New Nintendo Direct Announced for E3 2021 ✖ Nintendo has set the date for its big E3 2021 presentation with a Nintendo Direct event scheduled to take place on June 15th. The Tuesday stream will consist of around 40 minutes of info and insights into new games releasing for the Nintendo Switch with most of the games showcased releasing in 2021 which means people won’t have to wait long to play what they see. After that, Nintendo promised around three hours of gameplay from different titles, but we don’t know yet what’ll be featured during that live Nintendo Treehouse portion of the event.
