RUMOR: Nintendo Direct delayed due to death of Queen Elizabeth  

According to two journalists

A few days ago we informed you that Nintendo was preparing a big Nintendo Direct , which was scheduled to take place in September. In particular, the Japanese giant’s show, which would have a strong Zelda flavor, was reported to take place in the week starting September 12.

Now, the rumors have taken a surprising turn, as, strange as it may sound, GameBeat reporter Mike Minotti and his colleague, highly reliable reporter Jeff Grubb, are reporting that Nintendo’s show has been postponed due to the death of Queen Elizabeth .

Elizabeth B’ was the longest-lived queen in world history and a few hours ago it was announced that she passed away at the age of 96. The topic has predictably grabbed global attention and is still going viral on social media. This is probably why Nintendo has decided to postpone its show, both as a sign of respect to the citizens of the United Kingdom, but also to make its announcements during a “quieter” period.

Below you will find the relevant publications of the journalists in question that brought this new, admittedly unexpected, information to the surface.
