I am extremely excited for this year's Nintendo Partner Direct Mini in June!
The World Health Organization is the last group i'd want to hear an announcement from.Were they able to find out WHO will be a part of E3? If the hardware makers are absent, publishers will be as well.
Technically, there is stability with Nintendo (I.e. you can generally expect a show from them in Q1, Q2, and Q3, usually falling into Jan-Feb, June, and September).This unpredictable Nintendo actually deflates any kind of hype I would get from
Their events.
I really don’t like this out of nowhere shows and I don’t find it a good idea. There’s a reason why E3, Oscar, Tokyo Game Show, GDC and Apple September event are always stable….
It used to be the greatest week every summer.Several high-profile 3rd party companies are attending E3; but the show is no longer the spectacle it once was.
This would be the first E3 Nintendo actually skipped. They've actively maintained their presence up to this point.I always figured Sony and Nintendo would be a no go. They bounced years ago. Also Phil was cagey about Microsoft attending in last week's podcast he was in so I figured Microsoft was out. I don't even see the point of E3 without these companies to be honest. Just move on.
That... huh, yeah, I hope this isn't what that whole rumour is based on because holy shit would that be dumbThis sure pairs interestingly with that rumor that supposedly Nintendo doesn't have anything after Zelda due to some sort of lack of "event booking". If this is what that rumor was based on, that makes it look like an even dumber take than it already did.

I know, but some people were quoting those two guys who used to work at Nintendo (Crysta and someone else) and are now on YouTube. They supposedly were saying Nintendo won’t make shows under expected conditions.Technically, there is stability with Nintendo (I.e. you can generally expect a show from them in Q1, Q2, and Q3, usually falling into Jan-Feb, June, and September).

Canceling the June direct, like last year, an in 2023 points that this rumor is actually true.
I know, let’s wait and see before over reaction, but if this is the new Nintendo marketing tactics, they can count me out.
Yeah, no, this is just not true. They maintained their booth for as long as that was a thing they could do and were, in all meaningful respects, in full attendance. They replaced their pre-show press conference with a Direct, but that's not, nor has it ever been, even technically part of the show.Nintendo has not been at E3 in many years. They have had June Directs but no actual event at E3 in a long ass time. No attendance at all.

And how exactly were they supposed to have a booth in the cancelled E3 2020 and E3 2022 or the online-only E3 2021? No one has had an E3 booth since 2019.From what I can see on Google, Nintendo's last E3 booth was in 2019.
I must have missed when they talked about this. Does anyone have a link?I know, but some people were quoting those two guys who used to work at Nintendo (Crysta and someone else) and are now on YouTube. They supposedly were saying Nintendo won’t make shows under expected conditions.

I disagree with this assertion, until 2019, Nintendo had the biggest booth and the largest show floor space of anyone in the industry at E3. They've gone out of their way to be a proponent batting for E3 for years, moving to the digital format for their shows didn't change that.Eh idk but Nintendo hasn't done a presser at E3 in so long that for the most part they had already moved on.
