Nintendo has confirmed that it will not be attending E3 2023. According to the company, this year's event does not fit into its plans.
“We approach every event individually and always consider different ways to engage with our fans,” Nintendo said in a statement provided by VentureBeat.
“As E3 does not fit into our plans this year, we have decided not to participate. However, we have been and remain strong supporters of ESA and E3.”
Nintendo last attended E3 live in 2019 and hosted a virtual program in 2021. Just because a company won't be attending E3 2023 doesn't mean it won't host a Direct instead of a live event this summer.
E3 will return to the Los Angeles Convention Center June 13-16. The event will be curated by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), which will partner with ReedPop, the production company behind PAX, New York Comic Con, Star Wars Celebration and other high-profile events.
This will be the first full-fledged exhibition in the last four years. It was canceled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, and in 2021 it was held online only. In 2022, it was canceled completely.
Over the years, many publishers and developers have started to host shows separate from the show, instead of holding traditional press conferences like they used to.
So unfortunately Nintendo will not be participating in E3 2023.
