Nintendo signs on as "flagship" for E for All Expo

Looks like E for All, IDG's open-to-the-public E3-wannabe, has signed up Nintendo to be an "anchor" exhibitor when the expo hits LA this October. The four-day event touts the presence of Nintendo, their "flagship" exhibitor, as a demonstration of the "importance of a broad consumer-focused event for this industry." Though that's where they ran out of nautically-themed adjectives, it's not where the announcements stop: Don James, Nintendo of America Executive Vice President of Operations, will be on E for All's Exhibitor Advisory Board where he'll undoubtedly advise them on all matters exhibitor. With the Big N ready to "power up & play" in LA this October, E for All just took a rather large step from the doldrums of exhibition also-rans to the "hmmm, maybe we'll go to that after all"s.
