At E3 last year, Nintendo made the decision to forgo a traditional press conference, and instead opt for a Nintendo Direct stream. For this year's E3, the company is looking to build on that approach. Today, Nintendo said that it will broadcast the "Nintendo Digital Event" on June 10, which it describes as "a new kind of video program" that will aim to show off the games on the way to Nintendo platforms in the near future.
