expect a nice surprise for the next event

The final Nintendo Direct dedicated to the first Switch to be held in February could prepare a nice surprise, according to new insistent rumors.

In all likelihood, and probably to the disappointment of some fans, the original Switch should be the star of the next Nintendo Direct for its swan song before the arrival of the Switch 2. According to a generally well-informed leaker regarding Big N, the Japanese giant is also preparing a grand farewell ceremony for its flagship console released eight years ago, including a final major title.

A beautiful swan song for the latest Nintendo Direct for the Switch?

While Big N is giving us an appointment in April to see what the Switch 2 has in its belly, and which games will accompany its extremely anticipated launch, the Japanese firm should respect its annual calendar and hold its first Nintendo Direct of the year in February. This would therefore be, potentially to the great dismay of some, exclusively devoted to the first Switch of the name. This is so that she ends her now eight-year reign in style. Players will therefore be entitled to the announcement of new games on the latter, while awaiting the release of its little sister later in the year.

However, it seems that the venerable Switch could still be entitled to at least one major new game. According to PH Brazil, a leaker specializing in everything related to Nintendo, the Nintendo Direct in February could be the scene of the announcement of a “ latest major exclusive from a beloved, but somewhat niche, franchisefor the first Switch “. It would also be a question of a brand new game, and not a remake or remaster.

Potential candidates meeting these criteria are legion: Chibi-Robo, Golden Sun, or Kid Icarus, among other possibilities. But a consensus seems to have been found around Star Fox, an iconic Nintendo license that we haven’t seen since Episode Zero on Wii U in 2016 and Star Fox 2 in 2017. If a Nintendo Direct is held in February , in any case you won’t have to wait long to find out. However, we should wait for official confirmation from Big N regarding whether or not its next event will actually take place.
