GDC reminder

This is another one of those practical reminders of what will be happening this week and when. Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo Co. Ltd., will hold a one-hour keynote speech on Thursday, 23rd of March entitled ´Disrupting Development´ at the Game Developers Conference in San Jose, California, USA. Here´s an overview of when the speech will take place in the relevant timezones:

10:30 am California, Nevada, British Columbia (PST)

11:30 am Arizona, New Mexico, Alberta (MST)

12:30 pm Louisiana, Arkansas, Manitoba (CST)

13:30 pm New York, Virginia, Quebec, Ontario (EST)

6:30 pm UK, Portugal (GMT)

7:30 pm Germany, France, Spain, Italy (CET)

The following times are for Friday, 24th of March:

2:30 am Western Australia (AWST)

4:00 am Northern Territory, South Australia (ACST)

4:30 am Queensland, New South Wales (AEST)

6:30 am New Zealand (NZST)

Also, do remember that a reputable industry magazine in the UK wrote last month that Iwata was to "unveil some key details" about the Revolution at the event. Further, IGN´s Nintendo editor Matt Casamassina said that "you’ll learn about and even see games prior to E3", as GoNintendo reported.

Most recently (but perhaps also somewhat predictably), GDC´s director Jamil Moledina is advising people: "I would strongly recommend attending the two platform keynotes from Sony’s Phil Harrison and Nintendo’s Satoru Iwata. Trust me!", as FiringSquad reported. Of course, Nintendo will save the best for last, i.e. E3. But this will also be one to watch. And where, I hear you ask? My weapon of choice will be Joystiq, who will be "blogging live from the event."
