A new credible rumour points to a Nintendo Direct taking place for later this month that will focus on new games coming to Nintendo Switch.
That’s according toSonySanta Monica writer and former IGN journalist Alanah Pearce who shared (viaTwitch) that a Nintendo Direct is happening on June 29th, 2022. Pearce is also a well-known host and influencer in the games space, which is why this information is seen as more reliable than the endless speculation found on the web.
Nintendo traditionally hosts a video presentation during June to coincide with E3, however, with the LA-based event not happening this year, nothing has been confirmed as of yet. Several other digital conferences have taken place so far, including a Sony State of Play fromPlayStationand a joint conference fromMicrosoftand Bethesda for Xbox, so Nintendo is the remaining major console manufacturer to show up. It’s likely something will be announced in the coming days/week.
T3 has reached out to Nintendo for comment.

“I believe there is a Nintendo Direct coming on the 29th. I don’t know if that’s been announced – you heard it here first,” said Pearce, in response to a question from a viewer.
“Let me check what date it is. I have it written down - 29th, yeah June 29th. It’s not technically a leak because Nintendo didn’t tell me, which is how I make that call. But it’s also that I’m not leaking anything that’s in it…”
The last Nintendo Direct took place in February whenNintendo Switch SportsandMario Strikers: Battle Leaguewere announced for the first time. Now that these games have been launched, only a few firm dates have been revealed for Nintendo’s slate of releases for the rest of 2022, such as Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Splatoon 3 and Pokémon Scarlet / Violet.
