With one week to go, we've put together a complete guide to this year's E3 show so you know exactly what's on offer, when and how to watch it.
We've compiled a list of the major press conferences and live events and converted them into a range of time zones so you know exactly when to come to Nintendo Life to get all the news, updates and discussion. We're nice like that.
If you don't see your time zone listed or aren't sure what time it is where you are, use this time zone converter to find out.
This should be the full line-up but we'll update with any other important dates and times as and when we hear them.
Thursday 31st May
Konami Press Conference
When: 10:30pm Pacific / Friday 1st June 1:30am Eastern / 6:30am UK / 7:30am Central European / 3:30pm Eastern Standard Australian Time
Where to Watch: http://www.konami.com/e3
Monday 4th June
EA Press Conference
When: 1pm Pacific / 4pm Eastern / 9pm UK / 10pm Central European / Tuesday 5th June, 6am Eastern Standard Australian Time.
Where to Watch: EA.com, MTV 2 and Spike TV.
EA and Nintendo have an "unprecedented partnership" for Wii U, but we probably won't hear anything about that at this press conference. We could get our first look at EA's Wii U games — the publisher's doing FIFA 13 among others — but we'll have to wait and see.
Ubisoft Press Conference
When: 3pm Pacific / 6pm Eastern / 11pm UK / Tuesday 5th June, 12am Central European / 8am Australian Eastern Standard Time.
Where to Watch: Here at Nintendo Life.
Ubisoft has confirmed it will show off Wii U games during its conference, so this is one you won't want to miss. We'll have all the big announcements and media content just for you.
Tuesday, 5th June
Nintendo Press Conference
When: 9am Pacific / 12 midday Eastern / 5pm UK / 6pm Central European Time / Wednesday 6th June, 2am Australian Eastern Standard Time.
Where to Watch: Here at Nintendo Life, http://e3.nintendo.com, Facebook, on MTV2 and Spike TV.
The big one. Wii U and 3DS are set for massive shows and there'll be plenty to dissect and discuss. If you can't watch the video feed live, we'll have a live text update service on Nintendo Life so you can keep up with all the big announcements.
We'll also have all the news, media, reaction and community you could ask for, so make sure you keep it locked on Nintendo Life on 5th June.
Developer discussion with Wii U hardware producer Katsuya Eguchi
When: 11:30 pm Pacific / Wednesday 6th June 2:30am Eastern / 7:30am UK / 8:30am Central European / 4:30pm Australian Eastern Standard Time.
Where to Watch: http://e3.nintendo.com.
Last year we heard from Satoru Iwata and Shigeru Miyamoto, but this year we'll hear from the console's producer, Katsuya Eguchi, whom you may know from his work on the Animal Crossing and Wii Sports series.
Wednesday 6th June
Nintendo Software Showcase
When: 6pm Pacific / 9pm Eastern / Thursday 7th June, 2am UK / 3am Central European / 11am Australian Eastern Standard Time.
Where to Watch: http://e3.nintendo.com.
This is likely to be a tour of the Nintendo booth, as the showfloor closes to visitors at 6pm, so expect in-depth looks at all Nintendo's games.
We'll update this post with new information so make sure you bookmark it to help you plan your E3 viewing and less important things like eating, sleeping and toilet breaks.

I'm so greatful that Tuesday is a Bank Holiday in the UK
chooooo chooooooo hypetrain incomming !!!!!
CANT WAIT !!!
Cool.
I highly doubt I'll bother getting up at 6am to watch the EA presentation, but I'll probably check out the Ubisoft one at 8am Tuesday morning here to see what they have to offer for the Wii U, and there's no way I'd ever miss Nintendo's one at 2am on Wedensday morning.
Can't wait!
Make sure you bookmark that Ubisoft link too
Watching all the Nintendo stuffs on Spike.
Awesome. I'll check out EA's and Ubisoft's when I can, but will definitely be up for the big one. E3 can't come soon enough.
Dam! I have to return to school on the 4th I shall be watching the conference on the 5th though! Out of them all I can only see two of them
Wood Nintendo conference, ubi.... Not so much
WOW! The Queens Diamond jubilee AND the Nintendo Press Conference on the same day!!! I dont know what im more excited for.. lol
Still at least its a day off for everybody on that Tuesday we can get to watch the conference live
NintendoLIfe: Ubisoft's Eastern time should be 6 not 5
I'm nervous - haha!
