Summary
The rumored February 2025NintendoDirectis still happening, according to a prominent leaker. With the month halfway over and still no official word fromNintendo, 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 thatthe 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.
On February 15, Famiboards user PH Brazil claimedhis source confirmed that a February Direct was still comingin a thread about the rumored presentation. Notably, PH Brazil is the leaker who initiallyclaimed the next Nintendo Direct would fall in Februarya month ago, though at the time, he offered no details other than the month. He also correctly predicted the August 2024 presentation, when Nintendo announcedCivilization 7would get a day-one launch on the Switch and thatPizza Towerwas 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 sourcesconfirmed 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.
