Reminder: Nintendo’s events at E3 2013

There won’t be a Nintendo press conference at E3 2013 today, but Nintendo is holding a few major events that you should be aware up.

First up is the Nintendo Direct, which will take place at 10 AM ET / 7 AM PT. We’ll be getting first looks at Smash Bros., new 3D Mario and Mario Kart titles for Wii U, and a lot more. These three games alone should be better than Nintendo’s past two E3 events put together! You’ll want to visit Nintendo Everything during the Nintendo Direct for live news updates and trailers, and we’ll continue with our coverage once the presentation ends.

Next up will be Nintendo’s “Wii U Software Showcase” at 1:30 PM ET / 10:30 AM PT. This won’t be live-streamed, and it’s not really a conference, as its mainly an opportunity for the press to try out new games. But Reggie Fils-Aime and Shigeru Miyamoto will be in attendance, so there could be a few interesting nuggets.

Nintendo’s last major event is the Pokemon X/Y roundtable at 9 PM ET / 6 PM PT. We’ll be covering this one as well as things happen. Expect a healthy dose of news regarding Pokemon X/Y.

Oh, and there’s also GameTrailers’ “Nintendo Power Hour” at 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT!

If that wasn’t enough, we’ll be having extensive original content for all of the big Nintendo games – podcasts, previews, videos, and photos – throughout the show. You can find all of our plans here.

Should be a fun few days ahead.
