Letter from the Editor…
We’d be kidding ourselves if we thought we could have fit– and finished– all our E3 coverage in last week’s issue. That’s why we already planned to use another week to get you even more previews, videos, specials and analysis. We’ll cover stories both personal and behind the scenes, as well as give you many more sets of impressions. We hope you like the extended look at one of Nintendo’s– and the industry’s– best-ever E3s. Be sure to let us know your reactions in the comments area of each of our stories.
Enjoy,
Noah
P.S. What E3-announced game are you looking forward to getting most? Tell us in the comments!
