The rumors were true. Nintendo really does have a Direct planned soon. Very soon, in fact, as it confirmed on Twitter earlier today that its next Direct will be taking place on Wednesday, February 9, 2022. Yes, that is tomorrow. In typical Nintendo fashion, the studio has given us barely any time to prepare and speculate on what the Direct might include. As highlighted in the tweet announcing the news, the 40-minute presentation will focus on Switch titles launching through the first half of 2022.
The Direct will begin at 5 pm ET, so on the bright side, that does give us more than 24 hours to speculate wildly on what to expect. We need something now that there are no unannounced Smash fighters to argue over. Something that isn't a giant leap is the assumption that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kirby And The Forgotten Land will get some screen time. The upcoming Kirby game is Nintendo's next big launch and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:will be here on March 25, 2022.
The biggest Switch game of the year so far has been 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Legends: Arceus, selling 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:6.5 million copies in its first week. Without giving away how Arceus's story pans out for those of you still making your way through the sprawling Hisui region, the game's ending lends itself to some DLC. Perhaps we will get confirmation of that tomorrow if there is some additional content in the new Pokemon game's future.
Perhaps the biggest news item Switch owners will be waiting for with bated breath is something, anything about the future of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mario Kart. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:If insiders and leaks are anything 🐈to go by, then Nintendo not only knows what it wants to do next with Mario Kart, but whatever that next stage happens to be is currently in development. The best-selling racing series of all time celebrates its 30t🦄h birthday this year, so it stands to reason Nintendo would want to 🀅mark that occasion in some way.
There is no time quite like the hours before a Nintendo Direct. Everyone with a Switch, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:which ไis now 🎀more than 103 million people, will get wild and wonderful ideas in their heads about what might be on the cards. Nintendo waits so long to make announcements, often just weeks before titles arrive, that saying games arriving during the first half of 2022 could really mean anything. If all of the above features in tomorrow's Direct, then it will likely please an awful lot of Nintendo fans.
