After a day where we saw a lot of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, with few complaints from this writer, today brings a different flavour as the Nintendo Treehouse team dives into a range of other games. We'll see more of games that have previously been relatively mysterious, including one that was only announced on day one of E3; there's also a 'New Role-Playing IP' for 3DS. Intriguing.
We'll be doing our usual deal of hosting the live stream with a live blog and chat, but we're sure you want to know when, where and what. Well, our coverage will start at 9am Pacific / noon Eastern / 5pm UK / 6pm CET, with Nintendo Treehouse kicking off one hour later. Below is what we know so far about the schedule and the games being shown.
- Pokémon Go Demonstration / Q & A - 10:30am Pacific / 1:30pm Eastern / 6.30pm UK / 7.30pm CET
- 'Nintendo 3DS Action/Adventure/RPG Debut Gameplay' - 10:55am Pacific / 1:55pm Eastern / 6.55pm UK / 7.55pm CET
- Monster Hunter Generations - 12:45pm Pacific / 3:45pm Eastern / 8.45pm UK / 9.45pm CET
- Rhythm Heaven Megamix - 3:50pm Pacific / 6:50pm Eastern / 11.50pm UK / 12.50am CET
Those are just the confirmed slots, the following games are also due to be shown through the day:
- Paper Mario: Color Splash
- Mario Party Star Rush
- Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE
- Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past
[Apparently Yo-kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls is also due to be shown].
That's Nintendo's line-up, but we'll also cover a SEGA Europe show that was confirmed yesterday. We'll be doing so as it'll include the Sonic Team and apparently news for Sonic fans; the exact wording from SEGA Europe is as follows.
Join Dan, Chris & Pete for a very special SEGA Central episode live streamed from E3 2016! During the stream we'll have special guests from Relic Entertainment, Sonic Team and we'll be unveiling news for EU fans of Sonic The Hedgehog! That's not all we'll also be giving you the chance to win a headset from our stream sponsors LucidSound! Ask questions using #AskSega for a chance to have your questioned answered live on the show!
As said in our original article it's not worth getting over-excited about this, but we'll be interested to see what this is, even if it's just a promotion related to the anniversary of the franchise.
So there you have it. We hope you'll join us for live coverage here on Nintendo Life as it all goes down.

It's the New IP I want.
Hope we get some Dragon Quest release dates! Cautiously intrigued by the 3DS title too. Maybe it's the long rumoured Monolith Soft handheld game.
A new role-playing IP? Maybe Nintendo won't be a complete disappointment after all..
I'll just be watching some MH Generations.
Give MK8 DLC!
I'm too lazy to follow the livestream. I'll just wait for the articles to pop up.
ah man it's for 3DS though darn
i hope we get a release date for Dragon Quest. I need to play that game as soon as possible. I'm going through major withdrawal lol
So that's it for wiiu?
Paper Mario in october and zelda next year?
Am I the only one to think about The Snack World possibility?
https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/04/the_snack_world_is_level-5s_next_cross-media_project_and_its_coming_to_nintendo_3ds
I only care about the new TLOZ,so I'll watch just the SEGA stream today.
Hopefully we see at least one game announcement for the Wii U. This Treehouse is bringing multiple games! So we could get a new Wii U game announcement. At least one.
@Desy64 That's the confusing part, surely if Nintendo wanted Color Splash to be the holiday game it would be released in mid-November rather than early October. Maybe Project Giant Robot from E3 2014 has evolved into something.
Oh so we are getting Rhythm Heaven MegaMix?
@mariovslink62 N stars I bet
I still need at least 1 proper Wii U game. So far, I only have 6 good titles in my list. Yeah, very hard to choose proper Wii U game that suitable with my taste. Even the cuteness of Yoshi Wooly World still not really capturing my heart.
@ThomasBW84 They have also confirmed that they will be showing Yo-kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits/Fleshy Souls, but Nintendo has omitted to tell so in European PR mails, because those games have not been announced for Europe yet..
SEGA, I don't believe in you anymore.
@Expa0 lol really how can they disappoint when they said later this year will be the Nintendo direct,all about Nintendo nx.and what going on at e3 they said this last month,what was going to be there.lol
Hopefully the new IP isn't something like Codename STEAM... when it was revealed I was like "WTF???!??!?!?!?! WHYYYYYYY!!!!???"
@Rei Good call! I really think that might be it.
The RPG they are referring to is Yo-Kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits/Fleshy Souls.
@gloom I've heard good things about Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. but I've never personally played it. You can get it for like $10 now at some stores.
I wonder what that new ip could be as i was hoping for a new golden sun or advance wars but this could be good as well. I just hope we get some wii u announcements as we only got two wii u games and the rest is for the 3ds.
@KJ85 Thanks
Maybe Nintendo's just messing with us, and it isn't a new IP, but it's actually Mother 3.
Yeah... I'm really desperate.
@18wonders I've always said I would give it a chance... It was just soooo weird to me that a nintendo game would feature american historical figures lol
@Grumblevolcano maybe pikmin4?
Anyway, I'm not hopeful at all
At least it seems MK8DLC might be a possibility
Yes! I'm glad DQ VII is being shown.
But what about DQ VIII??!?!
Really hope both titles make it here this year or early next year!
What if Mother 4 is the new RPG?
Can't wait for this event, especially for a look at the new Mario Party and Color [sic, should be Colour in the UK] Splash.
New IP...weird, excited and worried!
MK8 DLC will make my E3. Hopefully it's a surprise reveal.
@18wonders @nab1 Not new IPs. I'm expecting it to be Monster Hunter Stories, since I don't think it has had that big of a presence in Nintendo Directs. Goes right before the Monster Hunter Generations segment too.
Maybe a development of some rogue ideas they got while trying to come up with a way to make SMTxFE happen, but more suitable for the 3DS?
@ThomasBW84 Your welcome
It is nice to have access to both EU and US PR-material during events as these. At least that helps me a bit in the newswriting on our Danish Nintendo community..
Won't be watching live since I got nothing done yesterday but looking forward to color splash, the new ip....anything else is gravy.
@Spin It was announced on the Direct back in March, but only that it would be released sometime in 2016.
I'm so excited to see the new IP RPG! I hope it's good! Also hoping we get some DQ release dates (mainly 8 which probably won't be shown), which is very likely.
No Metroid Prime Federation Force? And that's only 3 months from release... interesting.
I guess Nintendo learned last year that E3 and probably everywhere else in the world isn't the place to showcase that game.
EU fans of Sonic the Hedgehog?
I G it's either a game that isn't already in Europe is going to be localized or something, or maybe another 25th anniversary party. It won't be a new game.
Shirtless Sonic
Aarron Webber already said that it wasn't a game announcement
pls mother 3 q_q
