The View From The Street On The Days Before E3

The pre-E3 walk of the LA Convention Center and its surrounding area is a tradition here at Kotaku. Take a look at the stuff our folks on the ground will be tired of looking at by the time the show ends. Except Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé. Who could ever tire of that cheerful mug?

E3 2016 doesn’t officially open until the 14th, but the press conferences begin tomorrow afternoon, so that’s when the show starts for us. Enjoy the calm before the storm.

Something Witcher this way comes? Painted over an Apple Watch ad in LA in advance of E3

Probably for Titanfall 2, right? Near the LA Convention Center in advance of E3

Wonder what’s going to go up there? It’s usually a PlayStation as or something else major for E3.

In recent years, Ubisoft put an Assassin’s Creed banner here. Not this time.

Lots of dark ads, even for the Lego stuff.
