In the days of yore, console makers would hold giant press conferences in the run-up to E3. They eventually stopped doing that and E3 has since died, but its residual spirit feels stronger than usual this year, especially if rumors of a Nintendo Direct coming later in June are accurate. A Switch 2 anniversary showcase to bookend Summer Game Fest would be an unexpected treat, especially for fans hoping to see what the Mario maker has planned for the second half of 2026.
