Even though E3 2020 is canceled, companies like Microsoft and Nintendo are still expected to hold digital presentations around the same time to showcase upcoming new games. Now a new “leak” claims to reveal Nintendo’s plans for a June 2020Nintendo Direct presentation, though fans should take the information with a massive grain of salt.
This leak originates from 4chan, which has actually been the source of some legitimate Nintendo leaks in the past. In fact, there was amassivePokemon SwordandShieldleakthat originated on 4chan that had every single claim it made proven true. Even so, “leaks” like this are almost always more likely to be fake than legitimate, so fans should keep that in mind before getting too worked up about any of the claims.

According to the leak, moreSuper MarioLEGO sets will be revealed, along withWarioWare: Switch It Up!, theArmsSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatecharacter (said to be Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, Ninjara, and MinMin in a “Koopalings situation”), therumoredSuper MarioHD bundle,Super Mario 3D World Deluxewith Waluigi and Toadette, the newPaper MarioSwitch game,Pikmin 3Switch port with aPikmin 4confirmation, the announcement ofF-Zero: Turbo, aRare Replayport,Donkey Kong Countrygames for Switch Online, Geno as aSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatefighter, and the reveal of aSuper Mario RPGremake.
Again, fans should take this information with a massive grain of salt, though there is likely truth to some of the claims. ThenewPaper Mariogamehas been leaked by far more reputable sources, as has theSuper MarioHD bundle andSuper Mario 3D World Deluxe. It would actually be somewhat surprising tonotsee these games announced come Nintendo’s expected June 2020 Direct presentation.
The most suspect claim in the leak is the supposedRare Replayport for the Nintendo Switch. Microsoft and Nintendo seem to have a good relationship, what withBanjo-Kazooie coming toSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, but aRare Replayport still seems unlikely. It would mean that a variety of Xbox exclusives, likeViva Pinata,Kameo: Elements of Power,Perfect Dark Zero, and more would come to the Switch, which seems highly unlikely.
Like with any leak, fans should treat the information here with skepticism and wait for some information fromNintendoitself.