@Nin-freak Good spot! Rectified now
I'll watch Nintendo Press Conference and probably Discussion with Eguchi. I'd also like to see Ubisoft and Software Showcase but they have so bad timing. Not going to stay awake till 1am to see Ubisoft or wake up at 4am to see Software Showcase. Thankfully there's Nintendo Life
I think I'll watch the Nintendo one online, and just catch the interesting news from the others here at Nintendo Life. I know you guys will do an awesome job, like usual. (:
I wonder if work would consider this a reason to take a day off...probably not. Bummer. Well, thanks for all the coverage you guys provide. I'll be checking in as much as I can.
Bring on the craziness!
I know what I'm doing on my lunch break next Tuesday. It's going to be great!
Thankyou Diamond Jubilee! UK Bank Holiday on Tuesday 5th June!
I know how I will be spending it!
Does anyone know what time Sony, Microsoft and anybody elses conference not metioned here is happening?
@PikminMonster You're in the UK, right? Microsoft is 5pm Monday, Sony is 2am Tuesday morning.
I'll be watching it live! Can't wait!
i can watch the start of it online but I have classes all day I'll just record it and turn off my twitter. I like surprises, and honestly I hate getting a thousand twitter updates from you guys on these dates. It's always on my to do list. Turn off NL twitter on conference days. It kinda kills my phone too
I'll have to make sure to get up by 11 AM next Tuesday, as I've never had the chance to watch Nintendo's E3 Conference live before, and I can even watch it on TV now.
I JUST CANT WAIIIT!!!! Dies
@James I have a list of all the times, so I knew something was up
I'll be sure watch Nintendo's conference (I'll probably stream it, as not to miss anything).
Any news on if Capcom, Square Enix, Sega, Namco Bandai, or Tecmo Koei are going to hold any press conferences?
Nope but I believe Konami has a prerecorded press conference this Friday we'll be covering
I won't be able to watch the Nintendo Confrence live . I will just record it though, I will make the Sony and Ubisoft confrences live though:).
@James: hooray, Konami! i'd love to see some Suikoden news this year D:
So much freaking hype.
But I have exams RIGHT during Nintendo's press conference.
...darnit.
Sweet.
Is the Katsuya Eguchi interview really taking place at 11:30 at night or will they just replay a pre-recorded interview at that time?
Time is suddenly slowing down....
G4TV is showing all of E3 with no commercials AT ALL. You should put that on there too.
I'll be watching EVERYTHING! Even Playstation and Microsoft's presentations. lol
9am perfect time! About to get off school in a couple of days too so I'll be able to watch it live!
This, fellow gamers, is what we live for. Will watch at 9am, then get ready for The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary concert. So much Nintendo in one day!
I will watch it! School is bin over 2 weeks ago! The only problem is that...... I don't know what time does it start at the Mountain Time Region, USA.
#42 that'll be 10:00 AM
Time to Showcase.
@ James, what time is Konami showing the confrence, and will it be streamed anywhere?
Suikoden, Metal Gear Solid, ect. There's so much that could be announced for 3DS (oh, and Wii U too, of course)!
Hmmmm I will have to set the DVR to record the ones on Spike and MTV2.
@RR529 Updated with that info now
@SC100 I imagine it's a pre-recorded interview, or might even be streamed from Japan given the time?
I'm looking forward to Nintendo's unveiling of Mole Mania 3D: Jinbe's Revengenation!
The only one I might miss the start of is the last one, I work Wednesday nights in a bar and I'm not usually home until after 2am (UK time). Hopefully I can get the landlord to finish my shift from 1am so I can go home early.
Updated with a link to Nintendo's conference LIVE here at Nintendo Life.
I'm hoping for a new Prince of persia from Ubisoft & a sequel to Mirror's Edge from EA
Awesome that you post in multiple time-zones, but we in central Europe don't use the outdated twelve-hour clock; we have a 24-hour clock. No am/pm. After 12:00 comes 13:00.
Anyone know what time these are happening in Irish time?
@PikminMonster Just scroll up, it's up there.
@LonelyGreyWolf It just makes it clearer if we use the same notation for all time zones
@James Not really. When I saw "12 am Tuesday" I thought it was midnight on Tuesday at first, then I realized it's midnight on Monday.
Less than one hour remains!
