A Nintendo Direct that will “focus on [Nintendo's] remaining lineup for this year" and early 2022 games is rumored to be taking place next week.

Known leaker Zippo Speaks has stated that they’ve been told by multiple sources that "Nintendo is preparing a new general Nintendo Direct for next month." Although not officially announced yet, the direct will supposedly take place in September and will focus on [Nintendo’s] remaining lineup for this year and will give us peeks at early 2022 games.”

Although, as Zippo Speaks themselves writes, fans should "hype at your own risk" there’s actually some supportive evidence behind this theory. We all know that Nintendo fans are always excited for a direct, however, the term Nintendo Direct did trend on Twitter today with many fans realizing that Nintendo has hosted some kind of presentation every September over the last five years.

As Twitter user and video game enthusiast, Stealth shares, Nintendo has held a direct every September starting with a Nintendo 3DS direct on September 1, 2016. Following this, they also hosted a Nintendo Switch and 3DS focused direct on September 13, 2017, another similar one on September 13, 2018, a Nintendo Switch exclusive direct on September 4, 2019, and two in S

Even before 2016, they still happened in the late August through early October time period for the most part...

Just beware of those fake Nintendo Direct Rundown sheets that will all of a sudden just happen to be found 😂
