"Nintendo to Skip Gamescom 2024"

Nintendo has confirmed that it will not be attending Gamescom 2024, citing careful consideration and the opportunity for players to try out Nintendo Switch games at other events throughout the year. This decision comes as the highly-anticipated Switch 2 is set to arrive in 2025, and while Nintendo has historically appeared at Gamescom, it seems unlikely that the new hardware will be formally acknowledged or unveiled at the event in August.

The End of an Era: E3 Gaming Expo Permanently Shuts Down

The E3 gaming convention, one of the largest video game conventions in the world, is permanently shutting down after struggling to remain relevant in a rapidly evolving industry. The annual event, held in Los Angeles since 1995, was once a major opportunity for video game companies to showcase their creations, but faced competition from fan-focused conventions and lost partners like Nintendo and Sony. The shift to digital distribution and the decline of physical games also impacted the convention's relevance. E3 was canceled during the pandemic and never recovered, leading to its permanent closure.

The Demise of E3: What it Means for Gamers and the Gaming Industry

The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the long-running annual gaming convention, has been officially canceled due to withdrawals from major publishing partners and increased competition from other events. The decline of E3 coincided with the rise of Summer Game Fest, hosted by Geoff Keighley. Without E3, gamers will rely more on prerecorded presentations and press releases for announcements and updates, with fewer opportunities for press interviews. The reduced transparency makes it harder for analysts to get honest answers from companies. Companies will continue to rely on online influencers, but consumers need to be vigilant about potential manipulation by marketing teams. Some analysts hope that E3 will be brought back in the future, but are not optimistic.
