Geoff Keighley recently mentioned in a Q&A session about his hopes for Nintendo’s involvement in Summer Game Fest. While acknowledging the good relationships maintained with “Microsoft and PlayStation,” Keighley noted the absence of Nintendo in the event’s history. He expressed his desire for Nintendo to be a part of the fest, stating that it has not happened yet, but he remains hopeful for the future.
Keighley emphasized that each major first party operates on its own playbook and plan, especially during the busy times of the year. He accepted the reality that not all games can be covered in one event, suggesting that companies need their own platforms to showcase their content. Summer Game Fest aims to bring everyone together, providing a platform for various announcements across the gaming industry.
Nintendo has confirmed a Direct showcase in June 2024, focusing on software for the Switch and upcoming releases for the latter half of the year. Additionally, a Switch “successor” announcement is expected within the fiscal year. While fans eagerly anticipate new reveals, Keighley advised tempering expectations, hinting that Sora’s next adventure may not be part of this year’s showcase.
For those interested in hearing more about Keighley’s insights on Summer Game Fest 2024, a recording of his latest live stream is available on Twitch. Keighley’s efforts to bring the gaming community together and provide a platform for diverse announcements highlight the evolving landscape of gaming events. As the industry continues to grow, collaborations between different parties become essential for engaging audiences and sharing exciting news.
