So…We now know the official date, time, and location of the conference. Like last year, it will be held at the NOKIA Theatre. The only surprising piece of news here is that the event will be two hours long. It’s only been a one hour conference for just about as long as I can remember. Either Nintendo has a bunch of content to share, or they’ll be showing off a lot of graphs!
