I'd be pretty shocked if BotW2 doesn't show up at E3. Even if it's 2022, they've put off talking about it long enough, imo.
"other new stuff"
skyward sword is the most dusty ass thing nintendo has put out in a while
He's heard that there won't be any Xenoblade and is accordingly super-excited.
Its a bit less than 2 weeks, but yes this wait is going to be hard, but well worth it
They just want to reassure people they aren't taking a lot of time to talk Switch Pro. It'll probably get a mention. Remember it's third party devs who want Nintendo to announce it before E3, not Nintendo.
Nintendo has data that a celebration event can boost sales for other games in the series. It's just that BOTW being so entirely different from SS might actually hurt it in the long run. It is a weird situation that the Zelda franchise is right now.
I think there's no other game in development right now that I've got higher expectations for at this point than BotW2.
I'll worship Aonuma and team if they actually manage to blow me away again.
Imagine: Switch Pro this week, Pokémon Presents on the next and E3 after that. Nintendo's money machine go brrrrrrr
Ayup. I wouldn't be surprised if the next big BotW2 marketing beat (new trailer, title reveal, etc.) is at the Game Awards.
Remember — per some pretty reliable sources, WW HD and TP HD are also coming this year, too. So there's a lot of Zelda to talk about that isn't BotW 2.
When they say in February "we hope to be able to show you more later this year," I don't really sit there and go "that means June for sure!" when there's a big trailer reveal event in December.
I just really hope to see Metroid, but if the Switch Pro thing wasn't true, which is possible, then the Metroid rumor might not be true either. Either way, it should be a fun morning! I'll enjoy seeing what Nintendo has to offer!
Note: this is the wording they used to reveal E3 2019's Nintendo Direct
So this isn't new. And of course 2019 was also when other rumours about new hardware ("Switch Pro" which turned out to be the less battery-hungry Switch and Switch Lite) were spreading.

"An Earth day is divided into 1000 parts, known as "beats". Swatch is zero based, has no time zones and doesn't observe the bullshit that is daylights saving."
Divided in 1000 parts, that's why americans didn't adopt it.
It's a joke! Jason hated Xenoblade 2 and I don't think he was very hot on the first game, either. See:
The Switch Pro was never, ever going to be announced at E3. Nintendo doesn't really do that. It's before or after for sure.
I mean, it sounds like they won't be talking about it at all. Look, I still think it's possible, and I'd love to see it. I just think it's odd that they wouldn't even mention it at E3 if they had already announced it by then
Pokemon Legends would make for a great March, 2022 release to cap off the fiscal year. Or it would if BotW2 weren't launching at that time. Just sayin'
Yeah and we got hardware that year...and they're using the same language again because we're getting hardware announced this year too just not in their presentation
Really? I would assume it's a lock! It's a big franchise now and I'm sure people will be dying to see more of it
There's no way they don't show something new from BOTW2 at the E3 showing.
If they don't, the entire thing will be ruined in the public eye by people disappointed that it wasn't there.

Very torn on if BOTW2 is going to be there or not. Why wouldn't they mention that in the announcement?
I'm aware that's what everyone thinks, and I hope it's true. I'm just not confident in it
If it wasn't going to be there, they'd mention it before the showing. There's no way they don't understand they would be best served by setting expectations accordingly.
I think a tease for Breath of the Wild 2 is inevitable regardless of Skyward Sword HD (in fact they might want to advertise the Zelda & Loftwing amiibo being compatible with both games, a la Wolf Link). We'll get the name at least, I'm sure.
But I don't think we'll get anything comparable to E3 2016, where the first game dominated the show. Maybe something more akin to the Breath of the Wild story trailer at the Nintendo Switch Showcase.

I like it when it does mean that it is more compact or scripted.
Why would they? I don't think they ever announced what games are featured in E3 directs?
Because I doubt it has a hugeeee emphasis on BOTW 2 unlike previous examples such as Smash - especially if it's a 2022 release. We know it exists, we know news is coming, there's little reason for Nintendo to have explicitly mentioned that game out of all the others at E3 when it's a safe assumption it'll be there already. Zelda fans will be tuning into the Direct regardless.
BotW2 will almost certainly be in the Direct in some capacity, but I don't expect it to be a major focus or be presented at Treehouse.
I think they mentioned Smash in 2018, but yeah, it's not a normal thing.
IDK. I kind of think it is far enough away where they will have enough else to focus on. This is me assuming it is a may 2022 game at the earliest.
You don't apologetically tell your fans that you'll have something to share this year if you only intend to be technically correct with a showing in December. That just poisons the reception to everything in between and makes no one happy.
Did they announce ahead of time last year that they weren't going to be showing anything about BotW2? I don't remember.
