A Look at Nintendo's E3 2013 Games Lineup: What to Expect from the Big N this Year

Though Nintendo will not be having a press conference at E3 like Sony and Nintendo, it still will have many new games to show off during the event, and more games to announce during their Nintendo Direct that coincides with the E3's final day, June 11. So what should gamers expect from Nintendo during E3?

Mario will be making several appearances during E3 in a variety of games. One example is Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, the newest entry into the RPG series set to appear on the 3DS. Also appearing on the 3DS will be a new Mario Party game, as well as a new Mario Golf game for the system. However, none of those games have been confirmed as playable at E3. What has been confirmed is Mario Kart Wii U, which should liven up the stale Wii U lineup. Also expected is an official announcement concerning the new 3D Mario game that Nintendo has kept under wraps. In addition, Mario's Rival Wario could also make an appearance at E3 with the newest Wario Ware title, Game & Wario.

Another game seeking to make a splash at E3 before being released in August is Pikmin 3. Nintendo has been pointing to Pikmin 3 as the start of their attempts to bring more first-party games to the stagnant Wii U, and a strong showing at E3 could boost the hype around the game.

Of course, the main attraction for many gamers at E3 will be the chance to check out the new Wii U Super Smash Bros. game. The immensely popular series should have fans cheering at E3 and drive interest in the Wii U up considerably. Another legendary series that could make it to E3 is a new Legend of Zelda title for the Wii U, which gamers have been waiting for new information on for quite some time.

With no press conference, it will be interesting to see how impactful any of Nintendo's big announcements are compared to Microsoft and Sony. Stay tuned to Latinos Post for the latest E3 coverage.
