Nintendo to defend crown at E3

BLOCKBUSTER sequels, slick technology and duels between the big three console makers are expected in Los Angeles this week as the videogame industry reveals its newest creations.

The annual Electronic Entertainment Expo, referred to as E3, allows makers of videogame hardware and software to mingle, make deals and vie to trump each other’s innovations.

Nintendo will be defending the Wii’s crown as the world’s most popular videogame console and has remained secretive about what it will unveil when E3 officially gets under way today.
