They'll have a booth where people can play the demos of games (which will be available for the public) and they will also have a meeting with distributors/partners (not viewable for the public) about the future. But information about new games, hardware changes, software changes, etc will be given out on Nintendo Directs. |
The booth is their normal booth but they will be allowing press to come into the convention center early to try the games first. E3 isn't an event open to the public, so Joe Normal will not be able to walk up and play. My guess they will invite representives from IGN, Gametrailers, Gamespot, etc to this event. So it will be like the 3DS event they had last year.
The business meeting will take place in the same place where they usually do their press conference normally but it will be a shorter presentation on what they plan to do for the next 6 or months on the business side of thing. (Promotions, release dates, price cuts, incentive etc.) While it may not be streamed we will probally get the news from that even that is not put under NDA, like the release dates etc. I went to this type of show back in 2000 it is bland an last about 45 mintues but packed with information.
The public playing the games may just be them releasing the same demos they have on the floor into the eShops for the players to try the games. Though they may do what they did with the Wii and have a mall Wii U experience kioseks set up at select areas leading up to September. Though I'm expecting more of the former.
And between now and E3 we will be getting probally a few ND to showcase the software that will be featured on the convention floor during E3. Using last year as a guide they will probally have all the announcments we didn't know about in a Sunday ND and state that demos of select games will be avaible to play starting Tuesday (or better yet Immediatly).
