November 16th? This proves that Nintendo was indeed holding back release information during E3. There is no way this game's development did not extend to before E3. I keep telling people that Nintendo does not take E3 as seriously as the public and media would like. They have their own form of media and they are going to drop bombs on us at their discretion alone. Great pickup for Nintendo as well. I think this is the first mainline Civilization title to reach a console since the PS1 era (I could be wrong but I think I am right about that).

Well yeah, that was from start of Switch is obvious especially when we talk about 3rd party games, for instance last year Doom and Wolfenstein 2 we're in September Direct and not at E3 and Doom was out only 1.5-2 months after Direct, Bayonetta 1-2 were annouced in December and they ere out also 1-2 months later..

My stance actually predates last year's September Direct. I started saying this when Nintendo announced the SNES Mini just a few days after last year's E3. We all knew that was a huge announcement and I thought it was common sense that an announcement that big could have been in Nintendo's E3 presentation yet it was absent. That was the biggest hardware seller of last year and it is, obviously, first party. However, even through this year (including reasons why Nintendo's stock dropped), people have said Nintendo has nothing more to announce. I have been very aware that Nintendo has their own plans for announcing games but there are still many stubborn people out there that refuse to accept this. E3 was once the biggest place in gaming for new stories and developments. There are many traditionalists that have yet to let that rhetoric go.
