After a long silence and a lot of secrecy, Nintendo has finally announced its plans for E3 2021, being just a few days away from starting, and which will bring us big reveals from various companies and developers from the video game industry, with many conferences already announced.

As this time the E3 will be focused on a digital format, their Nintendo Direct will last roughly 40 minutes, being mostly focused on Nintendo Switch software released in 2021, with some extra announcements prepared for next year and beyond.

Among what is expected to be seen in this Direct, Nintendo has already revealed some of these in recent months such as Splatoon 3, Mario Golf: Super Rush, and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, with many more games to be revealed.

However, everyone's eyes will also be on some of the titles revealed some time ago, such as Project Triangle Strategy, Metroid Prime 4, and the long-awaited sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, as well as new content for both Monster Hunter Rise and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
