Nintendo fans have been eagerly awaiting official news about the Nintendo Switch 2, but it seems that the company is not ready to move on from its current console just yet. A new Nintendo Direct could be happening as soon as this week, according to multiple sources.
Nintendo Continues to Support the Switch
For months, rumors have suggested that Nintendo plans to hold a Direct before unveiling the full details of the Nintendo Switch 2. Originally, insiders believed this presentation would take place in February, but as March progressed, no official announcements were made.
Recently, Twitter user Stealth40k suggested that Nintendo might skip any further Directs before the big Nintendo Switch 2 reveal. However, industry insider Andy Robinson responded with a cryptic thinking-face emoji, implying that this assumption might not be entirely correct.
