Nintendo didn’t announce why they were conducting the said maintenance. However, the maintenance ended with fans realizing that the speculations weren’t true.

According to SwitchForce, the event is definitely happening next week. “Now I can’t tell you where I got it from and I can’t tell you the exact specific details of why I’m sure this is true, but just know that I don’t say this very often,” he added.

What will the upcoming Switch event feature?

SwitchForce didn’t reveal an exact date, but we can expect a Direct to happen between June 14 to June 19. Along with this, the popular insider also added that the company may not include the already announced titles like Breath of the Wild sequel, Splatoon 3, Pokemon Scarlet, and more in the upcoming Direct.
