New year, new Nintendo Direct rumours \u2014 Nintendo usually likes to hold a big presentation every February, and it appears that it’s continuing that trend in 2026, as a proper Nintendo Direct (not focused on the Mario Galaxy Movie<\/strong> or Tomodachi Life<\/a>) could be coming as soon as next week.<\/p>\n

This rumour comes from prominent podcaster and YouTuber Nate the Hate on his podcast<\/a> (via the GamingLeaksAndRumors subreddit<\/a>), who says he has heard from his sources that a Nintendo Direct will be airing “in the opening week of February”, potentially Thursday 5th February<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Now, before you get too excited, Nate does stress that he hasn’t been able to confirm this with his best sources, but given Nintendo’s history, we’d be extremely surprised if we didn’t get a Direct –either a big one or a Partner Showcase \u2014 sometime next month.<\/p>\n

We will say as we always do with stories like this, take this with a pinch of salt. Nothing is official until Nintendo says anything, so for now, we can just speculate on what<\/em> exactly Nintendo might bring to the table.<\/p>\n
