Nintendo is getting a jump on E3 by holding a surprise Nintendo Direct Conference Sunday afternoon.

The Nintendo Direct stream will be here at 3 PM Pacific Time, and Nintendo is promising new information about the Wii U. Nintendo's official E3 conference will be held Tuesday at 9 AM Pacific Time. I'm guessing the event will only last as long as it takes for Saturo Iwata to come on and say, "first," and then sign off.

Here's a picture of Nintendo's decision makers getting excited for E3 that just posted to Nintendo's Facebook page. I'd like to think that Shigeru Miyamoto and Reggie Fils-Aime are shaking hands, and Iwata was suddenly overcome with jealousy and tried to get involved in the handshake as awkwardly as possible.

    I'm thinking it's because Microsoft is planning on releasing details on their next console, and if they do on monday morning then no one will care what they reveal on tuesday...

    Ehh... I have a feeling this whole Wii U thing is going to flop. Yes, I know we haven't even seen what it can really do yet, but I think it is a major misstep for Nintendo.

    Awesome, can't wait. I will miss their live E3 show on Tuesday (in class teaching), so I am happy some info will be announced tomorrow.

    Iwata almost looks like he is wearing a lab coat. It's like the 6 Million Dollar Game Company Leader. We can rebuild him smarter, more awkward, and capable of making classic games, while simultaneously angering the fanbase. By combing Miyamoto and Fils-Aime, I give you: MIYA-AIME *Insert cool theme music* This could totally be a hit on NBC. It's not like they would have any competition there.

    Looking forward to seeing a link or Mario game. Yes, people I said it and I hope there's a dk and star fox and Kirby.

    I would think that if they were to change the name, they would do so during this event so that E3 will be just about the games.

    I find that picture very humorous... Can't wait to see what they're going to talk about for the Wii U!

    To me Nintendo is nothing more than a toy company. Their games are a joke and their systems other than than the hand held's is a joke.
