Nintendo's E3 2017 Main News Briefing Is 30 Minutes Long

With E3 right around the corner, we've now learned how long Nintendo's main news event at the show will be. In a press release today, the company said its main event, Nintendo Spotlight: E3 2017, will start at 9:00 AM PT on June 13 and wrap up around 9:30 AM PT. We have since confirmed this timing with a Nintendo spokesperson.

As NintendoLife reminds us, 30 minutes is shorter than Nintendo's E3 briefing in recent years. A relatively short briefing is not necessarily a bad thing, and it's still enough time to reveal games and show new footage, if that is what Nintendo is planning.

By comparison, Microsoft recently confirmed that its own E3 2017 briefing will be longer than the usual 90 minutes to accomodate more games. Nintendo used to hold live briefings that were more akin to those held by Microsoft and Sony, but the company changed to a different format in recent years.

Nintendo's Treehouse: Live at E3 event starts at 10 AM PT on June 13. This show, which returns from previous years, will bring new details on Nintendo Switch and 3DS games. Some of the titles confirmed for the show include Super Mario Odyssey and Pokken Tournament DX.
