Reminder: no Nintendo Switch 2 news
Here’s an important reminder if you haven’t already got the memo: there will be no news about the Nintendo Switch 2 in this presentation.
This was confirmed by Nintendo in the original announcement post, which stated “there will be no updates about Nintendo Switch 2 during this presentation.”
If it’s just Nintendo Switch 2 news that you’re after, you’re best off skipping this Direct in favor of the previously confirmed Nintendo Switch 2 direct on April 2, which takes place at 6AM PT.
A Kirby remaster?
Wondering what might be in store? The latest rumors suggest that we a remaster of Kirby: Planet Robobot could be announced.
Of course, this is pure speculation at this time but it would make a lot of sense. With the Nintendo Switch on the way out, I would expect this Direct to be dominated by remasters or ports of older games.
This is because they’re relatively straightforward to develop and can be outsourced to other studios, allowing Nintendo’s biggest teams to focus on the Nintendo Switch 2.
We saw lots of remasters towards the end of the Nintendo 3DS’s and Wii U’s life, so the company also has form here,
How to prepare
We’re just over three hours until the Nintendo Direct begins, but I’ve got some recommendations for how to prepare.
First, I’d recommend just making a mental note of that start time. If you need a refresher, it’s 7am PT / 10am ET / 2pm GMT, so make sure that you’re free to watch. We also know that the direct will last for roughly 30 minutes, so have that time free.
If you’re not able to follow along to the video live, don’t worry, as I’ll be posting the announcements as they happen in text form. I’ll also be recapping everything after the fact.
Also consider bookmarking the live stream on YouTube. This will make it easy to boot up once that time arrives, ensuring that you won’t miss any of the action.
Good morning gamers! Hello and welcome to my live Nintendo Direct coverage. The hype is definitely building and we’re here to guide you through the day.
I’ll be keeping track of all the latest news, rumors, and even making some predictions as we hurtle towards the show.
