Epic Games looks set to support Nintendo's next-generation console, if a Tweet from VP Mark Rein is anything to go by.

Rein Tweeted: "We have another pretty cool announcement coming today at around 10AM PST" - just as Nintendo's E3 press conference starts heading towards a conclusion.

Epic of course has a long running history with Nintendo platforms, as in it's never really supported them.

Speaking at GDC this year, Rein famously said, "the second Nintendo releases a piece of hardware that can run our engine well, we'll be on it like water on fish."

It wouldn't be a surprise to see them up on stage this afternoon then. Hit the link for our Nintendo E3 press conference live stream.

    it would be funny if the video that they released of their new engine a while ago was actually running on nintendo's new console. That and the fact that gtaV hasnt been at anyone else's conference. One can hope :)
