Nintendo Switch gamers will be keeping a look out for news on whether there will be a Nintendo Direct for April 2019 this week. For the past few weeks the rumour mill has been abuzz with claims that an April 2019 Nintendo Direct was taking place. It had previously been claimed that a Nintendo Direct was taking place on April 11 but that date came and passed without any big Switch news. Fans later had been left wondering whether a tweet from Nintendo of America had been hinting a Direct would take place on April 15.
However, again no Nintendo Direct took place on that date.
But there is hope that Ninty could hold a Nintendo Direct in the coming days to coincide with a much-tipped announcement.
This week in Japan the Persona Super Live concert will be taking place on Wednesday April 24 and Thursday April 25.
