Sega Japan’s released a YouTube movie of its 2009 press conference last week, as you can see after the break.

There’s footage in there of Bayonetta and End of Eternity, among others, and apparently this marks something of a watershed from a Japanese publisher, who aren’t overly inclined to embrace this whole internet “viral” thing in the main.

Thanks, Siliconera.

Microsoft’s offering a trip to E3 and a car in this competition, but you can only enter if you’re American. Which is great and rubbish, all at the same time.

• $3000 cash (1k for travel and 2k for car taxes)

Get to it, American videogame fans.

Here we go. Sony’s finally confirmed the timing for its E3 press conference.

The briefing will take place of June 2 at 11.00am PST. The Nintendo conference will precede it at 9.00am.

The Microsoft conference will come the day before. It’s taking place on June 1 at 9.00am PST.

Microsoft just confirmed that its E3 press conference will take place on Monday, June 1 this year.

We’re already pumped. We’re sitting here pumping. It kicks off at 10.30am PST.

Thanks, Kotaku.

This Gamekyo story claims that Nintendo’s going to show an old franchise update at its press conference this week. Like, dur. From the piece:

Nintendo seems to be hiding some more surprises for its upcoming Japanese press conference next Thursday. Everyone is talking about a new model of the Nintendo DS that includes a camera, but what you don’t know is that Nintendo has a new game to show. We can announce today that Nintendo will reveal a new game for the Wii during this event which is actually an old franchise that everyone is waiting for. Nintendo press conference will be held in Japan on October 2nd.

What could it be?

Missed this yesterday. According to Gamekyo, the latest edition of Famitsu has confirmed a Level-5 press conference in Japan next week, at which you can expect “shocking announcements.”

The company is currently finishing up on White Knight Story, which has been confirmed for a Christmas Day release in Japan.

What could this mean? Thanks, Blerk.

Good news. According to this NSJ piece – translated by Kotaku – Nintendo is to hold a Japanese press event on October 2.

It’s called, fittingly, “Nintendo Conference Autumn 2008.” The firm is to show “new products,” apparently. These may be the “core” games you’re looking for, trooper.
