[Wii U, 3DS] Nintendo E3 website goes live

Just because Nintendo won't have the spectacle of a large-scale press conference at E3 this year, that doesn't mean there isn't reason to get excited for the company's presence at this year's show. The Big N has pumped up the hype train a little bit more today by launching its own E3 2013 site. The site admittedly doesn't reveal a whole lot yet, save for a series of silhouettes which quite obviously confirm the presence of a new Mario, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, and New Super Luigi U at the show.

Nintendo has also previously confirmed that a new Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U will make an appearance, and we're hopeful that recently announced titles like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 2, Bayonetta 2, Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, Sonic Lost World, Monolith Soft's X, Yarn Yoshi, and maybe a few other surprises will show up as well. The teaser site reminds fans that the E3 2013 Nintendo Direct will begin at 7am PT on June 11th (10 days!) with coverage and updates continuing throughout E3, and that you will be able to play the E3 demos of four unreleased Wii U games at select Best Buy stores across North America.

Of course you can keep it locked in here for all the E3 news throughout the show as well!

[PC] Rumour: Could Half-Life 3's website be currently getting assembled?

[PC] Rumour: Could Half-Life 3's website be currently getting assembled?

It assumed that whenever one reads the Half-Life 3 in the headline of any news story that rumour must additionally be attached, this story is no different.

Okay, so with that out of the way we can get into the meat of this story. Inside Gaming Daily has been doing some snooping and came across two tweets that could be related, one is a quote from Half-Life 2 by IGN's Twitter feed and another is from Valve informing fans to be sure to check all of their feeds. Those could be related, they could not be.

Things are about to get somewhat more interesting though. Observe one web domain: http://orange.half-life3.com/apache2-default/ which links to a blank page except for the text "It works!"

Now, this could mean anything really, I mean the url contains the infamous Half-Life 3 tag but that's far from any sort of confirmation. However, when you check the WhoIs on the domain you'll discover that it is in fact owned by the guys at Valve. Those who know a thing or two about domains will also know that '/apache2-default/' is a typical sight for when people have just installed apache, a website engine.

Not to mention this is just a little over a week after we learned about Gabe's cute little trick, using Ricochet 2 as a code word instead of saying Half-Life 3. Here's the story on that in case you missed it.

Obviously, this is not confirmation. It could just be nothing. But Half-Life 2 came with the Orange Box, maybe Valve is planning another Orange Box with a new Half-Life? Weigh in on this topic in the discussion, E3 is just around the corner after all!
