Find out what to expect from us from Santa Monica over the course of the next three days.

It's time for something new. The E3 Media and Business Summit in Santa Monica officially starts tonight with the Microsoft press conference, but the real show doesn't get underway for us until tomorrow morning's Nintendo press event. A multitude of hotel appointments and hangar showings is set to follow.

Unlike in previous years, when NWR was able to bring you wall-to-wall coverage of the Los Angeles Convention Center's exhibit halls, because of the strict attendance policies the ESA has imposed for the new E3 format, we were granted only one invitation for the entire show. Although this means we won't be posting impressions out the wazoo like in previous years, by the time everything is said and done we'll have brought you the same quality of coverage that you've come to expect from Nintendo World Report over the years.
