Are we getting a Nintendo Directo showcase later this month? According to the grapevine talk, we'll hear more from the Japanese console manufacturer real soon.
Audiences missed Nintendo's presence at this year's massive lineup of gaming events and shows, which is probably why we're getting all kinds of reports that the company will end the month with its own event. Although we have not received an official confirmation yet, several sources have corroborated each other's reports in recent weeks. This would imply that they're telling the truth - a new Nintendo Direct is coming next week.
The latest credible source to come forward with the same info is the editor of the Spanish games magazine, Manual, Nacho Requena. The tenured journalist revealed on Friday that major publishers will have their time in the limelight at a Nintendo Direct on Tuesday.
This wouldn't be Nintendo's first time holding an exhibition of third-party titles. During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Nintendo held several livestreams titled "Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase" that featured content exclusively from third-party partners. However, we didn't get to see such an event in 2021, which led many to believe that it was all a one-year thing for Nintendo. But, if we believe the recent rumors, this isn't the case.
