One big addition will be new ways of adding friends. You’ll be able to connect with those you know by email, among other methods.

Nintendo also says the Miitomo update will let users answer the same question as others when looking at “All Answers” while also making it possible to edit a Miifoto before posting it as a comment. Finally, there will be speed optimizations as well.

Aside from highlighting the upcoming Zelda game, Nintendo isn’t doing a whole lot at E3 this year. That being said, the company will be hosting a presentation for “business partners that will showcase key launches and programs through Holiday 2016.” Nintendo has conducted similar events in the past.

The presentation will be held on June 14 between 9 AM and 10 AM PT (12 PM ET and 1 PM ET). Keep in mind that it’s unlikely that we’ll be seeing much from this. If nothing else, it’s interesting to see this part of Nintendo’s E3 traditions is still alive!
