Announcements
SPECULATION
Nintendo has confirmed that its Wii successor, currently dubbed the Wii U, will appear in "final form" at E3 2012. [1] There's been much speculation about a possible change in name [2], after many show-goers at last year's E3 were unclear that the Wii U is an entirely new console and not simply a tablet accessory for the existing console.
Earlier this year, rumors hinted that both Microsoft and Sony would show off new consoles during E3 [3]. However, since then Microsoft has stated that "there will be no talk of new Xbox hardware at E3 or anytime soon" [4] and Sony has confirmed that "we are not making any announcements at E3" regarding the PlayStation 4. [5]
CONFIRMED GAMES
Nintendo has confirmed that a Mario game and a Pikmin game will be shown during E3. Both games will be for Wii U. [6]
Namco Bandai has confirmed that more information on the console release of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will be revealed at E3. [7]
