E3 is Cancelled

More announced since my last post GameSpot doing something and Geoff Keighley who pulled out of E3 before all of this is doing a 4 month event thing starting this month.

Also Xbox are doing a Inside Xbox focusing on 3rd party games for Series X next Thursday then one looking at first party during the summer.

Yep.

That's another fairly uncertain looking release schedule pending then for Nintendo - understandably so, I suppose, considering the current situation.

Could they now be part of Keighley's thing? Which now seems to be lots under one banner as the Inside Xbox coming this week if the first thing under the banner and Gamescom Live will be the last thing.

A schedule will go up on Tuesday for phase 1 which I guess means May as it's four months long.

Funny that you say that as I just seen a screen grab which was apparently taken from a Keighley AMA and someone asked if Nintendo will be there & he replied with "Nintendo is always welcome" so to me that doesn't sound like they are.

I did see they didn't have a logo on the Phase 1 list and maybe they're aren't doing anything with him in any of the phases but would you confirm them already if not to Phase 3?

Just seemed like something they could do at some point as they go to his Game Awards for instance, also seen say this could replace E3 especially how E3 seemed to be going.

Edit

EA are still doing EA Play and in E3 week on June 11th

Can't wait to see some more games for Switch! And by 'more games for Switch' I mean 'more five-plus-year-old games ported to Switch as inferior versions for a £10+ hike'.

Well, that's bound to happen when all you see is folk clamouring for all sorts of ports rather than new games.

Is that the reason behind EA rehashing Burnout Paradise at £45 two years late though?  Or is it them doing the bare minimum?

Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely well past the 'port X old game to Switch!' stage (now that we have A Hat in Time and Okami anyway ) and maybe we could all do with less of that; but I don't feel like companies really think Switch owners would prefer ports of multi-year-old games at price hikes to new(er) titles, no matter what some people on social media might say.

It's just certain studios which I guess see it as maybe a high cost to profit ratio to either make a new game just for Switch or pay someone to figure out how to port something that's new'ish.

Also doesn't help that going by rumours even Nintendo's big games are various degrees of older games.

Nintendo could do with not setting that example, true.
