Nintendo E3 Direct Start Time
The Nintendo Direct for E3 2021 will be live on June 15 at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET. Similar to previous Nintendo Direct events, the show will most likely move from announcement to announcement quickly, offering a mix of indie, third-party, and Nintendo first-party titles. While Nintendo said that the show will focus mostly on games releasing this year, however, Nintendo said the same thing about its direct in February and announced Splatoon 3 for 2022, so expect a few surprises.

The video will be embedded above when it’s available and will be live on GameSpot on June 15. Nintendo has not officially said where to watch the stream, however, Nintendo Direct events are typically streamed on Nintendo’s YouTube channel.
What To Expect
Nintendo is a notorious wild card when it comes to E3 announcements and this year is no exception. There are numerous rumors floating around about an upgraded Nintendo Switch, however, the announcement specifically states that the direct will focus only on software, so if the new Switch is real, it probably won’t be announced here.
Upcoming Nintendo Switch titles like Mario Golf: Super Rush and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD will most likely make appearances at this. Some titles that have been in development for a long time, like Metroid Prime 4 and Breath of the Wild 2, could make an appearance but with Nintendo, it’s anybody’s guess.
E3 2021 runs from June 12-15 and is one of several gaming events this summer. The schedule so far includes Geoff Keighley’s Kickoff event on June 10, followed by Ubisoft Forward on June 12. The Xbox/Bethesda briefing is slated for June 13, with Razer’s event following on June 14.
