Nintendo has a habit of sending out Swapnotes about its big events. The company’s E3 2012 media briefing is no different.

Nintendo of America president has sent out a notice about tomorrow’s conference, along with a very short audio message. You can find photos of Reggie’s Swapnote in the gallery above.

We have a few more details on Nintendo’s plans for E3 2012.

As has been the case for the past few years, a developer roundtable will be held on Tuesday at 6:00 PM PDT / 9:00 PM EDT. It won’t be streamed live, but it a video of some sort may be ready to go the following day at 11:30 PM PDT.

Nintendo’s final event will be a “software showcase”. It’ll be happening on Wednesday at 6:00 PM PDT / 9:00 PM EDT. This event will indeed be live-streamed, and you’ll be able to watch it here.

IGN believes that “the possibility of a new game or two being announced at this event are pretty high”. I have no idea if we’ll see actual game announcements, but you never know. Maybe Nintendo will pull another Super Smash Bros. Brawl…

We’ll be reminding you of these events throughout the week. We’ll also post any live-streams to the main site if possible.

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…
