Nintendo's E3 Direct discussion

[alsemanche 91,770]

Nintendo announced that its E3 Direct will take place on June 15 @ 9am PST (4pm GMT / 12pm EST ). It will last for ~40 minutes and will exclusively focus on software (so basically no Switch Pro announcement ). It will also be followed by 3 hours of gameplay in the Nintendo Treehouse. I thought I'd make a thread to discuss what we might expect beforehand, as well as discuss the presentation live in 9 days. 

You can watch the live stream here when it starts: https://www.nintendo.com/e3/

I don't know what to expect now that the Pro is out of the frame. I was hoping they'd announce it and announce a couple of big games with it (including BotW 2) but I guess that's not happening anymore. I don't see them announcing Metroid Prime 4 either. I did hear some rumors about a new WarioWare and honestly I would LIVE for that. The Wii one remains one of my favorite Wii games. I also expect a new Smash fighter, and probably some updates on already announced games.

Can someone explain me why everyone is saying the Pro is cancelled? Just because it hasn't been announced yet?

I think it’s because they stated the event would be focused on software only but they can announce it at a later time

But there are a lot of sources saying they'll announce it before E3

It's not cancelled, they just won't be announcing it at E3 like some rumors said they might. The E3 will only be about games/software. I feel like the Pro could be announced closer to the holidays tbh

Would they do such a big announcement before something as important as E3 though? It would be weird idk

Isn't rumor for pro release is in September? What other event Njntendo will have to announce it on??

[Red 94,416]

Anyways, I hope they at least say a new Metroid is in development or something

The logic is that the thrid party games for the Pro would be announced at the E3

There have been so many rumors that it's starting to sound like chromatica

I don’t mind as long as the games announced/updated  at E3 are good

Gamer tears, for sure. Of joy or rage.

Probably rage if it goes anything like their latest direct

If they ignore Breath of the Wild 2 we'll see a meltdown worse than the day the Sour Candy music video wasn't announced
