Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo of America have both confirmed that the pre-E3 Nintendo Direct will occur on June 11th, at 10:00AM EST or 3:00PM GMT. Some things to be shown include the newest game in the Smash Bros. series, so be sure to hop on the hype train.
David and I will be covering everything shown, and I’ll be streaming live for the event, so be sure to tune in.
Microsoft unveiled their newest home console today, known officially as the XBox One. That’s going to be confusing.
You can read all about the details of the new system after the break.
Once it’s out there, you can’t go back.
Remember that time where EA was competent with their relationship with Nintendo (or the gaming community in general)? Yeah, neither do I.
In EA’s latest blunder in their trend of Nintendo hate, a top engineer, Bob Summerwill, said the above on Twitter, thus leading many fans to, well, to not be happy would be an understatement. Electronic Arts not only lacks respect for anybody, their consumers included, but also lacks control of their employees. The above tweets have since been deleted, but once they were made, there was no going back.
Does Electronic Arts have any chance of being viewed in a positive light from Nintendo fans in the future?
Nintendo and Sega have officially entered a “worldwide partnership.” The first game to come out of this partnership is known as Sonic: Lost World. Not much information is available in regards to this game, however it is known the game will be released for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.
Iwata officially said:
Sonic: Lost World is a brand new action-adventure platforming game that will launch exclusively on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.
First off, as a reminder, you can still purchase Kirby’s Adventure for the Wii U for only 30 cents until tomorrow, so if you haven’t purchased the game for the Wii U Virtual Console, I recommend doing so now.
Anyway, three Kirby games are due for release on the Wii U Virtual Console next week, and said games are:
Each game will cost $7.99 and will be available to use off-screen play on the Wii U GamePad. In my opinion, if you can only get one of these games, go for Kirby’s Super Star, one of the best Kirby games available.
Nintendo has confirmed that several games, Super Smash Bros., 3D Mario, and Mario Kart, will be shown during the E3 Nintendo Direct presentation. They sent out this tweet to confirm:
#IwataSays We will discuss new Smash Bros., 3D Mario game, Mario Kart and other Wii U titles in our #NintendoDirectNA before the start of E3

Are you more excited for the E3 Nintendo Direct or E3?
In case you missed the Nintendo Direct today (and because I failed to mention it, get your tomatoes ready), you can watch all versions of the presentation after the break:
