First Nintendo Direct of 2022 coming this week
Nintendo is ready to show off around 40 minutes of new gameplay in a new presentation this week.
As we get further into the gaming year, we were bound to hear something from Nintendo regarding the latest games coming to its catalogue. The Nintendo Switch is still running strong and the publisher shows no signs of slowing down. With that in mind, it was only a matter of time before we learned of when the next Nintendo Direct presentation would be. Fortunately, the wait is over. The next one is coming this week.
Nintendo announced its first Nintendo Direct presentation of 2022 on the Nintendo Twitter on February 8, 2022. Coming on February 9, 2022 at 2 p.m. PT / 5 p.m. ET on the Nintendo YouTube channel, Nintendo has announced that it will be showing off about 40 minutes worth of new information on games that are specifically set to launch in the first half of 2022. Some of it may possibly be new details on games we’ve heard of already, but Nintendo is also known for making surprise announcements. We could see a game or two come out of nowhere with a release date set anywhere from the same day to just weeks out.
Tune in 2/9 at 2 p.m. PT for a #NintendoDirect livestream featuring roughly 40 minutes of information mainly focused on #NintendoSwitch games launching in the first half of 2022.

Regardless, it’s exciting to see news from Nintendo coming into the middle of February. Many were speculating on when the company would have its next presentation after a pretty solid 2021 that included the announcement and launch of Metroid Dread to high praise and, perhaps more importantly, good sales. Other solid titles announced and released last year included WarioWare: Get it Together! and Mario Party Superstars.
Meanwhile, we still have a lot to expect out of the Nintendo Switch. Games like the Breath of the Wild sequel, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and Triangle Strategy already have our attention this year. It will be interesting to see what else Nintendo has up its sleeve as the latest Nintendo Direct presentation goes live this week. Stay tuned for all announcements from it here at Shacknews.

I've read some industry speculation that some kind of newer hardware could be planned for this holiday. No one is willing to go on record if it's Pro that was supposed to hit last year. Chip shortage is wrecking their original plans. I'm pretty sure it's not the full Switch 2.0. Nintendo has officially said they're happy with the current system and it's got a good deal of life left.
At this point I'm not as sure if the Pro (not the 2) would be the step up we've been wanting. With the delays it's hard to predict if they'll just push the features to the 2.0 and ride out the current stuff for a bit longer. Honestly, they should. Except for the need to recover R&D costs, in terms of market performance, they're in a really strong position.

People have a weird aversion to full-price 2d games, even if they're incredible.
Like they think it's easier to make one so it should cost $20!

This fact won't stop gamers from freaking out tomorrow when they don't announce anything past Q2.
