According to Jeff Gubb of Venture Beat, it seems like Nintendo is telling developers and other partners not to wait for Direct. As for the first-party announcement and reveal, Nintendo might be following the same strategy as what they did with the latest Paper Mario: The Origami King announcement.

“Earlier this month, I reported Nintendo isn’t planning a Direct for June. As an update to that, I’ll add that Nintendo isn’t planning a Direct at all for now. It’s telling development partners not to wait for a Direct even if they have a big announcement,” said Jeff Grubb in his article.

The last Direct we got was a Mini on March 26, 2020, where they revealed Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, Shinsekai: Into the Depths, Bravely Default 2, and many more. What are your expectations from Nintendo for the next possible video game reveals?

June is indeed a hot month for video games. We are expecting big announcements from Sony, Microsoft, and even Nintendo. Speaking of Sony, the next big PlayStation 5 reveal event is rumored for June 4, 2020, as per Jeff Grubb and that it will feature a lot of games.
