More proof that a Nintendo Direct is happening on or before June 23

Specifically, both say that a Nintendo Direct will happen anytime between June 20 and June 23, a relatively tight window that's only a few days away.

Now, why aren't we hearing any official word from Nintendo about the showcase? For starters, Nintendo has a reputation for NOT announcing a Nintendo Direct until we're only 24 or so hours away from the start of the event.

Also, if you're wondering why the sources aren't sure what kind of Nintendo Direct is going to happen, it's been established that even third-party publishers don't know this information. All they know is their game will be showcased in an upcoming event and that's it. No one, outside of Nintendo, is privvy to information such as the size and scope of the showcase.

In total, there are six different Nintendo Direct types with varying lengths: Nintendo Direct (25-50 minutes), Nintendo Direct Mini (5-15 minutes), Product-specific Nintendo Direct (<50 minutes), Pokemon Presents (10-20 minutes), Indie World Showcase (17-28 minutes), and Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase (8-25 minutes).

Either one of those would be great for the relatively barren slate of upcoming titles for the Nintendo Switch for the second half of the year.

For now, the only confirmed big first-party title for the Nintendo Switch that's coming in the next six months is Pikmin 4 on July 21. The rest are third-party titles, including Mortal Kombat 1 on September 19 and Hogwarts Legacy on November 14.

Fingers crossed, we'll hear more about the next Pokemon game or The Legend of Zelda remaster sooner rather than later.
