Nintendo to skip E3 2023, says show "didn't fit their plans"
A Nintendo no-show
While there were already rumblings of Nintendo not attending E3 2023 this year, it’s now official. IGN has received a statement from Nintendo confirming that they won’t be involved with this year’s show, but they continue to be a supporter of E3 in general. You can see the company’s statement below.
“We approach our involvement in any event on a case-by-case basis and are always considering various ways to engage with our fans. Since this year’s E3 show didn’t 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 E3.”
As for what Nintendo plans to do around E3 time, if anything, we have no idea as of right now. We’ll certainly let you know of Nintendo’s plans should they share details in advance.
