It was a rumor. It’s now official: Nintendo will be absent from theE3 2023the “great” video game trade fair in The Angels scheduled from June 13, 2023. In a press release (particularly relayed by VentureBeat) Nintendo explained that he would not participate This year at the show quite simply because it did not coincide with the company’s plans. We know that in May, the Nintendo Switch will host one of its biggest games: The Legend of Zelda : Tears of The Kingdom and that therefore, it will already be out when the show begins. Subsequently, we know that Pikmin 4 will be released in July on the console… After that, on the other hand, for the moment, the catalog of the Nintendo Switch remains unclear. A presence at E3 in the middle of the year would, a priori, have been a good opportunity to present the games of the end of the year. And if, regardless of theE3 2023and Nintendo Direct is always possible, we can also think that Nintendo may prefer to pass its turn and prepare its own event(s), following its own calendar.
Find below the translation of the declaration of Nintendo published by VentureBeat :
We approach our participation in any event on a case-by-case basis and are always considering different ways to engage with our fans. As this year’s E3 show was not in our plans, we took the decision not to participate. However, we have been and remain a strong supporter of ESA and E3
