Pokemon Sword And Shield Nintendo Direct Announced For Next Week
Nintendo has already announced the date and time of its E3 2019 Direct, but that isn’t the only presentation fans have to look forward to next month. Ahead of the expo, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company are also holding a special Pokemon-focused Direct presentation, which will showcase some new details about Pokemon Sword and Shield.
The Pokemon Direct is set for Wednesday, June 5, at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM BST. According to The Pokemon Company, the presentation will run for approximately 15 minutes and will reveal “new information” about the upcoming Nintendo Switch games. You’ll be able to livestream it on Nintendo’s website, YouTube, and Twitch channels. GameSpot will also have a stream up so you can tune in right here.

This marks the first new information Nintendo and The Pokemon Company will discuss about Pokemon Sword and Shield since the games were officially unveiled this past February, during a special Pokemon Direct that took place on Pokemon Day. While that stream was fairly brief, it did give us our first look at the highly anticipated Pokemon games and revealed some important details, including the games’ setting–the Galar region–and three new starter Pokemon. It also raised some questions.
Pokemon Sword and Shield are slated to launch exclusively for Switch in “late” 2019. Given their impending release, it was presumed Nintendo and The Pokemon Company would share more details about the games around E3 2019, which officially kicks off on June 11, after Nintendo’s other Direct presentation concludes. Be sure to check out our roundup of what we know about Pokemon Sword and Shield, as well as what we want and expect from Pokemon Sword and Shield at E3.
Ahead of the Pokemon Direct, The Pokemon Company has also announced it is airing a Pokemon press conference tomorrow, May 28. That presentation is scheduled to begin at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET (2 AM BST on May 29) and will “cover a number of topics of interest to Pokemon fans.”

HyperX Cloud Stinger Wireless Gaming Headset Review
If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.
Wireless gaming headsets – good ones anyway – are still a luxury item. Most of IGN’s favorites cost $150 or more. The HyperX Cloud Stinger Wireless, a $100 wireless headset for PC and PS4 (See it at Amazon), offers a slightly cheaper way to cut the cord and go wireless. (Fun fact that’s not on the box: It also works on the Nintendo Switch in docked mode). The Cloud Stinger Wireless bridges the gap between budget wireless headsets with subpar features and the mid-high end devices that set the standards for the category. The wired version of the Cloud Stinger is our favorite cheap headset, but the wireless version is double the price, so let’s see if it’s worth it.

E3 2019: The Simpsons Producers And Writers Are Heading To The Show For A Panel
The writers and producers of Fox’s iconic animated TV show The Simpsons are coming to E3 2019. They will appear on a June 11 E3 Coliseum panel where they will discuss … well, we don’t know. Given E3 is a video game convention, people are naturally assuming there will be a discussion about video games and potentially some news.
But don’t get too excited just yet. A sequel to The Simpsons Hit & Run would be fantastic news, but there is no word yet on if there will be any game announcements during the panel. We don’t even know who from The Simpsons team will be there.
Whatever the case, you can catch The Simpsons panel at E3 on June 11. Presumably it will be streamed live like the rest of the E3 Coliseum panels including the one where Netflix may announce video game adaptations of its shows. The E3 Coliseum is organized by games media veteran Geoff Keighley in coordination with the ESA, which owns and operates E3.
More exciting #E3Coliseum news – join the writers and producers of @TheSimpsons for a panel on June 11! More info to come… #E32019 https://t.co/QOa74rE263 pic.twitter.com/I3fOzO8t2n

There haven’t been any new Simpsons video games for console/PC in a while. The latest one was 2007’s The Simpsons Game, in which the Simpsons family discovers they have been licensed for a video game. Electronic Arts, which owns the license for The Simpsons video games, released a mobile game called The Simpsons: Tapped Out in 2012 and it was, at least for a period of time, a big-time money-maker.
In 2014, The Simpsons TV producer Al Jean said a Simpsons RPG was considered, going on to say at the time that he thought more Simpsons games would be made someday. Might it finally be time for a new Simpsons game to be revealed? It’s too soon to say but that would be exciting.
The Simpsons franchise is now owned by Disney following the company’s acquisition of the majority of Fox’s entertainment assets. In terms of the TV show, all 30 seasons will be available for streaming on Disney+ when the service releases in the United States this November.
