E3 was meant to be going ahead earlier this year but was naturally canceled when the major video game publishers, and console manufacturers, decided they would rather do their own thing. Fans were still hoping that Nintendo were planning a Nintendo Direct presentation for June 2023 to show what is on the horizon after The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom launches on Friday. Now Andy Robinson from VGC and journalist Jeff Grubb have stated that they haven’t heard anything regarding a Nintendo Direct in June. As we all know, Nintendo always does the unexpected, so they can hold a Direct whenever they feel fit.
Rumours suggest Nintendo won’t be holding a Nintendo Direct in June
I mean yeah they didn’t drop anything last year fr but the difference between last year and this year is that they already had a good lineup so there wasn’t a huge need for a direct Ubisoft did there own thing for m+r cause it was consider third party, xeno and 3 hopes also came out around the same time and the shadow drops were literally just dlc for mk8 and etc, the only thing Nintendo has left is tears of kingdom and Pikmin 4, so I’m pretty sure we’re gonna here something, they did give us a partner showcase direct last summer focusing on 3rd party so who knows.
It feels like things are lining things up for the next console what with the Switch being 6 years old now and Nintendo being hush hush with future projects now. I wouldn’t be surprised if Metroid Prime 4 ends up being a cross release like BoTW was at this point.
I’m not gonna say this year is going to be huge for Nintendo, I believe this year is going to be quite different since E-3 is cancelled entirely. I’m hoping for the best for other consoles manufacturers.
Well this was always expected, onwards to September 😁
The speculation has been Nintendo do not have a lot lined up for the second half of the year beyond Pikmin 4. I hope that’s not true, but obviously the vibes aren’t feeling great. Still, Zelda and Pikmin to come, we can worry about the rest after that!
Seems obvious. We have TOTK in a few days and then Pikmin 4 soon after. No need to hype your audience up on future games when they are enjoying a few long-awaited titles. Perhaps the only logical thing Ninty can do is to give an update on previously announced titles… which really just means an update on Prime 4. If they drop that Prime 4 is releasing at the end of the year… oh lawd. Banger year for Switch releases.
On to September…. yeeehaw.
Jeff Grubb may need to stop these crazy rumors before he continues to get bashed by viewers, because that rumor is a cold lie. Nintendo has already confirmed a Nintendo Direct for June.
in case i missed something nintendo has not congormed a direct for june? do you have a source for that statement?
I do have a source, but I’m not allowed to give that information out.
So your source is literally “just trust me bro”?
It can be whatever you believe, at least my info is legit and not a ramble for clicks and views like Jeff Grubb.
Always hungry force some nintendo news so i hope this source of yours rings true then.
Well I received information on yesterday that a Nintendo direct will be on the 20th or 21st of June.
No they haven’t. The closest thing is Nintendo live, it’s not a direct as it’s an in person event usually with music. It’s also not in June, it’s at the start of September.
Ok, that’s your choice not to believe me, I’m not debating on my actual source. But they will be holding a Nintendo direct in June.
As disappointing as it would be, I could easily see Nintendo skipping Summer in favor of showing off/out in tandem with the live show in August; of course I could be wrong about that as well.
I just hop Nintendo announces SOMETHING because after Tears of the Kingdom and Pikmen 4, it’s looking quite slim for the rest of the year 1st party releases
Live show is Sept 1st-4th
The Super Mario Bros. Movie has made over $1.1 billion, Zelda Tears of the kingdom is the best game for years to come. Pikmin 4 is on the horizon; we have Metroid prime remaster. We gamers know Nintendo is going to deliver this year and beyond ☕️.
F=ma.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re not gonna have a Direct next month.The rest of this year after Tears of The Kingdom and Pikmin 4 could be a more quiet one.
Japan is close to all out war so it wouldn’t surprise me if Nintendo has nothing to show. Sony is a huge mess and I think they are Japan too even if they aren’t the entire showcase is in shaky grounds due to tensions across the globe. The US may declare default by June for starters.
if you pay attention to foreign news you wouldn’t be surprised as here in the US all we get is Trump vs Biden (and one sided news at that) trying to make the economy better then it actually is.
