Last year, Nintendo’s E3 boxes were all the rage. Photos of these items were taken a couple of days before the Big N’s press conference, contribution to a rise in hype.

Good news, folks – the boxes are back! No, they really don’t show anything, but it’s still amusing. Plus, there’s a twist this year: there are Nintendo vehicles driving around Los Angeles!

Remember how Satoru Iwata was tweeting during E3 last year? Well, he’s back, and he’ll be doing the same thing for this year’s expo.

According to Nintendo of America’s Twitter account:

“Nintendo’s Global President will be guest tweeting in our #IwataSays series throughout #E3, beginning Monday!”

You can follow the NOA Twitter here. If Iwata tweets anything interesting, we’ll post it here.

Nintendo of America posted the image above to its Twitter account just a few minutes ago. Nintendo’s “big three” – Shigeru Miyamoto, Satoru Iwata, and Reggie Fils-Aime – have all landed in Los Angeles. They’re ready for that show, and that photo is pretty darn awesome.

Update: Nintendo of America’s Twitter account says tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct “focuses on the concept behind Wii U”. Games are coming on Tuesday, so tomorrow’s show will probably focus on the other details behind the system.

Nintendo is pulling a surprising move by holding a new “Nintendo Direct” presentation just a day before E3, and just two days before its media briefing. President Satoru Iwata will be on hand to present Wii U news.

According to Nintendo UK’s Twitter account, the event will take place at 23:00 GMT / 24:00 CET. That’s 6 PM EDT and 3 PM PDT.

You’ll be able to watch the pre-recorded presentation here.

We’ll have the latest information here for you as usual. This should be a good one…

Today’s Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed update focuses on new characters/levels.

According to a write-up on IGN, Shinobi’s Joe Musashi will be appearing as a playable character. The site describes his ride as “a transforming land, sea and air vehicle that looks as though it’s been borrowed from Batman, complete with black paint job, angular body work and stealth-dampened sound effects.”

Regarding new tracks, a Golden Axe-inspired “Adder’s Lair” level is being added. The Jet Set Radio Tokyo-to will be one of the games’ raceways as well.
