Nintendo will not hold conference at E3

Nintendo offically revealed that they will not host a large-scale press conference event at E3 this year as they have done in the past. Instead, there will be one closed event for American distributors, and another for the Western gaming media.

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.

Newly promoted CEO for Nintendo of America, Satoru Iwata, will not speak at any of the E3 events.
