Why Nintendo Will be Absent at E3 2023?

IGN said that Nintendo told them the reason behind its absence from the upcoming gaming event.

"Since this year's E3 show didn't fit into our plans, we have made the decision to not participate," confirmed Nintendo.

Although it will miss the upcoming E3 2023, the video game maker will continue supporting the ESA (European Speedrunner Assembly) and E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo).

Gaming companies pulling out of E3 events is no longer new. Most of the time, video game makers prefer prioritizing their own events.

This was seen in recent E3 event before the global COVID-19 began; EA (Electronic Arts) and Activision also didn't attend the conference.

Despite their absences, previous E3s still provided enjoyable games and other game-related technologies.
