Nintendo E3 website goes live

4.6

Nintendo has launched an online hub for E3, where it promises to deliver its announcements directly to fans.

The site promises announcements, video tours and interviews, and features silhouette artwork for Wind Waker, Pikmin, Mario and Luigi, Beautiful 101 and more.
It also has a countdown to the firm's major E3 Nintendo Direct webcast taking place June 11 at 7am Pacific (3pm UK), which it will offer this year instead of hosting a traditional press briefing.

Company president Satoru Iwata told investors in April that Nintendo will hold one closed event for American distributors, and another closed hands-on experience event for mainly Western media, but will ditch the 'large-scale' E3 press conference.

By holding separate, smaller meetings with distributors and media, he said, Nintendo hopes it will be able to deliver its messages more appropriately and effectively based on the various needs of different groups.

Nintendo of America has confirmed plans to offer non-E3 attendees hands-on time with four unreleased Wii U games at US Best Buy locations during E3 week, starting June 10.
