Amidst the recent flurry of gaming events such as the PlayStation Showcase, Xbox Games Showcase, and Summer Game Fest 2023, one thing has been notably absent: a new Nintendo Direct.
However, the anticipation may soon be over as rumors continue to circulate about an imminent Nintendo presentation that could bring exciting news and surprises to fans.
Insider Rumblings and Speculation
In the past few days, renowned insider NateTheHate2 started a buzz with hints pointing to the possibility of the next Nintendo Direct happening this week. Adding to the speculation, the insider later suggested that the event could take place between June 20 and 23.
NateTheHate2 isn’t the only one fueling the anticipation. Felipe Lima from Universo Nintendo also suggests that there will be a new Nintendo Direct during the week starting on Friday, June 23. This means the excitement could be just around the corner, starting from Sunday, June 18.
Uncertain Format and Exciting Possibilities

While neither source clarifies the nature of this potential Nintendo Direct—whether it will be a general, mini, or partner event—Lima believes that there will be first-party announcements, indicating it could be a general or mini Direct. It’s worth noting that partner events primarily focus on third-party news.
As of now, Nintendo has not made any official statements regarding a new Nintendo Direct. Typically, the company confirms such events a few days in advance. Therefore, it’s only a matter of time until we find out if these rumors hold true.
Rest assured, at Gazettely, we will continue to closely monitor the situation and provide updates as soon as we learn more about these rumors surrounding the potential new Nintendo Direct.
