That's less than a week before E3's Direct!
I guess there will be more time for other games to show on June 11?
If they talk a lot about Mario Maker 2 and Pokemon on June 11 I just don't get Nintendo's communication strategy.
I'm already having a hard time understading it right now.

This isn't down to Nintendo's strategy though, this is down to the Pokémon Company's strategy, it's their decision to showcase their game a week before E3 and it's a decision they've been taking time and time again in recent years. That's not to say I understand it, because it is nonsense, but I'm used to it at this point. I'm sure Nintendo would rather have that info at E3 as well.

Even if it is nonsense, it’s been working out pretty well for Pokemon. :P
