Every year come E3, Nintendo provides an online press site with artwork, screenshots, logos and fact sheets of games via Nintendo of America's Media Site. In the past, it has been password protected but last year you could access it without a password, and it seems they are continuing so this year (as long as it isn't changed).

http://media.nintendo.com/pressroom/E32014/

Currently, the links don't work and point to GDC stuff (which appears to have been removed). The page is essentialy (more exactly) a copy of http://media.nintendo.com/pressroom/gdc2014/. The only thing that doesn't currently point to GDC is the following line, which seems to be just a placeholder:

<!--<b>PRESS RELEASE:</b> <a href="/E32014/docs/061014_e3_release.pdf" target="_blank">Press Release Title</a> (6/10/14)<br>
<br>-->
http://media.nintendo.com/pressroom/E32014/docs/061014_e3_release.pdf currently returns this:

The requested URL /pressroom/E32014/WiiU/FACT_WiiU_HW_E314.pdf was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

The source, which as mentioned is just a copy of the GDC page, could tell us though something about the layout (the page also shares the same CSS as the GDC page):

view-source:http://media.nintendo.com/pressroom/E32014/ (copy paste)
http://media.nintendo.com/pressroom/E32014/style.css

Just a list of the indie titles for Wii U and 3DS that were featured at GDC. One could assume that the press site will feature those gray frames for "Game Assets" and "YouTube Video", potentially more.

Last year, their press site looked rather nice with some color and a good layout. It'd be rather lazy of them to just copy the layout of the GDC page (if they don't intend to use that as standard for all press sites) and be done, not showing much effort really. But we'll see how this develops over the weekend. Any web developer/administrator can certainly find something juicy. If not, it's at least another E3 page to bookmark.

HNNNGHH. It begins...


Why only Iwata and Miyamoto are referred to as misters? This is a serious question by the way.

Yeah I honestly would like to know this as well. Maybe it's a professional status or just personal preference for them to be called like that?
