Everyone knows that all good E3 news is released before the show starts, and often before the keynote addresses, so March 20 is possible... Nintendo being Nintendo, though, I doubt that it'll be as widespread in the scope of the release) as you suggest.
As for IGN, yeah, other places get news first... I've found blogs often do a pretty good job. That and looking at Gamespot/IGN for when they actually do get news first... well, and several other sites too. :) GameFAQs forums as well sometimes. IGN's videogaming forums are insufferable though... but it is true that more often updated, more populated places are more likely to get news sooner... because there are more people looking at the news sites. :) (that is, it's not that GAF gets the news first... it's that they have more people on news sites all the time to post it sooner.)
