“According to the published schedule Nintendo won’t be present at the digital event this year, which is disappointing.”
Not bothered. That’s why Nintendo has their directs (Indie World, ND mini, etc.); they can come at any time when we least expect it.
At least Capcom and Square-Enix will be attending. Capcom has been too quiet. Maybe they’ll announce the Mega Man title they’ve been working on, or at least the next Monster hunter for switch.
*sees no mention of SNK
Rip the dream for KoF 15.
Does anyone know if this will be Subbed? It would be cool to watch it live!
