9:34: The conference did not start promptly. Laptops are still powered on throughout the theater. Stalemate?
9:35: The lights dim.
9:36: It's on. A giant screen rises behind the stage, and Miyamoto enters from the left, grinning like a little boy.
9:37: Mock symphony playing familiar Nintendo music as CG characters play the Legend of Zelda theme. Miyamoto is really hamming it up.

9:37: Thunderous applause. What looks like RC Pro Am is on the stage. Except this ain't your daddy's RC Pro Am. One player on an elevated stage is controlling the game using the Wii controller.
9:38: Red Steel is on now. Another player makes slashing motions with his controller. Miyamoto goes back to conducting to electronic orchestral music. Reggie welcomes the crowd with "If you're looking for the next genereation, you're in the wrong place. We're not just next, we're new. It's no longer confined to the few. It's about everyone. What you see is now always what you get. Playing is believing."

9:43: Mario fights a giant Octoboss in a pit of lava. A kid flies a biplane with the Wiimote. Metroid FPS shown.
