Last but certainly not least, Nintendo has confirmed that its E3 press conference will kick off 9:00 a.m. PDT at the NOKIA Theatre on June 15, the same venue as last year.

We already know a portion of the conference will focus on Nintendo’s new-fangled handheld, the 3DS — which still has yet to be officially named. Perhaps we’ll catch a glimpse of the next Legend of Zelda as well.

Beyond those nuggets, there’s ample room for surprises. We’ll be on location to report on all the latest announcements as they come. Stay tuned, the big event is only a month away!
