Once a week [for three weeks now] we’ve given you the weekly segment:  Stuff You Didn’t Know You Needed (or SYDKYN!)  This week is no exception and we’ve dig dug deep.  We know it’s June and thought you might want to get a head start on All Hallows Eve this year.  You’re thinking to yourself right now, “Boy, I wish I had a cool retro-arcade costume with a carefully placed joystick so I could attract the ladies toward my netherregions …”  Oh no…

Sources all over the internet [Gamasutra, Hexus, VideoGamer.com] are reporting that Nintendo has announced the date for its annual E3 press conference. There are rumors of a big reveal from Nintendo announcing new “Gamer titles” for the core gaming community. What this means is yet to be determined. The conference itself runs from July 15-17. On the 15th, Nintendo will make its announcement(s) from the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, CA at 8:00 a.m. Last year games like Mario Kart and Wii Fit were announced–both very big sellers in the U.S. Any speculation as to what’s next?

Also expect big announcements from Microsoft and Sony. Sony is expected to announce more “A-list” titles to be added to it’s catalog and rumor has it Microsoft will lower the price point yet again on its Xbox 360.
