Miyamoto’s Approach to E3 July 18, 2008
Here’s part of what the man himself told NBC:
I think that there’s probably one other element to it, and that’s that our view of how we use E3 has changed. For a very long time, E3 was an event where — and certainly Nintendo included — catered specifically to the core gamer. Now we look at more … an opportunity for us to introduce new concepts and new types of play that we intend to bring to the broader audience, particularly because of the media that gathers at E3 now.
So while attending an E3 event like this, they might be given the impression that Nintendo is no longer focusing on the games that appeal to the core gamer, in fact we’re still working on many of those titles, but it’s just not the type of event where we’ll be showcasing that anymore.

That answers some questions.
so when will they show ACTUAL games?
Spaceworld 2008….?
It’s a little late, but hey, it could happen…
TGS in October I would say. Nintendo isn’t on European GC, so they stick to the Japanese core gamers
Leipzig and E For All.
I doubt 85% of casual gamers actually know where to find the broadcast for E3.
