An established Nintendo Direct leaker with a credible story has suggested there could be a live in August, and with new rumors, a Smash fighter may also be revealed.
In a Resetera post speculating when the next Nintendo Direct will be, the featured ‘King Zell’ filter chimed in, writing that it won’t be in July.
“The main event [is] Not in July, or the stop over before the main event not in July? one user asked, apparently referring to a general Nintendo Direct while quoting King Zell’s comment.
“Wait until August,” replied the filter. “Nothing for the rest of this month.”
It looks like there could be some kind of Direct in August.
In particular, there was a very small Direct Mini Partner Show on July 20 that had also leaked ahead of time. Unfortunately, he found mixed results, and it wasn’t the main live that many expected.
While the filter did not elaborate further on its “wait until August” statement, another prominent source, “NateDrake,” chimed in that Nintendo “will lean heavily on Mario this holiday.”
With 2020 as Mario’s 35th anniversary, Eurogamer has been rumored or even confirmed that remakes of Mario 64, Sunshine and Galaxy are being remastered. This could very well be what NateDrake was referring to.
Leaker NateDrake says to expect a few things from Mario.
However, it also appears that if a Direct occurred, it would not be general; NateDrake also wrote that “he has not heard of any General Direct for the month of August,” and does not believe there is one.
That being said, when asked about the possibility of a Mario Direct Direct in August, he was much more positive and suggested that it might happen.
NateDrake does not believe there will be a direct general in August.
With all this Nintendo Direct discussion, it should be kept in mind that a Smash Ultimate fighter is also rumored to be revealed.
As Dexerto previously reported, it seems possible that a new Smash Ultimate fighter will be announced soon, as a lot of signs are piling up.
Will there be a Mario Direct?
For one thing, the Smash website was updated, removing the “new” tag from the last fighter, ARMS ‘Min Min. This usually only happens if a new fighter is announced.
In addition, Pokken will undergo a free trial for Nintendo Switch Online members that will last until August 4. In the past, Fire Emblem and ARMS had free trials before their DLC fighter for Smash was announced. Chances are, a Pokémon can be DLC 7.
It’s also possible that given all the Mario-related news we’ve been waiting for, the next character will end up being Mario in the form of Geno or Waluigi, two fan favorites who are often the best fighters requested in fan polls. .
In any case, we will just have to wait and see what happens. As always, take all of this news with a grain of salt until we get solid confirmation.
