Next Nintendo Direct May Be Leaked (And It’s Still A Way Away)

The date of the next Nintendo Direct may have been revealed, and it’s still a ways off. At the moment, Nintendo is in a strange transition phase. The Nintendo Switch 2 – or whatever the next Nintendo consoles will be called – is on the horizon, but hasn’t been officially announced yet. While Nintendo fans wait for the Switch 2 to be revealed, Nintendo Switch releases have been slow. This is evident from the fact that the Switch exclusives this year are Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Super Mario Party and Mario & Luigi: Brothership. These are solid releases for Nintendo, but far from the heavyweights.

However, with the Nintendo Switch 2 not imminent, Nintendo has releases to push out, which also means Nintendo Directs will continue. When the big Nintendo Switch 2 presentation will take place remains to be seen, but a new rumor suggests that the next Nintendo Direct will be in February.

Unfortunately, the rumor doesn’t say exactly when in February. All that is known is that it will happen sometime in February. The source of this rumor is PH Brazil, a well-known Nintendo leaker but whose track record is inconsistent. In other words, the following quote should be viewed with caution.

“As far as I know, there will be a Switch 1-focused Direct in February. “In the end, it could just be another partner showcase with one or more first-party games shown, if at all,” the leaker claims. “The announcement of Xenoblade Chronciles

As you can see, PH Brazil believes that the final part of the Nintendo Switch pipeline will simply be ports of older Nintendo games from previous consoles, which is what other rumors also suggest.

Unfortunately, this is a full-scale rumor. So far there have been no comments from Nintendo, which we believe will not change for various reasons. However, if this is the case, we will be sure to update the story accordingly.
