Mega Guide: Dates and times for everything Nintendo at E3 2015

by Daniel VuckovicJune 12, 2015

Blink and it’ll be here, E3 2015 is set to kick off and Nintendo are going in huge this year. They’re hosting multiple events over multiple days and doing all sorts of cool things.

Like last year the main event is the Nintendo Digital Event, this is no mere Nintendo Direct – we’ll get glimpses of games that we might not even play for years. If it’s anything like last year’s presentation it’ll be one to remember.

However before we even get there, Nintendo is hosting the Nintendo World Championships for the first time in 25 years and while the whole world might not actually be able to be involved – we can at least watch it.

We’ll update the dates below if anything changes and if anything new is added – but for now let’s all just get through this E3 together!
