When will we see new announcements and details on the latest Switch games? After being visibly postponed, the next Nintendo Direct would be broadcast very soon.
There has never been so much cacophony around a Nintendo Direct. Various trusted insiders have repeatedly argued that an event will take place in February. During this presentation, Big N should provide details on Switch games from “partners”. This can mean anything and everything, even if we are perhaps counting on big titles rather than independent software, which are generally highlighted through the “Indie Word” format. But to see. Is this meeting really likely to happen this month? This is what we learn in a serious new leak.
Is the February 2024 Nintendo Direct still relevant?
For several weeks, there has been a persistent rumor about a Nintendo Direct in February 2024. A media outlet had heard that the broadcast could take place between February 12 and 15, while Jeff Grubb was more cautious. The journalist and insider did not have a specific date, other than the simple mid-February window. No smoke without fire? Apparently, yes anyway. This Nintendo Direct should have been released this Thursday, February 15, 2024, but according to Grubb, the Japanese manufacturer has backtracked. The reason ? Following increasingly pressing rumors about ports of Xbox exclusives to PS5 and Switch, the company would have preferred to give up its place and postpone its presentation.
“I know no one wants to hear this, but just like when the Queen died, it’s true: I heard earlier this week that they were discussing moving the Nintendo Direct due to Xbox’s planned update » Jeff Grubb said. A slight delay? If Pyoro_X is to be believed, yes. But who is it ? A mysterious person who was rarely wrong about Nintendo, if at all, and who notably revealed the existence of Mario vs Donkey Kong.
We can therefore listen to what the user has to say, and according to him, the new Nintendo Direct arrives between February 19 and 23, 2024. And it doesn’t stop there. In response to an Internet user, he said he was not enthusiastic about this future speech. Disappointing announcements? Perhaps, there would be one thing expected: the release date of Penny’s Big Breakaway. An ultra colorful 3D platformer, ideal for Nintendo’s hybrid console, which is due to arrive this year.
