What's up, everybody? Welcome back to IJN Games Group. I'm your host, Damon Heffield. I'm

joined today by Audrey Drake, new associate editor, Pear Schneider.

I don't know if he's going to work out here. Brian Antano.

We're talking about Nintendo at E3 next week. Nintendo is doing something a little different

year. Three, three, and an unprecedented move. They've opted not to have a press conference.

Instead, they're doing what? They're having a Nintendo direct on online presentation

that morning, right? Tuesday morning. Tuesday morning. Right and early.

Nice. That's nice for us. Is it like 6.30 our time or something?

Oh, it's 7 am, but yeah.

But I think for people watching the conference, not much will have changed.

Maybe it's a little less awkward and like, less stuff can go wrong because it's all

pre-scripted. I think for the outside world, it's not that big of a difference.

I think a difference for people are attending the show. Yeah, I mean, the same news is

going to come out. It's going to be basically the same thing.

Miyamoto is probably going to still have a highly in-chilled or whatever he's

going to do, but yeah, it'll be less. There's a good and bad to that.

You lose all the social awkwardness of the Wii Music debut.

Yeah, but you also lose, like, when they first showed Smash Bros.

or a New Zelda game and you hear the whole crowd erupt,

you lose all that if it's just you sitting there watching your computer

at 7 o'clock in the morning. So, I mean, there's a give and take there.

It's definitely them controlling the conversation a lot more.
