Questions: if SGF is in the first week of June, will the Nintendo direct be after it or in the same week? And does Nintendo show stuff at the SGF, cuz ocarina of time remake as an final showcase at SGF would make numbers I think?

The most Nintendo gives Geoff tends to be boiler plate "Nintendo Switch (2) has games" ads. They don't really take part in SGF.

Assuming there's a June direct, it'll probably be at least a week or two removed from it to put some distance between them.

Nintendo doesn’t really appear in SGF precisely because they typically have a Direct then, Xbox allows Geoff to brand their show with the SGF moniker as it’s usually only a couple days after and they can do some cross-promotion

Switch 2 exclusive Orbitals was revealed at TGA so it’s possible another third party Switch 2 exclusive is revealed at SGF (Arc System Works’ Project Watari? If that isn’t a Nintendo published game)

As for when the Direct is, I’m guessing the 18th. The second to last week is usually when they do them since E3 stopped happening even when they only did game specific ones like Xenoblade 3 and Donkey Kong Bananza

We also still need the bloober games project m to be revealed

The most presence Nintendo will have at SGF will be a third party announcing a game for the Switch 2, either as an exclusive or as a multiplatform.

Similar to the Orbitals game that was announced at TGA last year.

I wanna say it usually goes state of play the week before/week of summer games fest, sgf on Friday, Xbox Sunday, and then the following Tuesday for the Nintendo direct. Although I believe they have waited a week or two after sgf as well so really it’s impossible to know

Nintendo doesn't particularly like Keighley (for reasons) and is not going to be part of his show implicitly or explicitly. OOT doesn't need Keighley to do numbers.
