Now that the Switch 2 has been revealed, rumors and leaks in general should be calming down. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re going to go away completely. One thing that stood out in the Switch 2 reveal trailer is that there are 2 and a half months before Nintendo’s Switch 2 Direct will happen. So, what is Nintendo going to do in the meantime?
Well, if insiders end up being right again, we may have an answer. You see, in the same podcast episode that NateTheHate revealed his info on the Switch 2 reveal trailer date, he also said that a Nintendo Direct that is focused on Switch 1 games would be coming in February. Since then, Brazilian journalist Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe has now said in a Famiboards post that “the February Direct is just around the corner”.
There is also more than likely going to be a Pokemon Presents presentation in the same month, so it’s possible that Nintendo decided to wait until April for the Switch 2 Direct because they have other presentations to do first. Perhaps a Switch 1 Nintendo Direct and a Pokemon Presents will help make the wait for April a little easier.
