Nintendo Confirms E3 2011 Conference Details
Posted by James Newton
Where will you be?
One of the most exciting days in the gaming calendar is just four weeks away, as Nintendo has announced the date, time and location of its E3 press conference.
The big event kicks off on Tuesday 7th June at 9am Pacific Time at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. As always, Nintendo Life will be bringing you all the news live — we'll have the first playtest of the new Nintendo console, as well as interviews, videos, screenshots and more.
Tuesday 7th June 2011
West Coast: 9am
East Coast: 12pm
UK: 5pm
Central European Time: 6pm
Adelaide: 1:30am, Wednesday 8th June
For more time conversions, we've set up a helpful E3 2011 conference time difference calculator.

Lan said:
i watched Nintendo's E3 presentation the past two years, i hope i can go 3 for 3!

Corbs said:
Just got registered, so I'll likely be in the audience chomping on Smarties.
#4
James said:
@Corbs Make sure you crunch them loud enough for the microphones to pick up on. Maybe throw a few at the new guy, just to get you noticed.
#5
Lan said:
smarties don't really crunch...
#6
Mange said:
Café Vitality Sensor... Yaay

Cipher said:
Where will I be? I will be there.

Odnetnin said:
Yeah, Smarties pretty much just dissolve in your mouth.
Thanks for the calculator.

Really wish I could join Nintendo E3 2011, but alas, I don't have money.
Oh well, will still be watching. Really looking forward to hearing the new console.

SilverBaretta said:
Sounds like a plan. And personally Corbs, I prefer Skittles.
Also, I'm liking the new tabs on top.

Incognito_D said:
I hate how it always starts at 5 - hardly enough time to get home from work!

JRAPOCALYPSE said:
Cannot wait to see if it really does look like a modern/retro snes.

Xkhaoz said:
Yay, i'm out of school that week
#14
James said:
The Smarties you guys have over there must be different from the ones we have here, which are definitely crunchy.
#15
MasterGraveheart said:
I'll be rolling out of bed and flipping on my computer to watch the live feed... and scaring my neighbors with my hooting and hollaring. XD

jayjay99 said:
Were can u watch it''is it on tv?
#17
Kid_A said:
A) Smarties are definitely crunchy.
B) Yay! E3!

Dev said:
Stupid last day of school will keep me from watching E3 live... again. You all better believe it when I say that I will have my computer waiting on Youtube ready to be watched afterward the second I enter my house to see how the whole conference played out.
#19
King_Boo said:
so much waiting, I don't have much to do. I hope Nintendo lets the Wii go out with a bang, and nice work on the new tab bar, doesn't really look cluttered at all
#20
kurtasbestos said:
I skipped out on work last year so I could watch... I hope I can pull it off again this year.
#21
Hoffkage said:
When it ends Ill be leaving at work. ARRRRRGGGGGHHHH
#22
SilverBaretta said:
@jayjay99: Usually you can watch it on the channel G4, but it usually isn't included in standard television packages.
#23
The_Fox said:
We'll see the new Nintendo system first hand and probably see early details of the competitions as well. This E3 should be pretty interesting.
#24
Sylverstone said:
I hope Corbie has a huge NL logo hovering above him.
#25
Natie31 said:
So happy can't wait to watch it all!
#26
fishman100 said:
Midnight for EST?? Lol (jk, I know it's noon.)
Is it always at the Nokia Theatre?
#27
PunnyGuy said:
I'll be there! By the way, you can either crunch on Smarties or let them dissolve in your mouth. It's a multi-talented candy.
#28
Aviator said:
Haha, why is Adelaide there?
For AEST, it's 2am.
#29
RYBlast said:
There are times when I really wish I lived where I used to live just for a conference, and this E3 is no exception.
#30
DivineDope said:
The Most Exciting Ever! Thanks Newton 'N Corbs 'N Such!
#31
Rob_mc_1 said:
Peanuts in the smarties also would help.
#32
MarioPartyFan999 said:
Yeah I thought it was a bit odd including Adelaide instead of Melbourne/Sydney or even Perth. For Perth it's midnight Tues/Wednesday. And I shall be watching it again.
#33
Merfairy said:
Yay! They stream it live on the Internet, right? If so, what websites are most likely to have it? ( sorry kind of new to all this
)
#34
Lan said:
smarties kinda crumble, but there isn't really an audible crunch
#35
NintendoFanGuy said:
Woot NINTENDO FORAVAA
#36
SilverBaretta said:
@Merfairy: It's usually at http://e3.nintendo.com/
...or something similar.

