Ask a Dork – Nintendo at E3 2012

“What does Nintendo need to win E3? What do you expect?” Allow me to make an extremely partisan statement: Nintendo will garner the most attention this year at E3. We already know that Nintendo will be bringing a new Super Mario Bros. entry and Pikmin title to the Wii U and I think it’s safe …
