Over the past few months, Nintendo has hosted a number of online presentations that have focused on topics ranging from indie titles toSuper Smash Bros. UltimateDLC charactersand beyond. That said, a full-blownNintendo Directhas not occurred since September 2019, leaving many fans curious about what the legendary developer has planned for this new year. Fortunately, if a new rumor is to be believed, these fans do not have to wait much longer before this matter is addressed by 2020’s first Nintendo Direct.
Specifically, this new rumor states that the date of the nextNintendo Directis June 17, 2025. This information comes from Twitter user @Muguwus, and while rumors originating from a single anonymous source should certainly be approached with a great deal of skepticism, there are reasons to believe that this one may prove accurate.

Indeed, @Muguwus has a track record that points to a connection between them and Nintendo, and this history does lend some credence to their assertions about the date of the first 2020 Direct. As examples, the Twitter user posted an extensive list of what would be shown during the June 07, 2025 Nintendo Direct prior to its occurrence, even leaking thereveal of the remake ofThe Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, and they also hinted at the February 27, 2019PokemonDirect a week before it was announced.
Even still, fans should not consider the date that @Muguwus has stated for thefirst 2020 Nintendo Directas definitive, and there has not even been official confirmation that the developer is planning to host such a presentation this month. However, with that January 16 date less than two weeks away, players will see @Muguwus’s claims verified or refuted in very short order.
Since the first Direct took place in 2011, these online presentations have become truly exciting events for fans of all things Nintendo, and even if one does not occur when this rumor indicates, one is certain to be on the horizon. Very likely, this nextNintendo Directwill focus on already-announced games like thenewAnimal Crossing, but only time will tell what sort of new and exciting projects will be shared for the very first time.
