Summary
- The rumored February 2025 Nintendo Direct was confirmed by a prominent leaker despite no official word.
- The Direct is expected to focus on Switch 1 third-party games.
- Fans shouldn’t expect Switch 2 news until April 2.
The rumored February 2025 Nintendo Direct is still happening, according to a prominent leaker. With the month halfway over and still no official word from Nintendo, some fans have begun to question whether a Direct would really happen as earlier rumors suggested. Still, some in the community believe that the Direct will come sometime in the next two weeks.
Fans have speculated that a Direct would happen in February since mid-January. One leaker got more specific and suggested that the next Nintendo Direct would happen on February 4 or 5, based on Nintendo’s online service maintenance schedule, but those dates have come and gone with no such presentation. However, a different leaker, and one with a strong track record, has assured Nintendo fans that a Direct is still on the table this month.

Rumor: Bungie’s Next Game Could Be Coming to the Switch
A recent rumor alleges that Bungie’s upcoming brand-new IP might make its way to the Nintendo Switch on day one in addition to PS5 and PC.
On February 15, Famiboards user PH Brazil claimed his source confirmed that a February Direct was still coming in a thread about the rumored presentation. Notably, PH Brazil is the leaker who initially claimed the next Nintendo Direct would fall in February a month ago, though at the time, he offered no details other than the month. He also correctly predicted the August 2024 presentation, when Nintendo announced Civilization 7 would get a day-one launch on the Switch and that Pizza Tower was coming to the platform. According to this most recent comment, the news of the February 2025 Direct comes from the same inside source.
A February 2025 Direct Is Still Happening, According to Prominent Leaker
PH Brazil is not the only big figure in the community to claim Nintendo will hold a presentation this month. Gaming news insider Jeff Grubb has said his sources confirmed that Nintendo is planning a Direct for later in February, adding that it will likely be either a Mini Direct or a Partner Showcase rather than a major event. Considering how Nintendo has said it will reveal more about the upcoming Switch 2 console in an April presentation, it makes sense that anything between now and then would be relatively small.
As for what exactly the rumored February Direct will include, things are less clear. If what Grubb has said holds true, fans could expect a quick rundown of third-party titles coming to the platform, though there’s no word if anything major is in the works for the presentation. Of course, nothing is certain until Nintendo itself announces more.
