Come see Nintendo's 3DS-centric press conference as it happens and join the staff as they discuss the announcements as they happen.
Starting at 11PM EDT tonight, Nintendo's pre-TGS, 3DS-centric press conference can be seen here streaming live! Now that Famitsu has spilled the beans on Monster Hunter 3 G and the second circle pad attachment, it's likely these items will come up during the conference.

The game will see a host of new features.
Nintendo announced during their press conference today that Mario Kart 3DS will be making its way to stores this holiday season.
