No Nintendo Direct in June 2020?

No Nintendo Direct in June 2020?

The next big Nintendo Direct might come later then we hope as news surfaced from Zippo, a leaker who previously got quite a few things right.

Zippo claimed that Nintendo will not be hosting a Nintendo Direct this June, which is the same month as the now cancelled E3 2020. The reason, he claimed, is because Nintendo was “woefully unprepared” for WFH (work from home) arrangements during the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, and given the circumstances, it is very hard for the company to prepare for the presentation.

Behind on schedule

Zippo added that many third party and indie developers are “also behind” on their schedule due to the outbreak, and he expects Nintendo to make an announcement about the lack of a June Nintendo Direct next week.

Although there isn’t going to be a Nintendo Direct in June, the leaker says that Nintendo will spread out their announcements throughout the year on social media, similar to how they have been announcing updates for Super Mario Maker 2 and Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

For now please do keep in mind that this is a rumor. Nintendo has not announced anything in this regard or commented on it.

What do you think will happen?
