This year, Nintendo's E3 media briefing will be all "about the games," with promises from the Wii maker that we won't be subjected to tales of Mother's Day cards and on-stage snowboarding.
Yes, Nintendo of America executive vice president of Sales & Marketing Cammie Dunaway will be there. Also appearing will be Nintendo president Satoru Iwata and Reggie Fils-Aime, the company announced today. The three amigos of Nintendo's E3 keynote will be handling all new Wii and Nintendo DS announcements at this year's E3 expo, delivering a fresh batch of promises and an update on Nintendo's smiles per faces tie ratio.
Since this one's "about the games," expect more focus on promised Mario and Zelda titles, less onstage demonstrations of Personal Trainer Walking. No mention of a Wii Music jam session, but we can always hope.
The action kicks off June 2nd at 9 A.M. Pacific Time. Nintendo fans in Mario outfits bearing supportive signage can begin loitering at the Nokia Plaza in downtown Los Angeles at 7 A.M. if they'd like to be photographed.
