This year E3 has been cancelled, but Geoff Keighley has his Summer Game Fest again which we now know about three events with two at the same time as they would be if E3 was happening.
I think we still get E3 just not in name and for us be it in the UK, Japan or Aus nothing changes, be watching them online still regardless who's banner a show comes under.
Current Events and times in the UK
May 17th Tuesday 2pm 505 Games
June 9th Thursday 7pm Summer Game Fest Showcase 10th Friday 8pm Tribeca Games Spotlight 11th Saturday 8pm Future Games Show 12th Sunday 6pm Bethesda and Xbox Showcase 12th Sunday 8.30pm PC Gaming Show
August 12th Friday 8pm THQ Nordic Showcase
I will update when we get more announcements, which Nintendo will be the main one for most of us.

Nintendo will literally be the only one I care about, so many companies just don't get it when it comes to these directs and Geoff's Big Summer Games Jamboree doesn't fill me with confidence as that usually bores the socks off me.

Totally off topic but I've just been reminded of the time I hesitated answering the phone to someone I didn't wanna talk to only to see that they were in a car right next to me and could probably see my obvious "can I be bothered talking to them?" moment.

I think I've got greedy. It was only the other day that I was bemoaning the quiet release schedule on Switch, and thinking that it was about time we had another Direct. I think we've just had one? And summer's coming up. Blimey. Maybe it's the eShop having a quiet time I'm really noticing. Maybe a Nindie Showcase in may to whet our whistles for the main event? Pleeeeeeeease?
Of course I don't care about anything else.

I watched 505, who have published likes of Control and Death Stranding (PC) that them having a showcase for the first time must have something.
Well they had four games, and how they were shown was awful as well. It was certainly up there with Koch Media last year as one of the worst, it can only get better from here.

Now you know how Cappa feels when we have a month like July which has two RPGs as the Nintendo games.
True, but I got the impression that a lot of people were underwhelmed by Switch Sports, not just me! The 6/10 from Nintendo Life may as well be them mailing human excrement to Nintendo directly.

July is all about the Klonoa collection and the Jaleco Arcade Evercade cartridge, I feel good about July!
