Rumor: Next Nintendo Direct Scheduled for February, but Don't Expect a Switch 2 Reveal
Nintendo fans are currently in a state of limbo, eagerly awaiting the announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2. While the next-generation console is on the horizon, the company has yet to make an official statement. In the meantime, the release of new games for the Nintendo Switch has slowed down, with a few notable exclusives scheduled for this year, including:
- Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
- The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
- Super Mario Party
- Mario & Luigi: Brothership
These games are certainly exciting, but they're not the heavy hitters that many fans were hoping for. As the Nintendo Switch 2 is not expected to be announced anytime soon, the company will need to continue releasing games and hosting Nintendo Directs to keep fans engaged.
A New Nintendo Direct Rumored for February
According to a rumor from well-known Nintendo leaker PH Brazil, the next Nintendo Direct is scheduled to take place in February. However, the exact date and details of the presentation are unknown. PH Brazil notes that the Direct will likely focus on the Nintendo Switch 1, with a possible emphasis on a single or couple of first-party games.
The leaker also suggests that Nintendo may not be prioritizing the showcase of late ports of older games, citing the recent announcement of Xenoblade Chronicles X as an example. This rumor aligns with previous speculation that the remaining Nintendo Switch pipeline will consist mainly of ports from previous consoles.
A Grain of Salt
It's worth noting that PH Brazil has an inconsistent track record, so this rumor should be taken with a grain of salt. Nintendo has not commented on the rumor, and it's unlikely that the company will make an official statement.
