Nintendo announces its E3 plans, including a 40-minute Direct

Nintendo has finally revealed its E3 2021 plans. This year the company’s strategy is the same as in previous years, with a keynote live presentation and treehouse stream followed by demos.

Although this year’s E3 is different from previous installments, thanks to the all-digital move, it is not going to be a big change for Nintendo. The company has long abandoned physical displays in favor of digital showcases, so it stays at home with a format change.

Nintendo will unveil its E3 on Tuesday, June 15: The Last Day of the Show. It airs Nintendo Direct at 9 a.m. that day, lasting 40 minutes. The company says the video will be largely software-based, with most of it set to launch in 2021. Rumor has it that Switch Pro will be on display this year.

Following the Direct, Nintendo will air a live Treehouse presentation featuring demos and deep dives into specific games. The presentation will run for roughly three hours following the Direct.

It’s a somewhat sparse showing for Nintendo. The company usually has a full presence at E3 with Treehouse streams throughout the expo. This is a much shorter content plan by comparison.

Details on E3 2021 are still shockingly sparse considering the digital expo is just over one week away. While Microsoft has confirmed its conference timing, we still don’t have an idea of the full schedule, which is unusual for the event.

E3 2021 begins on Saturday, June 12, and will run until Tuesday, June 15. Fans can register for the event, which will take place through a digital app.
