Nintendo’s E3 2018 video presentation seems to have a final name

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments

Update (5/17): The mention of “Nintendo Direct: E3 2018” has now been removed. It’s unclear if that’s due to the name being updated or because Nintendo didn’t want to share that name at this time.

Original (5/16): When Nintendo initially announced its plans for E3 2018 a few weeks ago, a digital presentation was confirmed. But at that time, the show didn’t actually have a name.

Now that seems to have changed. Nintendo updated its E3 website today, and it now includes the following title for the presentation: “Nintendo Direct: E3 2018”. It states specifically, “Three days of Nintendo Switch gameplay with Treehouse members and developers, starting right after Nintendo Direct: E3 2018 with Super Smash Bros.”

Kimishima on Nintendo’s goals for the fiscal year, E3 2018 plans

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

This information comes from Nintendo’s Tatsumi Kimishima…

During the fiscal year ending March 2019, we plan to drive results by positioning Nintendo Switch, which is expanding its installed base, at the core of our business, as well as through the continuation of the Nintendo 3DS business, and by expanding the scale of our smart-device business. We will also move forward with our goal of expanding the number of people who have access to Nintendo IP.
And finally, the video game tradeshow E3 will be held in Los Angeles this June. Again this year, Nintendo will not be hosting a large-scale press conference for institutional investors, analysts and the media. Instead, we plan to continue our practice from the past few years of utilizing a video presentation to introduce the games that are
planned for release during the year.
