What about Nintendo Direct and Sony’s State of Play?

Without E3, Nintendo doesn’t have a major event to tie a Nintendo Direct show.

In 2020 and 2022, Nintendo aired Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcases, providing a big first party reveal for later in the year.

Nintendo doesn’t have much in their publishing schedule then Pikmin 4 in July, and it’s possible the company will update Nintendo Switch owners on what to expect sometime this summer.
