Nintendo has divulged its plans for this year's E3 show, and for the second year running, the main event will be streamed exclusively to fans across the world via a special Direct video.

The Nintendo Digital Event, which will see all the biggest game announcements, will go out Tuesday June 10th at the traditional time of 5pm BST / 6pm CEST.

There will be a further three features to mark Nintendo at E3 this year. For the first time ever, Nintendo will be hosting its own Super Smash Bros. competitive tournament, which fans can watch via webcast. Also, gamers in the US will also be able to go hands on with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS in participating Best Buy stores during the week. Finally, Nintendo of America's Treehouse team will be on the show floor livestreaming all the best demos "and much more" throughout the show.

The news was announced during a, erm, novel co-production between Nintendo of America and Mega 64, which sees a mechanical Reggie Fils-Aime literally kill an innocent employee.
