Finally, a solid gold excuse to go to La La Land after all, even if E3 is going to end up as a rubbishy mini-US trade show based in a dusty old airport hanger. Nintendo is the first big name to officially sign up to get involved in IDG’s ‘consumer E3’ – the somewhat-literally named E for All Expo, taking place at the LA Conference Centre, October 18th-21st later this year.
Nintendo of America's bossman George Harrison said of the show, “The E for All Expo supports Nintendo's mission to reach as many types of consumers as possible to expand the world of video games to new audiences… Our Wii and Nintendo DS systems are all about gaming for the masses, and the E for All Expo will give consumers a chance to try out the hottest new Nintendo video games.”
By that time no doubt they'll be showing more on Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (pictured) and making more vague promises about release dates.
IDG’s show organiser Mary Dolaher, added that, “Nintendo's early involvement in E for All demonstrates the importance of a broad consumer-focused event for this industry. E for All has been shaped from the ground up with all gamers in mind, and Nintendo has proven its commitment to embracing the spectrum of gamers, as we've seen with their launch of the Wii.
“In addition to being our flagship exhibitor, Nintendo of America executive vice president of Operations Don James has agreed to serve on our Exhibitor Advisory Board. I couldn't ask for a more universally respected colleague in this new venture.”
