Normally, the Japanese company closed E3 with its Nintendo Direct, where it brought together the most veteran developers and directors of the classic games. At the same time, it was used to take a leap from Japan to the United States to learn more about the work of its offices in the West.

The middle IGN recently reported that he contacted a Nintendo representative, who confessed that they will not participate in E3 2023 because the event “does not fit” with their plans.

However, we have been and continue to be a strong supporter of ESA and E3.″, ended.

Xbox still hasn’t RSVP’d

With PlayStation and Nintendo gone, the eyes of the video game industry are on Xbox. This last company was always characterized by organizing a whole show for the presentation of its games. However, Phil Spencer is not yet ready to say that they will be present.

“Phil Spencer said the platform’s owner is scheduling its display with E3 at a “press-friendly and even consumer-friendly” time at the event, meaning it’s likely to align with the event itself. Spencer also emphasized Xbox’s public support for E3 and the Entertainment Software Association (ESA).“, Explain IGN.
