The Electronic Entertainment Expo 2013 (commonly known as E3 2013) was the 19th annual E3 video game trade show and convention in Los Angeles. It was held between June 11th and 13th. Microsoft , EA, Ubisoft, and Sony held their major press conferences one day prior to the opening of the E3 convention.
Nintendo did not hold a major press conference at E3, opting for a live Nintendo Direct presentation streaming on the first day of the convention. While there was no press conference, Nintendo still had a presence on the E3 show floor with a small press gathering and playable demos throughout the week.
