Leak/June Direct

Nintendo historically hosts a big Direct in June, but last year things were seemingly shifted because of the Switch 2 launch and this left expectations up in the air for 2026. However, industry insiders claimed we were getting something along those lines this month, and one of them just doubled down to confirm/leak the date.

We should start off by saying we cannot confirm or corroborate these details, but we have heard similar claims from sources of our own.

Jeff Grub – well known gaming personality and industry insider to some degree – was largely responsible for putting June Nintendo Direct on the internet. And Grub has now claimed Nintendo has something in store for next week on Tuesday, June 9.

Nintendo does usually host a Direct of some kind in June, as we detailed previously, it does like a good Tuesday morning slot for these things, and this is exactly what it might have in the works this year.
