Nintendo’s E3 presentations have typically lasted around an hour or so. That will be the case once again this year, despite the fact that the company won’t be hosting a large-scale conference.

Nintendo’s E3 Nintendo Direct, airing on June 11, will indeed be an hour long. This is confirmed through the Big N’s newly-opened E3 site. If you click the “Add it to your calender button”, you’ll find that the broadcast is set to take place between 10 AM ET / 7 AM PT and 11 AM ET / 8 PM PT.

That should be plenty of time to show off brand new Wii U titles – and hopefully some 3DS stuff as well.

Nintendo’s E3 2013 website is locked and loaded. Access it here.

Naturally, there isn’t a ton of content on the site at present, but it does confirm that a live-stream will be hosted directly on the page. Additionally, the site promises “game trailers, interviews, and more.” We’ll likely be seeing coverage similar to that of Nintendo All-Access content from previous years.

One other tidbit – Nintendo’s E3 site confirms the number of Wii U titles that will be playable at Best Buy locations. That would be four. Pikmin 3, Mario 3D, Wind Waker HD and Mario Kart Wii U are likely to be on display. Those are just my guesses!

During an AMA (“ask me anything”) on reddit last night, Precursor Games executive Shawn Jackson was asked whether or not we could see Shadow of the Eternals (a spiritual successor to Gamecube hit Eternal Darkness) come out even if the Kickstarter didn’t reach his goal. His response:

As their campaign has only reached $270,000 of their $1.5M goal, things aren’t looking great for the project as it stands right now. Unless something big happens and people get on board, we probably won’t see a spiritual sequel to Eternal Darkness anytime soon, despite how much clamoring we had for one.

Shin Megami Tensei saw an 80.14% sell-through rate during its debut week in Japan. That compares favorably to the previous entry in the series, Nocturne, which sold through 75.7% of its initial shipment.

The actual sales figures are similar as well. Shin Megami Tensei IV moved 188,562 copies in its first week while Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne sold 185,000 copies.

Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure may be releasing on September 24. A “source close to publisher Warner Bros.” provided Nintendo World Report with the date, but it “could change.”

Last year’s Scribblenauts, Scribblenauts Unlimited, shipped in November. The series’ first entry came out in September, so I suppose anything is possible.
