Time to get your diaries out...

The invitations have been sent out, and it has been confirmed that Nintendo will hold their E3 media briefing on Tuesday, June 7th at 9am Pacific time. That's the usual 5pm kick-off for those of us in the UK and 6pm for most of mainland Europe.

Nintendo will unusually be the last of the three console manufacturers to hold its conference. The company is expected to divulge the first details of its next-generation console, codenamed by the press as 'Project Café'. Super Mario 3DS will also spearhead the next wave of 3DS software, while many will be keeping an eye on whether western territories will receive any localisation of such titles as The Last Story and Pandora's Tower.
