2.- Jim Reilly, the news editor for US publication Game Informer, has revealed via Twitter that Ubisoft’s E3 press conference will take place on June 4th at 3PM PST. Expect to hear plenty of Wii U related information including Assassin’s Creed 3 and the brand new entry to the Your Shape franchise for Wii U. We should also hear about other Wii U and Nintendo 3DS related projects.
“I think the answer would be the same if we’re talking about just porting,” he said, “but I think I’d be even more interested in creating something new maybe based on, or starting from, A Link To The Past. I think it’s important to bring some really new software.”
“To be very honest and open, it really depends on the directors that have time at the moment as well,” he said. “Some directors, I can give them the title and I know they will do something great with it.
“Other directors I’m not so 100 per cent confident [in], so they’re the ones I’d rather take a more remake approach to the title. It really depends on that as well.”
Miyamoto was also asked by the publication why Nintendo hasn’t created a new game in the F-Zero franchise. Miyamoto claims that it wouldn’t be surprising enough on current hardware, but the Wii U could be the perfect fit.
“I think at the time it was a really big surprise, a new thing, a product that made sense,” he said. “I don’t see with current hardware how you could create a similar surprise.
“But maybe with future hardware, with Wii U coming up, maybe we could create something that does make sense, either as a smaller game, or a fully fledged title.”
Silja Gülicher, head of press at Nintendo of Germany has confirmed to Nintendo Online that the company won’t be attending this years Gamescom. Nintendo is instead focussing its attention on planning their post-E3 activities with various media partners.
“Although Gamescom is an important fair for us, we have decided not to participate this year”
“Instead, we are planning our post-E3 activities to introduce the Wii U, and the latest titles for Nintendo Wii and 3DS, to trade and media partners.
“In addition to this, we are planning to hold a series of events later this year – as part of the pan-European marketing, public relations and event activities – that will offer our fans similar opportunities.”

Shigeru Miyamoto has told journalists that the one non-Nintendo game he holds in high regards at the moment is Rovio’s smash hit Angry Birds. According to Miyamoto the immensely popular Angry Birds is his favourite game of the past year.
“I usually don’t comment on these sorts of questions,” Miyamoto said, before praising the Nintendo-developed audio guide for the Louvre museum which prompted his visit to the French capital. “Non-Nintendo… Angry Birds, maybe.
“What I like about Angry Birds is that it has a traditional videogame [feel] to it, but also a very creative side. And you can really feel that they’re having fun developing the game. That’s what I like about it.”
Nintendo has announced that Pokemon Black & White 2 will be arriving in Japan on June 23rd which is the same date that was posted by an online retailer in Japan.
