Nintendo's E3 2016 campaigns may not be as ambitious as those of Microsoft and Sony, but the company is seeking to impress gamers by concentrating on "The Legend of Zelda" NX/Wii U, which stands out as one of the most anticipated games of this year.
According to Business Wire, Nintendo of America just announced its E3 2016 plans and laid out the projected schedule and daily activities of its presentation at the event. It also specified the time when exclusive games will be shown.
For lovers of "Zelda" game, the time of presentation of the game's footage will be on June 14, Tuesday morning. At 9 am, Nintendo of America plans to begin its E3 coverage with the company's president and COO Reggie Fils-Aime giving an introductory message, after which, Nintendo Treehouse Live will give everyone a first-look at "The Legend of Zelda's" gameplay.
Even as this is the case, not NX footage shall get aired at the E3. The reason as to why this is so, is not clear at the moment, but the on-floor "Zelda" Wii U demonstration for media in attendance will give around a 90-minute playable demo.
After "Zelda's" unveiling, Nintendo Treehouse Live, on June 15, will show more presentations for titles such as "Dragon Quest VII: Fragment of the Forgotten Past," "Tokyo Mirage Sessions," and "Monster Hunter Generations." Nevertheless, the second day will open with "Pokémon Go" developer Q&A session.
To prepare for the big event, Nintendo of America has already released artwork for "Zelda" NX/Wii U. The company took to Twitter to share the artwork.
