Nintendo Won't be Holding a Large Scale E3 Presentation

          Nintendo has recently announced that they will not be doing a public E3 press conference or E3 presentation. So what about all the people that were going to watch it online(like me)? Nintendo has said that they are,"investigating ways to deliver information about our games to our home audience around the time of E3." This move by nintendo might cause people to see it as a sign of weakness due to the fact that Sony and Microsoft are both doing e3 presentations for their latest gaming consoles. 

         Here's what Mr. Iwata has to say about this matter: 

      "At the E3 show this year, we are planning to host a few smaller events that are specifically focused on our software lineup for the U.S. market. There will be one closed event for American distributors, and we will hold another closed hands-on experience event, for mainly the Western gaming media. Also, I did not speak at last year’s presentation, and I am not planning to speak at these events at the E3 show this year either.

Apart from these exclusive events for visitors, we are continuing to investigate ways to deliver information about our games directly to our home audience around the time of E3. We will share more information about them once they have officially been decided.

During the E3 period, we will utilize our direct communication tools, such as Nintendo Direct, to deliver information to our Japanese audience, including those who are at this financial briefing, mainly focusing on the software that we are going to launch in Japan, and we will take the same approach outside Japan for the overseas fans as well."

          How do you feel about this move by Nintendo? please leave a comment bellow by clicking where it says "no comment" at tell us what you think. 

New Legend of Zelda coming soon for the 3ds

A Link to the Past

          Nintendo has just recently announced that, they are doing a remake of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for the 3ds. It will be from a 2d viewpoint like in the the original games. This new game will feature all new dungeons and an original storyline. It will also have a new feature that enables Link to become a drawing on a wall. This will allow Link to access places that were unreachable before. Of course, it will also have updated 3d graphics. As of right now, there is no release date, but I'm sure nintnedo will talk about it at E3 2013.   

Yoshi's Island 3 is coming to the 3ds

Yoshi is back!

          It's been seven years since the last Yoshi's Island, but now, Nintendo is working on a new Yoshi's Island. It was just announced in the latest Nintendo Direct. This game will bring back many of the things from the original one such as Yoshi's flutter jump and egg throw. Mr Iwata mentioned that there will be new gameplay mechanics added to the game, but we were not shown any. As of right now, this is all the information I have.
