Nintendo confirms it won't be at this year's E3 following reports of a no-show
Following a report in January that Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony would all be skipping this year’s efforts to revitalise a flagging E3, Nintendo has confirmed it won’t be attending the show.
In a statement provided to VentureBeat, Nintendo explained, “We approach our involvement in any event on a case-by-case basis and are always considering various ways to engage with our fans. Since this year’s E3 show didn’t fit into our plans, we have made the decision to not participate. However, we have been and continue to be a strong supporter of the ESA and E3.”
It’s perhaps not entirely surprising news, of course, given Nintendo hasn’t held a major E3 conference for over a decade now, instead favouring its own Nintendo Direct broadcasts to convey its big news, and that the company last had a showfloor presence at E3 back in 2019.
