Fudzilla tells you the places to be next week


So, you don’t know when to expect all of the big E3 announcements next week? We can let you in on what to expect and how to see it live.

Monday will be a big day, as Microsoft has its press conference where, according to our sources, you can expect more than a few big surprises as the company outlines the upcoming future of the Xbox 360. You will be able to watch the Live Video Stream of the press conference on Microsoft’s site when it kicks off at 10 A.M. local time. Microsoft also has deals to broadcast the Natal launch and press conference in the U.S. on a Spike, MTV, NICK, and Logo. Check your local listings for details.

Also, on Monday Electronic Arts will hold its traditional E3 press conference, which will feature product announcements as well as demos of their upcoming products. EA will be streaming the press conference live starting at 2 P.M. local time on their Web site. Rumors are suggesting that the expected Respawn announcement could come during this event; however, we don’t expect to hear anything from Bungie during this event.

Ubisoft will be holding its press conference on Monday at 5 P.M. local time. A live stream of the conference will be available on Ubisoft’s Web site. Expect to hear more about the Shaun White Skateboarding game as one of the big things that the company talks about during this press conference, in addition to the new Assassin’s Creed title which will arrive this holiday season.

Tuesday, both Sony and Nintendo will have their press conferences. The Nintendo press conference will start at 9 A.M. local time and will be streamed live. Look for Nintendo to make its biggest announcement, which is likely to be the new 3DS handheld.

Sony will take the stage for its press conference at Noon on Tuesday. They, too, will be streaming it live. Look for Sony to spend a lot of time focusing on their 3D strategy during the press conference. Don’t expect the company to announce a release date for Gran Turismo 5, but you never know, as stranger things have happened.

The Konami press conference at E3 is also expected to be a hot place to be this year at E3. Konami is expected to deliver a big announcement at their press conference on Wednesday at 1 P.M. local time. We hear that Konami has elected not to stream their press conference live, so only live blogging coverage will be as close as you can get to being there. Expect some announcements about the release date for the new Castlevania title, as well as some news about the Metal Gear franchise.
