Nintendo Details E3 Plans, Revives World Championships

Nintendo has announced its plans for E3 this year, with a presentation scheduled for June 16th at 09:00 PDT/12:00 EDT/17:00 BST/18:00 CEST.  

As has been the case for the last several years, there will be no press conference this year, with the publisher opting for a streaming presentation instead.

The news and announcements will focus on Wii U and 3DS games, with no smartphone or NX announcements during this year's show. 

Mario Maker, Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, Yoshi's Woolly World, and Xenoblade Chronicles X are all coming this year and are likely to feature significantly in Nintendo's presentation. The Legend of Zelda Wii U will not be at the show, however.  

For the first time in 25 years a Nintendo World Championships tournament will take place with regional events across the U.S. with various Nintendo games involved ahead of the grand final in Los Angeles during E3 itself. 

A Treehouse Live stream will broadcast gameplay from the new titles during the vent for those watching at home.
