Nintendo has recently revealed their plans to show other game titles at E3 2016. Previously, many game enthusiasts were disappointed thinking that Nintendo will only feature "The Legend of Zelda."
Nintendo has announced that will be they will be showcasing other games besides "The Legend of Zelda" during their attendance at the biggest annual video game trade fair that is happening later this month, according to Kotaku. It should be noted though there has been no Nintendo Direct scheduled to follow such announcement yet.
Moreover, the video game-dedicated blog has learned from Nintendo's press release that though the two-day "Nintendo Treehouse: Live" program will focus mainly on streaming live gameplay of "The Legend of Zelda" for Wii U, it will also feature other video games. On day one, June 14 at 9AM, the first-ever live gameplay of "Pokémon Sun" and "Pokémon Moon" reportedly will be the program kick starter.
On June 15, Nintendo Treehouse: Live at E3 will feature future releases for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS consoles such as "Monster Hunter Generations," "Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past" and "Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE." Nintendo will reportedly hold a special Q&A session with the "Pokémon GO" developer at the onset of day two.
On the other hand, because "The Legend of Zelda" is reportedly the main focus of Nintendo at the upcoming expo, fans can expect to see very lengthy demos. IGN has learned that new open-world Zelda title will have two extended demos that could take 90 minutes to complete.
In the said two demos, the players will get the opportunity to enter the wastelands of Hyrule to explore the prairies, forests and mountains first-hand that the developer had previously teased in only small bits and pieces. Furthermore, the video game news site has learned that 500 Zelda fans from New York city will have the opportunity to play the Wii U game ahead of E3.
Meanwhile, for those who cannot come to the event that will be held in the Los Angeles Convention Center, Nintendo a day-long stream of "Nintendo Treehouse: Live" to keep everyone in the loop with game updates, footages and developer interviews.
"The Legend of Zelda" for Wii U, which will also be available on the upcoming Nintendo NX, is expected to be released sometime in 2017.
