Sony Santa Monica writer and streamer Alanah Pearce on a Twitch stream said she has heard a Nintendo Direct will take place on June 29.
"Is there a Nintendo Direct announced?" said Pearce. "No, but I believe that there is a Nintendo Direct coming on the 29th. I don’t know that that’s been announced. You heard it here first."
"I have it written down...June 29th, Nintendo Direct. It’s not technically a leak because Nintendo didn’t tell me."
Nintendo insider Direct-Feed Games via Twitter has corroborated the date saying it is planned for June 28 or June 29 depending on the time zone. VideoGamesChronicle has also said it matches what they have heard.
The information is accurate. The window of airing is either June 28 or June 29 -- may depend on time zone/regional location.

It was never planned for the coming week. It's been slated for late June for many, many weeks. This is not the result of a delay.
It's as planned. https://t.co/XPIFkZqQch

In the immortal words of the Backstreet Boys, quit playing games with my heart.
If true, I hope this is where they announce Persona on Switch.
Persona on Switch... Persona on Switch....
I may end up being Charlie Brown with the footbalI here but I actually think this is legit; possibly on the 28th followed by Nintendo's shareholder meeting on the 29th. And hopefully, HOPEFULLY, we'll finally see the new Donkey Kong game this time.
Outlets like this one need to stop reporting on unsubstantiated rumors. Articles like this encourage these people to throw all kinds of bullshit at the wall to see what sticks.
I love NateTheHate and MVG. Not sure where your hate is coming from. They do a great podcast that, as with all podcasts, is full of speculation. Not sure why he's getting singled out here.
Is there a time stamp? I don't want to sit through an over 3 hour stream.
3 hour Nintendo direct, don't get my hopes up like that
Nintendo directs are usually between 20 and 40 minutes
I believe their longest direct was around 90 minutes
So you don't need to worry about losing a good chunk of your day to it
I know a true leak when I see one. It will definitely happen on June 29.
Why not? So many of Nintendo's games and events have been leaked before they came out this genertation.
The Banjo rumor could still be true. The part about it being in the showcase was just some personal speculation that MVC did. The actual rumor is just that a game is being worked on.
They didn't say that it would be there and they didn't say that it wouldn't be there. All they said was that a game is being worked on.
He said:
"Banjo will be at this show, and it will be announced,," said ModernVintageGamer via VideoGamesChronicle. "I have spoken to a lot of people, and I’m not an insider, I’m a developer, but sometimes I hear things and I was at GDC earlier this year and there were some people talking about Banjo."
"I’ve heard that Banjo’s coming up for months now, from different people. Something’s happening with Banjo, what I can’t tell you is what that is,"
"I feel pretty strongly that there will be a Banjo announcement at this show, because man, I just keep hearing about Banjo."

MVG thought that the game was going to be announced at the show because he had heard about the game a lot, but non of the people talking about it had outright told him that it was going to be there.
I don't feel comfortable calling him an idiot, but he really shouldn't have jumped to conclusions in that way.
Rumor is you dislike Saudi
