Though it’s abandoned the traditional stage show in favor of a pre-recorded Direct, Nintendo remains one of E3’s most anticipated presenters. And this year, with Sony’s absence from the show, there may be more eyes on the beloved publisher than ever before.
Nintendo is coming off a divisive E3 2018, during which it spent well over half its 45-minute presentation on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Super Mario Party were also announced for Switch, but the company’s heavy lean into Smash Bros. left little else for fans of its other franchises.
Nintendo E3 Schedule
Nintendo’s E3 2019 festivities kick off on Saturday, June 8, with Super Mario Maker 2, Splatoon 2, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournaments. The Nintendo E3 Direct will air a few days later, on June 11, and provide new looks at upcoming Switch games. Nintendo Treehouse will then air each day from June 11-13, providing closer looks at some of its E3 games.
