Nintendo: ’several new titles for core gamers at E3′ (Wii)

Nintendo’s director of public relations Marc Franklin has said that core gamers should expect great things from the company at E3.

“We will be announcing several new titles that core gamers will be interested in around the time of E3,” he told GamePro recently.

Speculation has run rampant about Nintendo’s release schedule near the end of this year. We’re crossing our fingers for more Pilotwings, Starfox or Pikmin action.

Whilst the first half of 2008 was full of goodness in the form of Mario Kart and Smash Bros, the post-June line-up is looking a bit bare. Nintendo looks set to rectify this at E3.
