Next Nintendo Direct? - Nintendo Switch Forum

So what can we expect from the next direct and when will we see it? I think it has to be in January and that some big games will be announced. A zelda game might be on the cards what with Aounuma teasing skyward sword hd (I’d rather an Ocarina of Time hd or some kind of collection but I doubt Nintendo will put all their eggs in one basket). What do you guys wish/expect?

There’s currently only 4 Switch 2 3rd party games with release dates post-March:

High on Life 2 - April 20th
Pragmata - April 24th
R-Type Dimensions 3 - May 19th
007 First Light - May 27th

While Nintendo can easily just use Nintendo Today to drop release dates for 1st party games, I don’t see them waiting until March to share 3rd party news considering just how few games there are. At the least there’s got to be a Partner Showcase in January/February.

Looking at history and using Nintendo's list of what they count as a direct, here are all the presentations they've had by the first week of March (note that Pokemon and indies stuff is usually not counted in Nintendo's list):

2012 - Feb 22
2013 - Jan 8 and Jan 23 and Feb 14
2014 - Feb 13
2015 - Jan 14
2016 - Mar 3
2017 - Jan 18
2018 - Jan 11
2019 - Feb 23 and Feb 27
2020 - Feb 20
2021 - Feb 17
2022 - Feb 9
2023 - Feb 8

@rallydefault For whatever it's worth, the 2022 direct was right in the middle of the Olympics.
