Square Enix blinks first in its game of E3 chicken with Nintendo

Final Fantasy publisher Square Enix no longer wants to risk the chance that you’d rather see what’s going on with Nintendo.

Earlier this week, Nintendo and Square Enix both revealed they would hold media events for the Electronic Entertainment Expo trade event on June 16 at 9 a.m. Pacific time. This struck many as an odd choice considering Nintendo has held that slot for years. Well, it looks like Square Enix has come around to that line of reasoning as well, because it has rescheduled its presentation to 10 a.m. Pacific time that day.

Check out the tweet announcement from the company:
