Nintendo<\/strong> has revealed the next Nintendo Direct<\/strong> livestream, which will air on February 10, 2022. This is going to be a full fat, proper Direct, where you can expect first and third-party news – not like the Indie Directs the company has been so keen on showing off in recent years.<\/p>\n

It’s been quite a while since we enjoyed the most recent Nintendo Direct – a full 132 days since the September 23, 2021 showcase that showed off the Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak expansion<\/a>, Disco Elysium on Switch<\/a> and teased Brewster’s arrival in Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This new showcase will be the first big Nintendo marketing push of 2022, so it stands to reason that we’re going to see more about the games the company is planning to launch over the rest of the year (and, if everything matches up to previous years, we can expect at least three more Directs over the rest of 2022, too). Though the company has directly said this will focus on games launching in the first half of 2022, we may also get dates for things coming later in the year, too.<\/p>\n
