This information comes from Nintendo of America’s Twitter account…

“I’m here now at the Nokia Theatre preparing for our #NintE3ndo presentation tomorrow. I hope you enjoy the show. I arrived here at #E3 on Saturday from Japan, so I’m still experiencing jet lag. I’ve been making my #NintE3ndo speech in English since 2001, but I find it’s still tough to deliver my speech not in Japanese. It’s not easy to prepare a smooth #NintE3ndo presentation, but we enjoy it. Now Mr. Miyamoto is changing his script again!”

Come on, Iwata! Throw us a bone. A sneak peak would be nice! Or a photo of Reggie holding a sign so that it can be photoshopped in various ways just like last year!

This information comes from Nintendo of America’s Twitter account…

“#NintE3ndo President Satoru Iwata sending you greetings from #E3. I’ll be here guest tweeting this week only. #IwataSays”

Too bad it’s only a week! It’s going to be really amusing to see what Iwata has to say. Maybe we’ll get another photo of Reggie or Iwata from E3 rehearsals today…

Can you tell that I’d like for it to be 12:00 PM EDT on Tuesday right now?

Nintendo of Japan has now joined North America by opening an E3 site of their own. Fans can expect a live stream of the company’s media briefing on Tuesday and it will be available for viewing later. The site will most likely see a full reveal once the conference has ended.

Can’t see much just yet, but we’ll definitely be getting a better look on Tuesday/Wednesday. Maybe Austin can take a few photos for the site while he’s walking through the convention halls!

Update: Added a couple of photos.

You know we’re desperate for Nintendo’s E3 2011 briefing to begin when we start posting boxes. But yes, someone has come across cases and boxes for Nintendo, which I assume houses all sorts of goodies. Might Project Cafe consoles be inside one of those boxes?

GameTrailers’ Skyward Sword demo won’t be the only Nintendo-related item they’ll be featuring on Tuesday. Following the Big N’s conference, they’ll also have an interview with Nintendo of America’s head honcho, Reggie Fils-Aime.

Hopefully Geoff Keighley won’t have to ask Reggie why Animal Crossing was the only “hardcore” game announced for Project Cafe. I kid, but I’m sure you all remember when Reggie hyped up a big, hardcore title for E3 2008, but that project turned out to be Animal Crossing: City Folk. Yeah, that E3 was kind of a disaster.

Anyway, before I digress too much, here’s the official description of GameTrailers’ Nintendo coverage on Tuesday:

“11:00AM PDT
Reggie, Zelda, NGP and More
Streaming Live on GameTrailers.com

The big man Reggie Fils-Aime meets up with Geoff – and this time it’s live! You don’t want to miss this interview. Plus, the first ever demo of THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: SKYWARD SWORD”

This show wasn’t what I was expecting. It wasn’t live, and there was no Tak Fujii appearance! On the bright side, we did receive a new Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D trailer.

Does IGN know something we don’t about Nintendo’s presence at E3? That might possible, based on a tease from Rich George.

Of course, Nintendo will have a presentation on Tuesday, followed by a developer’s roundtable later in the day. But it sounds like there could be another round of significant news from Nintendo on Wednesday.

George wrote in a recent article:

“This year, expect to hear news outside of the press conference. Not only in the form of impressions, videos and a few interviews, but I would make sure you’re checking the IGN Nintendo sites on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. I will have live blogs fired up.”

As far as I’m aware, Nintendo has never delivered any additional news the day following their conference. You have to wonder what they have planned…

Kid Icarus: Uprising producer Masahiro Sakurai has posted a photo of his E3 2011 badge on his Twitter account. While that alone probably isn’t much to get excited about, it does hint that a reveal for Zelda’s 25th anniversary is imminent. The badge also, expectedly, has a Skyward Sword theme, so that title will definitely be making an appearance as well.

Yesterday, Eiji Aonuma said that he’d be making an announcement about the franchise at E3. However, it isn’t clear if he implied that it’ll be specifically about a new game, or something else entirely.

We’ll only have to wait a few days longer to find out what Nintendo has in store for the series’ anniversary.
