A new Nintendo Direct will reportedly be held next week, as Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb claims that Nintendo’s next big showcase will be held the week of February 6. “Everything I’m hearing, and it’s all just sort of reiterating it, it continues to be the week of February 6,” Grubb said on his Game Mess show.
“I think it’s probably late in the week, so if February 6 is going to come around and we’re not going to hear about it, and people are going to freak out like there’s nothing happening, first of all, I’m not guaranteeing it for that week, I’m just saying that’s what everything is sort of pointing to right now.”
Nintendo has traditionally held a Direct showcase in February, occasionally splitting the focus of the show between a preview of several games and more dedicated livestreams like 2016’s Pokemon Direct. A February Direct has been held almost every single year since 2012, with the only exception being 2017’s Nindies Showcase.
