Seems like a weird move to do... Why not have it all in one show instead rather than dividing it like that. Seems a bit concerning for the digi event... |
This happens every year, and not just for Nintendo. This is where the retailers, distributors, etc. go to learn about upcoming products, so they can order appropriately. Don't forget that E3 was originally just a trade show: these presentations, not the public conferences, were literally what the event was originally created for.

I believe that was the developer roundtable, which is a different event.

This kind of presentation is usual business, and it's something that all the big three and some publishers do every E3. This kind of presentation is not aimed at gamers but business, stores. This is where Nintendo will tell Gamestop and others when their games will launch and how much will they cost so they manage their inventories and store adds, what new console bundles will launch, which and how many new amiibos will launch, etc. Don't expect any news from this presentation, it will all be under NDA. |
Yes, exactly. Quoting for emphasis.
