Video gamers are almost “trained” to look for “tiny details” about things they see or hear within trailers, reveals, and even the games themselves. After all, Easter Eggs are everywhere, and sometimes, the smallest details can reveal certain things about the project itself. It’s true that sometimes gamers get a bit TOO invested in the small details and make false assumptions, but regarding the latest Nintendo Direct, some fans feel they’ve seen their first tease about the Switch successor, and it’s not where you think it might be. In this case, it wasn’t about the games that were shown but the animations of the Direct itself.

With rumors of a Nintendo Direct fast approaching, leakers already claim to know what it'll reveal. Nintendo Directs are irregularly spaced, airing whenever the company has enough big reveals to fill the time slot. A Nintendo Direct was initially predicted for February 15, but was likely delayed so as not to be overshadowed by the end of Xbox exclusivity also announced that week. However, rumor has it a Direct is still coming later this month — and some fans hint at the games it'll allegedly feature.

We are now past the halfway point in February, somehow, and things are already getting crazy in the video game space in more ways than one. Even when you discount the “chaos” that’s going on with Sony and Microsoft right now, no one really knows what’s going on with Nintendo. We don’t know when their next console is coming out or when it’ll be announced. We don’t know whether the games announced for 2024 will be the only “big releases,” and the Nintendo Direct that was supposed to happen this month hasn’t happened yet! It’s all very frustrating for fans and gamers alike.

So, did you wake up today hoping that there would be an announcement of a Nintendo Direct? If you did, you weren’t alone in that desire or belief. Throughout the last two weeks, fans have heard rumors non-stop about a Direct that was likely to happen this month, and while it started out with “basic rumors,” things slowly started to shift. First, it was supposed to be a “standard Direct,” then it shifted to possibly being a “Partner’s Showcase,” and maybe even a “mini” Direct! After that, release date rumors sprouted out, and several claimed that the Direct would arrive either on Valentine’s Day or the day after. If you can’t tell, neither happened.

We’re getting to the point where there’s a “new rumor” about an upcoming Nintendo Direct almost every day or so. Several of them came last week, and some even came right as we ended January. So, it’s only natural that some more of them pop up to kick off the new work week, right? Well, your wish is the insider’s command! The latest rumor comes from insider “Stealth,” who has been an avid reporter of Nintendo news over the years and has been fair in his rumor coverage. As you can see in the tweet below, he states there could be a Direct this week and even gives potential release dates based on the kind we might get.

The exact date for the highly speculated Nintendo Direct event in February 2024 may have been pinpointed, according to a new set of rumors. Directs are one of Nintendo’s main forms of presentations, often showcasing the games arriving for its hardware in the following months. They are usually separated into either first-party Directs, which focus solely on titles produced by Nintendo itself, or third-party partner Directs, which show off the games developed by other companies.

Nintendo Switch 2 will be backwards compatible.

Nintendo’s regular February Nintendo Direct live stream will be a Partner Direct this year, it’s claimed.

It’s that time of year again! With January winding down, Nintendo fans await confirmation that The Big N is getting ready to present its first Nintendo Direct of the year! Ever since these started several years back, fans have been pumped for when the next one will arrive and what will be shown. This particular Direct will be important because it’s not just the first event of the year for Nintendo but because it’s presumably the last “full year” of Switch content. We only have one “original title” coming out via the Princess Peach game, and that seems pretty “light.”

New footage of the Tomb Raider remastered trilogy is currently MIA, but the developer is promising to share "plenty more" on the highly anticipated collection soon.

Nintendo will host an Indie World Showcase on November 14 at 9:00 a.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. ET featuring roughly 20 minutes of announcements and updates on upcoming indie games for Switch, the company announced. You will be able to watch it on YouTube and Twitch.

With the end of the year somehow now in sight, not many are happy about it; people are starting to wonder what will happen in the year’s final four months. For gaming fans, they know about many big releases in the last four months from all three major parties. For Nintendo fans they’re used to certain things happening in September. Specifically, they’re used to a Nintendo Direct coming out and further highlighting what will come out the rest of the year while teasing what is coming out next year. But some fans aren’t so sure that’s what will happen this year.

There is plenty of anticipation and excitement over Nintendo Directs. Typically, Nintendo doesn’t offer much warning when holding these presentations. You might just get a heads-up a day in advance, and that means you never know just when these presentations will take place. Of course, we have an industry insider that is already suggesting we should see a Nintendo Direct happen this September. But again, we don’t know whether this will be the case or not directly from Nintendo quite yet.
