Every year E3, brings us the biggest gaming news of the year, as Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo drop their biggest announcements about upcoming games, release dates and new consoles. With the three day conference fast approaching, we figured it would be a good time to release my 2015 predictions. With so many recent developments happening over at Nintendo headquarters, we believe, there is reason to be optimistic about Nintendo’s presence at the event this year – even, if the new Legend of Zelda game doesn’t make an appearance. It’s always a wild guess what Nintendo will announce since the company has always been so unpredictable, but we’ve narrowed down several options of what could happen during Nintendo’s live-stream presentation. So what surprises are in store this year? Take a listen and find out.

NXpress #1: Best of Nintendo Direct, Classic Boss Battles and the Future of Nintendo

Nintendo which celebrated its 125th Anniversary last year has had an extraordinary history, originally producing handmade playing cards and several small niche businesses. But ever since 1977, Nintendo has grown into one of the world’s most prolific and beloved video game makers. Nintendo became a household name outside of Japan in 1985 with the release of the Nintendo Entertainment System. The best-selling gaming console of its time, the NES saved the US video game industry following the video game crash of 1983. Nintendo has since been the most enduring and influential company in the medium and its consoles, branding and innovative game achievements have given the company a momentous status in popular culture. And so 30 years after the NES hit North American shores, we’ve decided to start our very own Nintendo podcast. Welcome to episode 1 – What’s NX? On topic is the recent Nintendo Direct, the NX, Nintendo’s mobile plans and classic boss battles.
