Dan's Reports from E3 is a segment of the official Nintendo website. It was created for the 1998 Electronic Entertainment Expo. While the segment primarily relates to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Banjo-Kazooie, the segment briefly mentions the Super Mario franchise in certain entries.

Portions of entries relating to the Super Mario franchise[edit]

Day One: Nintendo Booth Tour[edit]

Princess Zelda takes center stage, literally, in the Zelda theatre. An almost life-sized puppet of Princess Zelda will actually interact with the audience (like Mario and Wario have at previous shows.) The Princess is continually menaced by a gigantic Ganondorf, enticing visitors to check out The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time.

Q & A Session with Howard Lincoln and Peter Main[edit]

Q: Will 64DD polarize developers?
Howard: We're not planning to launch in 1998. Plans for 1999 are indefinite. It won't be difficult to bring out games for the 64DD. But, we don't have a Super Mario 64 or Tetris, so we're not bringing it out. We will push developers to high memory cartridges, with cartridge costs going down as they are.

Notes from Nintendo's Huge Show Briefing[edit]

Ken Lobb then narrated a video tape of some of the top games that are coming up. He discussed his pride in the camera work in Major League Baseball Featuring Ken Griffey Jr., demonstrating how it really shows the dimensions of the stadiums. He noted his belief that Banjo-Kazooie will surpass Super Mario 64 as the king of adventure games, with well over 20 moves and 5 character transformations. Next, Ken demonstrated F-Zero X's multiplayer mode, spectacular highlighting effects and ability to have 30 cars on-screen at 60 frames per second.
Last, but certainly not least, Ken demonstrated Twelve Tales: Conker 64. It may look like a kid's game, but it's actually quite revolutionary. If you play as Conker, it's an adventure game like Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie. If you play as Berri, you have a pet that follows you around and does your fighting for you. The characters are aware of their environment and can see things that you can't, so you have to watch what they do. One scene, in which 23 little dinosaurs are indepently[sic] moved, well demonstrates the capabilities of the N64. Conker 64 also features 20 sound channels in Dolby Surround, which show attendees will be able to check out at special stations.
Peter Main next returned to talk about the Super NES's new MSRP of $49.95. (If you don't already own one, this will be the year to get one. Super NES titles such as The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and the Donkey Kong Country series shouldn't be missed.) A whole new wave of Player's Choice games are being rereleased for the Super NES throughout the year.

Q & A Session with Mr. Miyamoto[edit]

Q: What do you think about Rare's progress and development?
A: I think Rare is terrific and wonderful. Banjo-Kazooie is outstanding. We hope the sequel to Super Mario 64 can approach it. I hope I can make a game together with Rare someday.
