Nintendo announces its E3 2021 Direct date

Presentation to focus on games for the Nintendo Switch

I know what you’re all thinking, and we are too: SWITCH PRO?

Apparently, maybe? Maybe not? Who knows! Nintendo does, and they’re not talking — at least, not yet. The Big Red Company has set a date for its E3 Direct, bringing back the tradition that we’ve missed. Circle June 15th on your calendars at 9AM PT/12PM ET. The Direct will run for 40 minutes, “exclusively” focusing on software coming to Nintendo Switch.

🗓 Nintendo at #E32021: 6/15, 9am PT!

Tune in for a #NintendoDirect with roughly 40 minutes of info focused exclusively on #NintendoSwitch software, mostly releasing in 2021, followed by around 3 hours of gameplay in #NintendoTreehouseLive | E3 2021.

What does that mean? Does it mean that it will ONLY focus on software, and not hardware? That seems to be likely so. It may be dashing our hopes a bit — or it may reveal the Switch Pro ahead of time and just focus on the games coming in 2021 for it at the Direct.

The Direct will be followed by a 3 hour Treehouse Live with live play sessions, so expect Skyward Sword, Pokemon Diamond & Pearl, No More Heroes III, and probably more than a few surprises.
