Nintendo teases E3 2014 plans

Nintendo has outlined its plans for E3 2014 as it plans to offer a series of new channels to communicate news directly to its key audiences, including fans, media, analysts, investors and business partners.

This includes a new format for unveiling news: the Nintendo Digital Event; a Super Smash Bros. tournament; and a full slate of live, in-depth game demos from the Nintendo booth.

To commemorate the upcoming release of Super Smash Bros, Nintendo is inviting 16 highly skilled players to the NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles to compete in a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament. More information about the 16 invited participants in the tournament, the identity of the announcers, and how fans can view the tournament in person and via webcast, will be announced later.

In 2013, Nintendo decided to forgo a traditional press conference and use a video – in that case a Nintendo Direct – to share its news from E3. The company is building on that approach at E3 2014 with the Nintendo Digital Event, a new kind of video programme that will reveal and provide further detail about the games on the way for Nintendo platforms in 2014 and beyond. The Nintendo Digital Event will air at 9AM PST / 12 noon EST / 6PM CEST on Tuesday June 10th.

More details about each event, including dates, times, locations and game content will be revealed shortly. To follow all of Nintendo’s E3 activities, fans can visit Nintendo's E3 website.
