Sorry, but you were never going to get any Nintendo Switch 2 news at Tuesday’s 40-minute
This post was updated on 6/18/24 at 9:52 a.m. to include new information from the latest Nintendo Direct. It was updated 5/8/24 at 11:55 a.m. ET to include comments from Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa.
The coroner’s report has officially come in, and just as we all expected, E3 is dead as a doornail. What was once the world’s biggest gaming event was taken off life support years ago, but on Tuesday the Entertainment Software Association declared it was calling it quits supporting the Electronic Entertainment Expo.
Nintendo quashed its first live event of the new year and similarly postponed the tournament finals for two of its mainstay franchises due to a wave of “threats” targeting employees, spectators, and venue staff centered around an upcoming Splatoon 3 tournament.
