after reports earlier this year that all of the big three console makers would be skipping e3 2023 one of them has finally made it official nintendo wont be at this years electronic entertainment expoas nintendo tells venturebeat in a statement we approach our involvement in any event on a casebycase basis and are always considering various ways to engage with our fans since this years e3 show didnt 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 e3the caveat here is of course that we dont know how nintendo is skipping e3 this statement certainly makes it easy to assume nintendo wont have any booth space at the physical e3 show but even if the companys not directly participating in the event we could still see a nintendo direct showcase during that time frameof course the rumors have it that nintendo is skipping e3 because it simply doesnt have enough games to show which could certainly hamper its ability to put on an exciting summer direct e3 officially kicks off on june 13 and by that time every announced switch title save pikmin 4 and metroid prime 4 will already have been released the publisher could have something secret up its sleeve heres where i put on my clown makeup to joke about a nintendo switch pro but its tough to imagine what that might realistically bewhat actually counts as e3 is now the real question as we try to figure out what to make of the e3 2023 schedule we know xbox has a summer showcase planned but we dont know if its connected to e3 ubisoft said that its going to e3 if the show happens well after the show had already been confirmed how many press conferences will or wont be part of the traditional e3 week hopefully well learn soonfor now these are the upcoming switch games you need to know about
