Nintendo delays Store maintenance to June 11 amid Direct rumors

Nintendo moved scheduled Nintendo Store maintenance from June 9 to June 11, postponing the store’s planned downtime by two days. The company did not provide a reason for the change.

The new date has prompted speculation that Nintendo will hold a Nintendo Direct on June 11. In past years, Nintendo’s store outages have often coincided with Direct broadcasts.

Several industry insiders have referenced a possible Direct this week. Accounts known as NateTheHate and Jeff Grubb have mentioned an imminent presentation. A Twitter user using the name The Peaky Bird posted a potential runtime for a show.

Nintendo has not confirmed any Direct, its content or duration, and has not published an official notice linking the maintenance change to a broadcast.

E3-related events begin this weekend, with EA Play and Microsoft’s Xbox conference scheduled around the same period. Some reports have suggested Nintendo could present on June 11 and that a Direct might run about 45 minutes; those details remain unverified.

A forum thread circulating claims about the content of future Direct presentations has not been confirmed and has been questioned by participants.

Until Nintendo issues an official schedule or livestream link, the maintenance date change is the only confirmed update. Fans and media are awaiting any further announcements and updates to the Nintendo Store downtime notice.
