January Mini-Direct: Lots of rumours for over a week, on the day itself there were strong rumours about a mini Direct happening in the afternoon, which did indeed get uploaded by Nintendo later that day (without an actual anouncement; no live stream).
March Direct: Announced by Nintendo on the 7th for the next day, after a lot of rumours saying so.
September Direct: Announced by Nintendo on the day before the Direct (on the 5th, Direct would be on the 6th). However, the Direct didn't happen due to an eathquake in Japan. One week later (13th Sep) was announced that the Direct would go through the next day (14th Sep).
November Smash Direct: Announced by Nintendo on the 30th of October, two days before it happened.
So it varies, from a few days to one day, and no announcement at all for the Mini Direct.
I have too much time on my hands
