Nintendo has announced a new Nintendo Direct scheduled for February 5, 2026, at 3 p.m., lasting approximately 30 minutes. This presentation will focus exclusively on upcoming titles for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. Fans can tune in live via the Nintendo Direct portal or on Nintendo France’s YouTube channel. As with previous editions, the event will showcase the latest releases and future plans for the consoles.
Regarding this Nintendo Direct, the primary goal is to showcase upcoming releases for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. The presentation will highlight the latest titles in development by partner studios. The format remains traditional, with a 30-minute runtime, featuring a handful of trailers—covering both new game announcements and previously teased titles.
So, what kind of content can we expect? Although no specific details have leaked so far about the showcased titles, we can make a few educated guesses: a long-awaited return from the shadows, Professor Layton and the New World of Steam, might finally make an appearance, especially since its release is still scheduled for this year. There’s also hope for updates on Elden Ring, Lego Batman: The Dark Knight, 007 First Light, or The Duskblood. Additionally, ports of Wii U titles that haven’t yet been released on Switch remain strong candidates for upcoming announcements.
