Well, that's the end of stupid stage shows, like when they moved everyone to a barn and had a guy play a banjo for way too long before the start of a Last of Us 2 trailer.

I wouldn't be surprised that would be why Sony started Digital presentations.

People have been saying that E3 has lost its importance and appeal for years. So them going to all digital is less "Oh no!" and more "It's about frickin' time."

Rumor: Jeff Grubb is claiming E3 is canceled.

After the 2019 accidental Doxxing debacle and the piss poor quality overall of last years E3, I'm not surprised at this point.

Agreed. I still like the E3 vibe of every company coming together to just dump a bunch of news on us. This was my Christmas in June.

"They can just announce the news whenever." It's not THE SAME DAMMIT.

You can pretend it's the same if a Direct and a State of Play happen within the same week

Even as someone who tends to only watch the Nintendo Directs (though I might now also start watching the State of Plays since I have a PS 5), all I can say is that E3 is honestly not needed when publishers can just release news when they want. Plus also a lot of E3 presentations tend to be an embarrassment for the publishers.

E3 has been in its death throes for like 8 years. Its like Sears or K-Mart.

Apparently, the ESRB is sending out letters to developers saying E3 is still happening and will be digital only.

I mean, I usually just care about Nintendo's announcement when it comes E3 but I can still recall people being pretty disappointed when it comes to how Nintendo handles E3. I just don't recall what years were.

Nintendo has had plenty of E3 fumbles. The vitality sensor, Wii Music, Star Fox Zero/Guard, that year all they seemed to have was Splatoon…

And this time, no Smash news, which was mostly an easy win for Nintendo

But on the other hand, Breath of the Wild 2 is an easy win too, and who knows what else they have cooking in the oven?

[up]True. And odds are it will be a huge trailer if the game is still planned to come out later this year. No Zelda news at E3 would be the actual shocking part.

Would it be too soon to actually show actual new for Prime 4 even when Dread was released a few months ago?

It should be noted that Nintendo has a lot of known quantities for the latter half of the year, but no dates. Bot W 2 and Bayonetta 3 have launch years, Splatoon 3 has a launch window, and Xenoblade 3 has a launch month, but all of them don't have solid dates.

As for Prime 4, I'm unsure of if it would be there considering there's a bunch of known quantities. I'm personally of the mind that it could be saved for a late 2022 or early 2023 Direct, depending on when it's launching.

Out of the 2010s E3s, Nintendo's 2015 one is definitely the weakest.

I'd be shocked if Nintendo lets Splatoon 3 go without a release date until E3

I fully expect Splatoon 3 is going to get a release date at Nintendo's E3 Direct mainly because I'm expecting it to release in August, which is the only summer month that's open for a first-party release, and is two months out from E3.

People suspect that a Metroid Prime 1 remaster will be showing up if we don't get Prime 4. Though I think it wouldn't be unreasonable to see Prime 4.
