Nintendo biggies set for E3
Core games to be revealed
Nintendo are planning to unveil major new Wii games that will cater to "core gamers" at E3 next month, we're told this morning.
Marc Franklin of Nintendo North America assured us that hardcore Ninty fans had not been forgotten despite the mainstream nature of the console.
The clear majority of people waiting in line outside retailers on Sunday mornings to buy their Wii consoles are core gamers," Franklin revealed to US site GamePro.
"We will be announcing several new titles that core gamers will be interested in around the time of E3."
The exec also sees third-party support on the rise, stating: "Look at the plans being made by third-party publishers.
"They realise that Wii is the current platform of choice in this generation, and their bottom lines depend on appealing to the largest base."
More soon.
