Now that the Switch 2 has been revealed, the rumors and leaks in general should calm down. However, this does not necessarily mean that it will disappear 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 comes out. So what will Nintendo be doing in the meantime?
Well, if the insiders are right again, we might have an answer. You see, in the same podcast episode where NateTheHate revealed his information about the Switch 2 trailer release date, he also said that a Nintendo Direct focused on Switch 1 games would arrive in February. Since then, Brazilian journalist Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe has now said in a post on Famiboards that “the February Direct is just around the corner”.
It's also more than likely that there will 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 first. Maybe the Switch 1 Nintendo Direct and Pokemon Presents will help make the wait for April a little easier.
