Prediction market on metaculus. Nintendo Direct is Nintendo's series of online video presentations announcing upcoming games and hardware. "General" Directs are broad presentations covering Nintendo's overall lineup, typically 30-60 minutes long, distinguished from game-specific Directs (e.g., the May 6, 2026 "Star Fox Direct"), the "Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase," "Indie World," "Pokémon Presents," and Mini presentations. In recent years, Nintendo has typically held a summer general Direct in mid-to-late June around the time of Summer Game Fest (formerly E3): June 21, 2023; June 18, 2024; and June 18, 2025 (the 2025 June broadcast was the game-specific "Donkey Kong Bananza Direct"; the broader 2025 general Direct came September 12). For 2026, Nintendo has so far officially announced only the Star Fox Direct (May 6, 2026). Reliable industry insider Jeff Grubb said on the Giant Bombcast in mid-May 2026 that he is "hearing there'll be a Nintendo Direct by mid-June," possibly around or after Summer Game Fest 2026 (which runs in early June). Other commentators (Nate the Hate) have echoed this. Nintendo typically announces Direct dates only a few days in advance via its official Twitter/X account and the Nintendo Direct landing page. Historical base rates suggest that if a June Direct occurs, it most commonly lands in the third week of June (June 15-21), which is outside the resolution window. However, "by mid-June" rumors suggest it could occur earlier this year, and Summer Game Fest 2026 timing may pull the Direct into the first two weeks of June. `{"format": "llm_question", "info": {"rating": {"quality": 3, "ambiguity": 3, "resolvability": 4, "passes": true}}}`
