As far as we can tell, Nintendo’s E3 2012 media briefing will be all about their new baby, Wii U. But the previously announced “software showcase” will focus on their other system, the 3DS.

Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, will be hosting the event. You’ll be able to view a live-stream on Wednesday at 9:00 PM EDT / 6:00 PM PDT. It’ll be an hour long.

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.

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments

For the past few years, Nikkei has reported on a number of elements set to be announced during Nintendo’s E3 2012 presentations. The publication has followed its tradition once again this year, providing possible news regarding news during tomorrow’s conference.

If Nikkei is to be believed, a new 3DS model is on the way, and it’ll feature a larger, 4.3 inch top screen – that’s 1.5 times the current size. Apparently this update could hit North America, Japan, and Europe as early as Summer 2012.

Nikkei also published rumors about Wii U, which will supposedly be priced at roughly 300,000 yen. That’s roughly $383, though Nintendo would likely adjust that price for other markets. It should be made clear that this is not the final price from Nintendo, and we won’t be hearing about this tomorrow.

Nikkei’s other Wii U rumor suggests that the console will be capable of distributing non-game content such as a car navigator, books, and a karaoke service featuring approximately 10,000 songs.

Update: Ubisoft just sent out the PR about the game – no Wii U version is confirmed. Looks like the original rumor was only half-correct. You can find all updates about this title on Gaming Everything from here on out, including the official announcement.

Again, we’ve been hearing about a mix of platforms for Splinter Cell: Blacklist. Obviously this is the Xbox 360 version being shown, but it’s supposedly coming to Wii U, PS3, and PC as well. We’ll see…
