Nintendo at E3 2018 – All the Australian times and links you need
With under a week to go until Nintendo unleashes their E3 lineup, including a Direct – it’s time to schedule it all in.
We’ve tried to compile everything Nintendo, all their events and shows and of course third parties which may have Nintendo related things. Typically though if something big is going to be shown, it’ll be in Nintendo’s coverage.
Nintendo also has a handy calendar function on their site, so you can have the dates updated automatically on your computer or devices. Check their main E3 site out to add to your calendar.

The Invitational starts directly after the Splatoon 2 World Championship finals, which would be in the morning on Wednesday the 13th of June AEST. See the times above. Basically book the whole day off.
Every year the Treehouse provides hours of deep dives into games announced at the show. We get interviews with developers and more than just a trailer. There’s also the possibility of new game announcements during the treehouse segments, which may seem odd but it happened last year – it could happen again.
Super Smash Bros. will be the first game on the Treehouse right after the Nintendo Direct. As we don’t know how long that will be yet, we don’t have a time.
And what about everyone else?

As square is producing project octopath I would think it would be medium chance that they will discuss it.
The game will be out the day after their conference so it’s pretty likely. As an exclusive, it might be mainly talked about by Nintendo?
I just realised the game comes out a month later. I still think it’ll be shown mainly at Nintendo’s treehouse or something though.
Microsoft has a minuscule chance, they might talk about Minecraft on Switch again.
And I’m hoping for FASA stuff.
