Nintendo will host a Nintendo Direct presentation on the last day of E3 2021. On June 15 at 9 AM PST (12 PM EST), Nintendo will air a 40-minute Direct that will be “focused exclusively on software,” and “mostly releasing in 2021.”
The interesting thing here is that Nintendo’s announcement specifically excludes any discussion on the Switch Pro, which has been the subject of numerous leaks for the past week. A Switch Pro listing in Mexico seems to be the biggest sign of an impending announcement yet, although numerous other rumors reveal the Switch Pro’s enhanced hardware features.
We might not receive any Switch Pro news at E3 simply because Nintendo plans to make an announcement before the digital festivities begin on June 12. The latest rumor points to a solo presentation this Friday that will be both a surprise reveal and a surprise release date, with a price tag of $399.
So what could Nintendo discuss at E3 if the Switch Pro dominates the news a week prior? Well, there’s also rumors of a possible Nier Replicant Switch port, and of course, there’s the upcoming Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remakes which just went on sale.
We’ll have to wait until June 15 to find out what else Nintendo has in store for us.
