How to watch Nintendo Direct at E3 2021 online today - start time and predictions
Expect Zelda, Mario and maybe some virtual golf to appear.
The E3 2021 schedule is nearing its end, but there's still one more major showcase to enjoy today, with a 40-minute Nintendo Direct presentation due to begin pretty soon.
There has already been heaps of E3 2021 news, but fans will be hoping that Nintendo comes fully equipped with updates on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, Metroid Prime 4 and the future of the Pokemon franchise. Perhaps we'll even get our first look at the sequel to Mario Odyssey.
Speaking of that eternally popular plumber, you should also expect Mario Golf: Super Rush to appear, considering that its release date is just around the corner.
A lot of fans are hoping to hear about the Nintendo Switch Pro, but Nintendo has already stated that this presentation will be all about software rather than hardware.
But still, even if we don't see a new console, you'll still want to tune in and see what Nintendo has in store on the games side. Keep on reading to find out how to watch, then.