WaveBoy said:
I still can't believe the Wii2 is going to be unveiled in 1 month!!! It feels like Yesterday when I got my Wii, it honestly doesn't even feel it's been over 4 years since the Wii has been released.
Anyways, time to play catch up with the Wii this month and lay off the Virtual Console for a while. LOL

Lan said:
i think UK smarties are basically m&ms
#41
TheAmazingRaccoon said:
4am
I will be looking to find an archived copy of it at a more reasonable hour
#42
Stine said:
4 weeks?! O.O For some reason I thought it was longer... anyway, can't wait!
#43
CerealKiller062 said:
People keep forgetting about the big picture... when is the new Zelda coming out?
#44
WaveBoy said:
@43
Zelda being the big picture? I don't care how amazing it looks, or any upcoming Nintendo game for that matter. NO game on the planet can reach the massive excitement based on the enveiling of a new Nintendo Console. Take that bud!
#45
SpicyDuck said:
Forget this, when's that Eshop update coming for the 3DS?
Just Kidding! I may not be there, But I'll be glued to the pc at that time and nobody better be trying to get me off!
#46
TeeJay said:
@44 Except Ocarina of Time.
#47
Peacock said:
(Checks calendar and sees that I have my last exam at that time)
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
#48
thebluelight1 said:
@40 same idea but Smarties are a lot nicer
#49
Aviator said:
@TeeJay maybe 13 years ago.

Robo-goose said:
You kids have fun! Also, try not to get too dirty.
#51
Nintendaholic said:
Holy crap it looks like the top section got a lot better
#52
Henmii said:
I will watch it online, like I did the past 2 years. It looks like it will be a packed E3 for Nintendo. Looking forward to it!
#53
LightSamus said:
I wish I could go to this
#54
AD3Supa said:
I will be wherever there is a live stream. Of course, if I miss any details, I will be back on Nintendo Life.
#55
thesignpainter said:
i won't be there ether unfortunately.
#56
Raylax said:
I have learnt something from this. American Smarties are what we call Fizzlers and UK Smarties don't exist in America. And according to chat, NA doesn't have Jaffa Cakes either. You poor, desolate people **cries**
And I haven't the first clue what the actual article was about any more.
#57
Fuzzy said:
Ha, well I live in Adelaide, so I think I will just read a recap in the morning.
#58
WiiLovePeace said:
Oh man, 2am! Well I'll try to stay up for it, but otherwise I'll just go straight to the video recording of the conference on Nintendo's site & avoid any other websites until I watch the whole thing
#59
bboy2970 said:
Ah! Another year of sleeping in until 11:30, slowly waking up, preparing some type of food and a beverage, and then curling up in front of the computer in anticipation for the show! Its better than Christmas!
#60
CerealKiller062 said:
@WaveBoy
You also have to remember that a console is just a waste of electricity without good games. If I wanted to go on the Internet using my tv to watch videos, I would just plug my PC into the tv. Still hopefully new Zelda announcement.
#61
WaveBoy said:
What Nintendo console doesn't have 'good' games? It's guaranteed.
Although the N64 imo was quite the dissapointment on the other hand...It just didn't have enough, or enough variety.
#62
Wheels2050 said:
@Aviator: Because Adelaide is awesome! (Plus, more like RADelaide!).
Ahem.
#63
James said:
US and UK Smarties are different? My world just collapsed. Corb, I'll send you out some UK Smarties with your copy of Lost in Shadow
#64
Linkstrikesback said:
7th june? damit, really? I'm in an exam until 5:30Pm (UK time)
#65
Corbs said:
I've never had a UK Smartie. Are they good?
#66
neepy said:
where will I be?
I will be at home watching the conference
#67
Capt_N said:
I'll be watching online, as usual. Still it would be nice to try out the console, & see things firsthand.
Btw, Wonka Gobstoppers FTW! None of this Smarties business. Edit: Though Smarties are good.
#68
Wheels2050 said:
Aargh! I'm moving to the US soon - I'm gonna miss having proper Smarties!
#69
ToneDeath said:
I'd say send Corbie some jaffa cakes too, but there's a danger he'll enjoy them so much he won't be able to concentrate on the conference!
#70
Shiryu said:
While I still have a distinct feeling it will be another F-Zeroless e3, I can hardly wait for it to come.
#71
Nintendaholic said:
does any one know if they will be streaming it live on nintendo's site
#72
beatalLiToaD said:
@Corbs: make sure to raise a Ness figurine if Miyamoto takes the stage.
We all know it worked with Mario, right.
#73
JimLad said:
This is like the Super Bowl/Wimbledon/X Factor Final for me.
It's the only thing I will cancel all plans for, to watch the live feed with a desk full of snacks.
#74
James said:
@mariosmyhero Yes, it will be live streamed
#75
odd69 said:
I will make sure to check it out!! Im here everyday but will be GLUED to NL for a while

Cant Wait....

FonistofCruxis said:
I can't wait to see what the new 3D mario platformer is like.
#78
MadScientistMan said:
@66:Corbs
Yeah, however I don't know the difference between US Smarties; never had them
#79
Neo-GeoFan said:
I will be visiting my Grandparents during the conference, though I will still watch it as my grandparents have 2 computers.

motang said:
