It's time for something new. The E3 Media and Business Summit in Santa Monica officially starts tonight with the Microsoft press conference, but the real show doesn't get underway for us until tomorrow morning's Nintendo press event. A multitude of hotel appointments and hangar showings is set to follow.

Unlike in previous years, when NWR was able to bring you wall-to-wall coverage of the Los Angeles Convention Center's exhibit halls, because of the strict attendance policies the ESA has imposed for the new E3 format, we were granted only one invitation for the entire show. Although this means we won't be posting impressions out the wazoo like in previous years, by the time everything is said and done we'll have brought you the same quality of coverage that you've come to expect from Nintendo World Report over the years.

For instance, you can expect to to see us liveblog the Nintendo press conference tomorrow morning starting at 9:00 am Pacific Time (pending a wireless Internet connection in the Santa Monica Civic Center). We'll also try to have live updates from the major third-party press conferences taking place in Santa Monica's Fairmont Hotel. At the end of each day, Radio Free Nintendo will be airing special E3 episodes to fill you in on what happened, what we played and what we think of things so far.

And of course, you can expect us to have all the details and gameplay impressions of Nintendo's E3 lineup, as well as from the big third party publishers showing off Wii and DS games at the show. Check out our E3 2007 Nintendo Games List to keep track of the titles we'll be bringing you coverage of during the show, and in the days beyond.

It's going to be a wild week, and we hope you'll join us for the ride. Prepare for E3 madness once again!
