Nintendo says the presentation will focus exclusively on software, meaning that any rumors of a Switch Pro unveiling at this event have been made null and void.
�� Nintendo at #E32021: 6/15, 9am PT! Tune in for a #NintendoDirect with roughly 40 minutes of info focused exclusively on #NintendoSwitch software, mostly releasing in 2021, followed by around 3 hours of gameplay in #NintendoTreehouseLive | E3 2021. https://t.co/TMjlZ5G37G pic.twitter.com/Hh1l6y0WVhJune 2, 2021

Granted, Nick Baker, co-founder of XboxEra.com, claimed that the Switch Pro announcement would be set for this week. If that's the case, then conceivably Nintendo could announce the Switch Pro before E3, which runs from June 12 to June 15, and instead talk about software during its E3 event. Still, announcing a new piece of hardware and not mentioning it at a 40-minute press conference would be odd. So we feel it's safe to suspect that a Switch Pro announcement will not be happening anytime soon.
