A Nintendo Direct might be coming this week and it could reveal some huge Switch news (Pic: Nintendo)
Last week we brought you news – via the reputable sources of GamingINTEL – that we could see a new Nintendo Direct at some point this April.
Well, it now seems like that Direct could be set to drop an awful lot sooner than originally anticipated.
Who are GamingIntel and why should they be believed? Well, there are a variety of reasons we believe in this rumour.
First up, the site has a pretty good history at predicting/leaking Nintendo Direct events three previous time:
Then last week they announced:
"A source which I have been in communication with for a while now has told me there is a Nintendo Direct planned for April. I cant go into detail right now but this source has been correct on previous Nintendo Direct announcements and dates. Ill be in touch nearer the time to give you some further details."
At the time we believed that this might be in collaboration with a Persona 5 S announcement, which initially suggested the Direct could arrive April 25.
However, GamingINTEL has now suggested it could be coming, this week!
Writing over the weekend, the site told readers:
"In the recent post, we confirmed that we were 'holding back further information until we receive confirmation from our source.'"
"According to our source, alongside many other insiders within our team, the “next Nintendo Direct will be taking place on April 11th, 2019.”"
That's this Thursday for anyone without a calendar to circle right next to them.
Thought GamingINTEL haven't been able to provide any details on what the upcoming Nintendo Direct could contain we do have a fairly good idea as to some of the big announcements we could see.
For one thing, we've known for some time that Persona 5's Joker is coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a DLC fighter.
Add this to the fact the US retailer Best Buy seemingly leaked a render of Joker as he appears in Super Smash Bros Ultimate by uploading it to the backend of its website recently, and you get the impression that will be the biggest reveal.
However, Best Buy also appeared to point towards Persona 5, Metroid Prime Trilogy and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past will all be released on the Nintendo Switch at some point in the near future.
To add fuel to the fire, a website for Persona 5 S has gone live recently, promising more information on 25th April, 2019. A coincidence? We think not.Read More – Source
