Could we see some gripping announcements at the Nintendo Direct? Going by these packages, fans are offered a ray of hope.

The countdown is finally on for this year's Nintendo Direct with fans enthusiastically waiting for some exciting announcements. Although much of E3 2021 may not have been what many had hoped for, Nintendo could have something up its sleeve to blow us all away.

Of course, we should keep our expectations in check as studios still try and recover from the horrendous implications of COVID over the past year but in saying that, Nintendo ambassadors and Youtubers have been recieving packages from the company that does offer up some hope.

The package in question has the words “Break In Case Of Extreme Excitement” printed across the box that include a stack of interesting items. Along with the curious package, Nintendo has slipped in a note that reads "we wanted to send you some fun items to help enhance your viewing experience”.

Just to make it clear and so that fans don't lose their heads too much, there's a statement at the bottom of the note that points out that nothing in the box gives any hints of what will be showcased at today's Nintendo Direct. So you can put away your magnifying glass.

A tweet from one of the Nintendo ambassadors, Kyle 'Blessious' Blessing, showcases what the box looks like as well as their very own Nintendo hoodie with their name on it. Some people have all the luck!
