The team at E3 pulls up to talk E3 the night before Nintendo's Digital Event.

James, J.P. Corbran, and Donald Theriault break down all the Nintendo news from before the Digital Event. We cover leaked 3DS ports, new Smash content, the Nintendo World Champonship, and more. We break down some non-Nintendo news from Monday's announcements that may be important for Nintendo fans.

As usual, we start with New Business: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, Adventure of Pip, and Splatoon. Site director Neal Ronaghan joins us after the break for E3 hype, to tell us what to expect from your favorite Nintendo news website this week, and to answer a few Listener Mail questions!

Guillaume is absent for this episode, but Jonny, Jon and James still find the time to discuss the latest Nintendo Direct Mini. But first, New Business features impressions of Splatoon's Dojo mode, Skyrim musings, and thoughts on Code Name STEAM! After the break, the unflappable trio regales us with their E3 2015 predictions!
