is Miyamoto having issues with his controller? It looks like he’s having a hard time with the demo.

11: Miyamoto has terrible aim. He can’t even hit a single spider on the vine.

12: ”Looks like we’re having a little interference here. Is anybody out there using wireless? Anybody?”

13: What…what are they trying to show? A beetle? What’s it do? This is just awkward.

14: They had “technical difficulties” due to wireless interference? But they’re asking people to try it out on the show floor.

15: I don’t know what really went down, but this Zelda presentation just wasn’t as good as it probably could have been. A shame.

16: I’d take a new Zelda with a standard gamecube controller any day over the wii controls.

17: New Mario game?

18: Looks to be a Mario sports game for the Wii…volleyball, hockey, dodgeball…

19: ”Mario Sports Mix” is “pure fun” according to Reggie. It’s due out next year.

20: Wii Party…an all new party game for Wii.

21: See, playing a dancing game with the Wii-mote just isn’t impressive after seeing Dance Central yesterday.

22: Golden Sun’s trailer is being shown. It’s for the Nintendo DS.

23: New Goldeneye game!

24: Goldeneye for the Wii coming out this holiday season

25: Goldeneye for Nintendo 64 is probably the only shooter I ever sunk 50+ hours into. Excited about this.

26: Disney Epic Mickey - coming out this holiday season, only for the Wii.

27: Actually, the footage being shown for Epic Mickey looks pretty nice. Right now we’re seeing Ventureland, and Smee is there.

28: Okay, this game has my attention.

29: Epic Mickey will be on the show floor for those at E3 who are interested. You can try out paint and thinner for yourselves.

30: Hmm…Reggie talking about franchises fresh. Are we going to see some Pokemon?

31: Probably won’t, but I can dream right?

32: Looks like we’ll be seeing a new Kirby?

33: Kirby is made out of yarn now and in 2D. Looks pretty.

34: It’s called “Kirby’s Epic Yarn”…Kirby is taking on the appearance of space ships, tanks, and other objects.

35:Epic Mickey was followed by Kirby’s Epic Yarn…epic, epic, epic, epic.

36: Dragon Quest IX links you up with as many as three friends. In tag mode, the game “quietly adds characters.”

37: Metroid: Other M coming out late August. Being shown the trailer right now.

38: Donkey Kong!

39: This new Donkey Kong game is a 2D side-scroller, apparently. Looks kind of similar to the Super NES games, but improved greatly.

40: It’s called “Donkey Kong Country Returns.” Not exactly shocking. It’ll be out this holiday season.

41: Oh, so we’re finally getting to the 3DS now, eh?

42: No glasses for the 3DS - Reggie announces “3D wherever you go.”

43: I’m slightly more interested in the 3DS now since there won’t be any glasses. I hate those things at movies.

44: Wow, that is one shiny DS.

45: There’s going to be only one touch screen, since “a touch screen and 3D screen do not get along very well.”

46: The Nintendo 3DS has two camera lenses on the outside. “What this means is you can also take photos and view them in 3D.”

47: Disney, Warner Bros. and Dreamworks - some of the games will be Disney’s Tangled and Dreamwork’s How to Train Your Dragon.

48: Movies, not games. My bad.

49: So the new 3DS can play movies, take 3D photos as well as play games. Sounds pretty awesome so far.

50: Kid Icarus: Uprising trailer. Lots of old characters are returning during this conference, it seems.

51: The graphics are gorgeous, I think they just sold me a 3DS.

52: The 3D part will be shown on the show floor.

53: Kingdom Hearts! Nice! Can’t wait to see that on the 3DS.

54: And a Nintendogs sequel…that features cats. Lol.

55: I was really worried about the conference at first, but it really, really picked up.

56: Some closing statements from Reggie about Nintendo having “something for everyone.”

57: The 3DS commercial/trailer is pretty entertaining. Miyamoto just got sucked into the 3DS literally by a …. puppy?

58: Yep, that was totally awesome. Day 1 buy right there.

59: Lots of women coming out onto the stage all holding the 3DS in their hands.

60: The women are demonstrators, and will be working their way out to the audience to let them try out the 3DS right now.

61: And that’s a wrap of the Nintendo E3 Press Conference. That was pretty awesome.
