Tuesday, June 12th, 2018: (E3 2018’S 3 DAYS)

• E3 2018 Nintendo Press Conference (on Twitch & Youtube; 30 Minutes Short Again?) — Starts at 9:00AM PDT (Pacific USA) / 12:00PM EDT (Eastern USA) / 5:00PM BST (London) / 2:00AM AEST (Sydney, Australia)

Nintendo will not be doing a live/in-person press conference, instead they will be streaming their “Nintendo Digital Event”, as they have done for the last several years. However that 30-to-45-minutes-short conference gets followed by 3 hours of live footage from the E3 Show Floor by the Nintendo Treehouse anchors just like last year!

What does IGN think Nintendo has in the cards for E3 2018? Find out in this video!

Tip: Since the early 2000’s I’ve always preferred GameSpot’s E3 2018 website for the 3 main days of E3, because it shows a big countdown timer to all event livestreams.

That way you don’t need to know timezones and can just see how many hours or minutes are left until each event starts! SUPER HANDY! 🙂
