Nintendo rumoured to be hosting a Nintendo Direct this July

With Sony having recently hosted their PlayStation Showcase, and Summer Game Fest + Microsoft set to premiere their own showcases, many have been wondering what (if anything) Nintendo has planned for the Summer. According to one insider we may get a Nintendo Direct next month.

During the most recent episode of the Giant Bombcast, industry insider Jeff Grubb claimed to have heard “early rumblings” of an upcoming Nintendo Direct, saying “I’ll say that I'm hearing something’s gonna be in July, next month. Whether that is a proper Direct or like a partner Direct or a 3rd-party showcase Direct– however they wanna frame it…I have no idea but it seems like– don’t expect anything of that sort at least until next month.”

Of course, we did have a Nintendo Direct relatively recently, however it was focused exclusively on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – and with that game officially out now, what Nintendo has planned next is anyone’s guess.

All that said, Nintendo skips to the beat of their own drum, and so a Nintendo Direct could just as easily be announced tomorrow. We shall see. 

KitGuru says: When do you think we will get the next Nintendo Direct? Will it be a big one? How many Directs away are we from a Switch successor announcement? Let us know your thoughts down below.
