Already expecting 20,000 to 50,000 gamers to roll up to the Entertainment for All Expo in LA this October, now that Nintendo is on side, expect things to go Nuts with a big ‘N’.

Now that E3 is no more, many conventions have scrambled to fill the void.  E for All, unlike the late E3 is hoping to more than a trade show, being open to the public.

October 18th to 21st will see the Los Angeles Convention Centre host the expo expecting to see around 50,000 gamers and hanger-oners take in the atmosphere of a large electronic entertainment extravaganza.

With Nintendo now confirming themselves as an exhibitor, the expo is starting to take shape – There is a little more info here at Gamepro.com, an interview with IDG World Expo’s Mary Dolaher.

Dolaher is not committal on any many details other than Nintendo’s involvement and mention of some scheduled night time events such as the “Video Games Live concert”.

Ticket prices from US$50 for a day pass, up to US$110 for the full four day pass

Meanwhile Nintendo are up beat about the idea; "The E for All Expo supports Nintendo's mission to reach as many types of consumers as possible to expand the world of video games to new audiences," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Our Wii and Nintendo DS systems are all about gaming for the masses, and the E for All Expo will give consumers a chance to try out the hottest new Nintendo video games.”
