For almost a decade, Nintendo Direct has been a significant part of the gaming industry. Since the Japanese company launched the event in 2011, it served as the major platform to announce exciting news for its worldwide fan base. A new claim reveals that the Japanese company might hold a Nintendo Direct event in July of this year.
The latest information about the rumored Nintendo Direct event happening this month comes from Twitter user KeliosFR. In February, the tipster once leaked the Mar 26, 2020 Nintendo Direct event. The insider responded to a schedule of upcoming events in the gaming industry happening this month.
In a reply, he says that the tweet forgot to include the Nintendo Direct event happening this month. The Japanese company has not yet announced any schedule for this month. The tipster's information will be a huge surprise if it turns out to be true. Earlier, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa mentioned that the company would be reconsidering Nintendo Direct events moving forward.
The executive noted that times have changed and so does the way of promoting products. Furukawa seemingly hinted in his statement that Nintendo could utilize other means of promoting its products and services in the nearest future. He added that there is a likelihood that a new and better way of presenting information to the industry could be utilized.
The recent statement of the company's president could be interpreted as an assurance to fans Nintendo Direct is not yet going away any time soon. The Japanese company, until now, is still utilizing the event to be its platform in announcing and marketing its products and services. But, it also means that Nintendo is considering other advertising and marketing means.
The company's plan for the future might be influenced by the current global health crisis caused by the coronavirus. Some of the best employees of the Japanese company are still working from home. It is possible that the Japanese company would like to consider other options in case a similar problem arises in the future. A new marketing method that could help streamline the process of announcing products and services is a very realistic idea.
The possibility of a Nintendo Direct event happening this month is not impossible. However, it is important to take note that the information is a rumor since Nintendo has not yet confirmed if the event is really happening. Additionally, although the company's president already hinted at using other means to promote its products, it is possible that it will not yet stop the event that gaming enthusiasts have known to love all these years.
