— Nintendo of Europe (@NintendoEurope) June 4, 2013
Nintendo came back from a somewhat lackluster E3 performance in 2003 with a pretty great showing in 2004.
Nintendo’s E3 2004 media briefing was led by the introduction of the DS. The system was shown off for the first time, and a couple of games were confirmed – Super Mario 64 DS and Metroid Prime: Hunters. Zelda: Twilight Princess also made its debut and saw one of the most-memorable video game unveils in the company’s history thanks to the crowd reaction.
Other moments from the conference include Reggie’s first appearance, Iwata’s Wii tease, and new trailers for games such as Metroid Prime 2, Star Fox Assault, and Resident Evil 4. In the end, though, Nintendo’s E3 2004 appearance will always be remembered for the Zelda and DS announcements.

Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Games isn’t just heading to Wii U, apparently.
Although the new Mario & Sonic was only announced for Wii U during the most-recent Nintendo Direct, there’s also a version in development for the 3DS.
IGN’s Rich George just wrote on Twitter that he received word from SEGA about the 3DS title:
Yes, SEGA confirmed that Sonic Lost World and Mario & Sonic Olympics are coming to 3DS and Wii U.

Nintendo nor SEGA have mentioned Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Games for the 3DS in any of its PR, but I guess it’s coming anyway. For what it’s worth, all previous Mario & Sonic games have launched on Nintendo consoles/handhelds.
