Perhaps Nintendo is still taking their time developing the Breath of the Wild sequel. Nintendo may have shown gameplay footage, but that doesn't mean the game is ready to ship yet. The first and the more likely reason is that Breath of the Wild 2 is still in deep development. Hence, the release window 2022 was shown at the end of the trailer, and it doesn't tell us exactly when it's coming out. However, just like what we saw during E3 2021, Breath of the Wild 2 is far from being ready yet. It seems fitting – after all, the original Breath of the Wild launched with the Nintendo Switch console, all the way back to March 2017. Reason #2: Switch Pro is not yet ready, won't be coming out until next yearĪnother persistent rumor about the Super Switch Pro is that it will launch with Breath of the Wild 2. Still, this reason alone might not be enough for fans to accept why the Switch Pro didn't show up at E3 2021. Therefore, an immediate tryout on the convention floor isn't necessary for the Game & Watch. Number two, we already know roughly what to expect from a Game & Watch. But being online-only, this is virtually impossible – save for sending media partners with their own Switch Pro units at home.īut then, this didn't stop Nintendo from revealing the Legend of Zelda 35th anniversary Game & Watch, right? Well, two things: the Nintendo Switch successor is a much bigger deal than a Game & Watch. This helps put the word out and give your new product good press. In past E3 conferences, you can have video game journalists try out your new hardware on the convention floor right after the announcement. That may be why Nintendo decided to go software-only on their Nintendo Direct.
Going online-only has its pros and cons, and hardware reveals being ineffective online is one of the biggest cons. Reason #1: The Nintendo Direct E3 2021 Online-Only Format isn't fit for Hardware RevealsĮ3 is a magical place, but even the biggest gaming convention in the world feels the effects of the global pandemic. So, why didn't we get to see the Switch Pro during Nintendo Direct at E3 2021? We look at three possible reasons as to why. After all, some of the leaks turned out to be true, just like the one about a new 2D Metroid game: Metroid Dread. With all the rumors and leaks about the Switch successor, we also expected the Super Switch Pro to show up. We're almost a week displaced from E3 2021, and yet one of gaming industry pundits' predictions for Nintendo's Direct didn't materialize.
