Nintendo Switch is one of the most popular consoles among gamers owing to its exceptional portability and huge collection of exclusive titles. The Japanese video game behemoth always tries to make the best out of its ideas and surprise fans through exciting announcements. 

Every year, the company holds an exclusive series of events called Nintendo Direct to let fans know about what’s upcoming. What’s more is we may get to see an all-new Nintendo Direct in the coming weeks, according to new speculations. 

Nintendo usually hosts a ‘Direct’ in the month of June to let fans know their plans. This was the trend since June 2017. However, with E3 getting canceled for 2022, Nintendo may change its trend too. Moreover, Nintendo hasn’t yet made an official announcement regarding an upcoming Direct. 

The last Nintendo Direct was held back in February. With the Summer Game Fest knocking on our doors, fans also want Nintendo to present a new Nintendo Direct this month. Well, we do have some good news for Nintendo fans! 

Can we expect a Nintendo Direct anytime soon?

According to a reliable Switch informant, SwitchForce, the next Nintendo Direct may happen in the next week. If the speculation is indeed correct, the much-anticipated event should be aired live for fans all over the world in the second week of June.
