The publisher's America boss Reggie Fils-Aimes has promised fans they're "gonna have a big E3 this year" when one of the world's biggest gaming convention returns to Los Angeles which takes place between June 13 and June 16.
He told Fox News: "We're going to be showcasing a variety of games. We will have experiences for ... consumers will be able to attend the show for the very first time. So I'm not gonna tell you all of the various games and all of our little secrets for E3, but I can tell you that E3 is going to be a major opportunity for us to showcase not only Nintendo Switch, but also content coming to Nintendo 3DS."
In previous years E3 could only be attended by press and retailers but this year the show floor will be opened up to members of the public - although entry will set them back a whopping $250 with queues expected to be lengthy for popular games.
It is expected that 'Super Mario Odyssey' will be featured along with other 2017 titles like 'Xenoblade Chronicles 2' and 'Fire Emblem Warriors'.
In a recent interview, Nintendo Entertainment Planning and Development General Manager Shinya Takahashi revealed that Nintendo is preparing multiple new IPs - new franchises that are not sequels to existing games, although they may include some character established previously.
This is rumoured to include a game that take unique advantage of the Switch's Joy-Cons, which has been the focus for new IPs 1-2-Switch and the forthcoming ARMS.
