A redditer posted this picture

https://www.reddit.com/r/Nintendo_NX/comments/4ijhra/asked_nintendo_about_an_nx_related_july_event/

He asked Nintendo about a July event and they actually replied to him asking where he got that information.

Now it being the internet he was aked to show proof that he's in contact with Nintendo so he did.

Now this can be taken with a grain of salt but it makes sense to skip E3 if they are planning on having an event in July.

Wouldn't that be like WTF Nintendo. Like they literally skip an event and was like here you go a month later.

If they mention the event at E3, that is actually a pretty good plan. Focus E3 on their biggest upcoming IP and NX launch title, then hold a dedicated event for the NX reveal with a proper launch line up right after. If this is the case I can def say that there seems to be method to this madness after all.

Still, I will reserve my hype till the big N makes it official, which would probably be dropped at E3 at some point.

There are advantages to showing your new product at your own event.  Nintendo controls who gets press passes, so they can have a smaller audience, and ensure that the outlets have more time play the games.  They get to play through the demos several times till they get good at them and enjoy them more, and they are generally more cheerful after not having waited 3-4 hours in line  

I was actually able to go to a Wii U event when it was getting ready to launch.  Got to try out everything multiple times, and it was a very laid back and chill environment.  I came out really high on the Wii U.  I've never been to E3, but I'm not sure I would have been as enthusiastic with lots of other stuff to divide my attention and limited opportunity for hands on.  

Of course, there are also disadventages as well.



BTW, with some very basic HTML I can make an email say whatever I want.  Not necessarily saying it's fake, but it's not impossible.

If this somehow ends ups true, then I will be fully convinced that Nintendo is drunk.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

If it's true I'll laugh so hard.

I didn't think my prediction about a July NX reveal would be so quickly hinted in a leak!

Not that I believe the leak just yet, obviously
