I genuinely confused myself trying to remember when Nintendo's usual timeslot was at E3 because last year's cancellation totally threw me off. For some reason I thought they were on Mondays!
"Exclusively on software" gives significantly more credence to the idea of a Switch Pro getting revealed before E3.
If Nintendo wasn't going to reveal any new hardware before E3, thus giving no-one any legitimate (i.e. 'not based in rumours/leaks') reason to believe it might be shown, they would have no reason to specify that E3 is only showing software.
They're also very rarely this adamant that a Direct is 'exclusively' showing something; usually using the word 'focus' to leave more room open for surprises outside of said focus.
So, yeah. It's happening, folks!

At first i was like, that's no likely since it's only 40 minutes but then i realized that E3 had two Smash reveals and it was around 40 Minutes
Ah, sucks that I'll be finishing up work and won't be able to enjoy the live reacts etc. STILL, happy we have a date now at least.
The wait for switch pro continues.

My thoughts exactly, lol. Too many Switch threads getting polluted with Pro talk/drive-bys when the topic itself isn't even about the Pro (like when Monster Hunter Rise's first trailer had people thinking it was Pro footage). And it feels like I've heard of Pro for the past two years.
Well then I guess it already technically worked since we got Nocturne HD, and the Nocturne disc was at the center of that circle.
We're in the endgame now, based on the fact it's been mentioned in the past two big directs I have to believe botw's sequel will be shown here, if not then I can't imagine when we'll see it, they wouldn't of acknowledged it like they have unless they'd planed to do a big reveal again.

There have been no leaks about the last two Smash characters, so we're completely in the dark. If I had a bet, I think the next character will be one last big franchise character, with the final one being more niche (Ex: Sol Badguy).
They also seem to have changed their terminology from "games" to "software" deliberately for the NoA tweet, compared to other regions and the official news post.
I mean, they mean the same thing, but yeah. It's either happening earlier or waaaay later, but all signs point to the former from insiders etc.
An epic Toxtricity or Rillaboom reveal. Everyone will be happy.

The tweet specifically says software only, so any hardware reveals will be separate. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we got an announcement for the Super Switch tomorrow. But that's just me guessing.
Tbh, I'm more remembering the dark days of 2018. 25/42 minutes were just Smash...
My only pause on 2 dlc fighters being revealed at E3 is that the second fighter is the final one, and I think Sakurai would rather show that one off in a special "final smash direct" thing separate from E3. My guess is something like E3 starts fight fighter 10 revealed and a "final smash direct in 2 weeks" or something. Then at that final smash direct we start with an overview of the e3 revealed character, have our final character reveal, an overview of them, and then some kind of "thank you for everything" farewell speech/montage from Sakurai.
Oh I know, I wasn't expecting it there, but it's funny they kind of acknowledge the rumor.
All I would like to see from the Nintendo E3 Direct is more of this…
I'm beyond ready <3
Give me a giant Fire Emblem Three Houses DLC pack that makes people upset it's not a remake of FE4.
