Nintendo Direct April 2019: Rumours, leaks and game updates point to livestream in April (Pic: NINTENDO)

Nintendo fans, get excited – we reckon there could be a new Nintendo Direct this month.

There are a variety of reasons we believe this. First up, GamingINTEL has predicted that we're likely to see something drop this month – and the site has a pretty good history at predicting Nintendo events.

"A source which I have been in communication with for a while now has told me there is a Nintendo Direct planned for April," reports the site.

"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."

We believe – mixed with news about a Persona 5 S announcement later in the month – this points to a Nintendo Direct taking place on April 25th.

Now, that may seem fairly insubstantial and not worthy of note on its own, but when you hold that up to the site's previous predictions… well, it's worth taking note of.

Nintendo has also hosted Directs in 2015 and 2017, so there is a precedent for this sort of thing happening, too.

Not only that, but some recent developments also suggest that we're going to see some more games announced at this theoretical Direct stream.
