Pre-E3 Nintendo Direct Sunday at 3:00 PT! Focus on Wii U Concept!

And so it begins. Iwata, Reggie, and Miyamoto have arrived in LA for E3. But that’s not the big news here. The big news here is that Nintendo is holding another one of their direct-to-fan presentations tomorrow to talk Wii U before the big bang of their Tuesday conference and the ska-doosh of their Wednesday software showcase. They say it’s to talk the concept behind the Wii U and such. There is bound to be plenty of fun so be sure to tune in here at 3 pm PT.

Expect this to be the beginning of a spectacular array of E3 posts here as well as me trying my hand at live tweeting throughout E3 from my couch.

Is your body ready?

Nintendo is holding a 3DS press conference at 8:00 P.M. Pacific time tonight. We already know that Nintendo will announce the clip-on circle pad accessory and Monster Hunter 3G, but will Nintendo announce any other big surprises? Well, we won’t know till 8, but we have heard rumors of a new Yoshi game and/or a new Warioware title. Let’s hope Nintendo can turn around some of the recent criticisms and negativity.
