But this leak isnt that abd because if Nintendo announces a direct in a few days we can confirm its real.

Saying a direct would be announced "in the next few days" is way too vague to be considered convincing if such a direct is announced. It's too generic, and mostly fairly predictable for anyone with no foreknowledge. Nintendo has a history of having a single teaser of some sort prior to the E3 when they reveal their new system. There's also need for a direct to cover some new Pokemon information prior to its reveal in CoroCoro (because it's unlikely that the first information reveal for Sun/Moon will be CoroCoro exclusive). They need to talk about the new features of My Nintendo and Miitomo, as well as talk about Star Fox Zero/Guard, Lost Reavers, and TMS#FE. And there's undoubtedly at least one more new title they want to announce soon.

So a new Direct announced in the next few days isn't exactly a particularly bold prediction. I'd suggest that it's maybe a 40% chance of it happening within the next, say, 5 days.

There are too many questionable things in the claim, including the part where the guy claims to be a dev in a third party, perhaps even indie, studio, yet somehow knows internal Nintendo information like when they plan to announce a Direct or what engines are being used by Nintendo internally, not to mention the name of the console. There's also no chance that they would know how much memory is being allocated to the OS itself, since it's not relevant to external developers - what matters to them is the memory allocation for games.

Actually I don't think Nintendo needs Direct for games and I dont thik we will have any Direct before E3 for games, we already had one last month and Nintendo clearly has much less often Directs than before. Pokemon Sun/Moon will be definitely be at E3, Star Fox Zero/Guard doesnt need direct because Nintendo already started releasing tons of infos, videos and screenshots. TMS#FE is not big game and its already out in Japan, Lost Reavers is free to play game and small project, so definitely they dont need Direct to be discussed about.

Maybe we could have some kind specifik Direct NX related only, but IMO there is no chance Nintendo will discuss about NX and about WiiU/3DS games in same direct.
