So E3 is still going on at the moment but now there's nobody actually in charge of putting things together for the show.

E3 is both alive and dead at the same time.

I feel like after this, the next big inevitable announcement everyone is waiting for is that either one or both of the next-gen systems are delayed into next year, or the launch supply is super small and also the systems won't be as cheap as everyone was dropping hints about them being last year if they make it to launch this fall.

Nintendo employee tests positive for COVID-19

An employee at Nintendo of America in Redmond has tested positive for COVID-19 and had contact with other Nintendo workers, the video game company confirmed Thursday evening.

All Nintendo employees who were in contact with the person who tested positive are in self-quarantine, whether they have symptoms or not, Nintendo of America wrote in a statement.

“Nintendo of America is supporting this individual as they recover and will continue to take precautions to safeguard the health and well-being of all our employees and the broader community,” the statement said.

Nintendo is allowing all employees in Washington state and California to work from home.

Also does Nintendo really not do crunch? Cool if true

The hours they work now are repeatedly stated to be a lot less than what they were in the late 90's and throughout most of the aughts. But the overwork they do still most likely put in could very well be what we'd consider crunch to be anyways. Just that they don't see it as crunch because "It's a lot better now than it used to be".

Like people will usually point to this interview as a gotcha whenever someone asks Nintendo about crunch and they're like, "Oh we're not doing so bad over here" and the like:

https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/294923/Qamp_A_Design_lessons_learned_from_a_decade_at_Nintendos_EAD.php

quote:

In those days, Miyamoto would come to us at 11 PM, after he finished all of his board-member work, and say, "It's Mario time." At that point, we'd start a planning meeting that would run until 2 AM. At that point, Miyamoto would go home, leaving us with the words, "You should return home soon, for your health." Over the next two or three hours, we'd write the game design documents and summarize the instructions for our artists and programmers.

It was the craziest crunch time that I've ever experienced in my development career. But if the God of Games was working so much, could we give up? Miyamoto had incredible stamina.

But again that was the DS and Wii days he's recalling from, which has already been stated to be less intense for some compared to the Gamecube/N64 and further back days.

Unfortunately that means Snake and the Belmont boys will be removed from Smash Bros. Ultimate in a future patch.

Not solely because Sony would own them, but because in addition to that they're going to help headline Playstation All Stars Battle Royale 2 and having them stay in Smash would be a conflict of interest there for Sony.

I liked how even among all the good things this rumor mentions not only does it have no news about some sort of new 2D Castlevania, but instead the dream would seemingly be trying for the fourth time to make 3D-movement Castlevania work well enough that it could finally satisfy the majority of the people who play it.

An effort that would span four decades
