A new Nintendo Direct is reportedly on the way, scheduled to air sometime this week just before a major event dedicated to the upcoming Switch 2. This has gamers talking with high hopes as they wonder what Nintendo might showcase.
According to insider NateTheHate2, this Direct could happen around Thursday. However, there’s uncertainty about whether it will follow the traditional format or resemble an Indie World Showcase. Adding more intrigue, a Chinese leaker, who previously disclosed details of past presentations accurately, mentioned that there would be a show focused on the original Nintendo Switch “in three days.”
To stop the constant questions:
Yes, I've heard there is a Nintendo presentation this week — I believe it is on/around Thursday & it'll be a Direct; but I'm not 100% certain on the format at present.

This potential presentation may highlight upcoming titles for the current Switch model before shifting focus entirely to its successor during the much-expected April 2 event. With analysts predicting that Switch 2 sales won’t reach those of its predecessor, having two separate showcases allows Nintendo to address both audiences effectively.
As for what could be featured in this week’s rumored Direct, titles like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond are possibilities. More information regarding Pokemon Legends: Z-A might also surface; however, recent reports indicate that a separate Pokemon Presents occurred last month.
Nintendo’s recent releases include Donkey Kong Country Returns HD and Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, which features theories suggesting hidden modes tailored for smoother gameplay on the upcoming console. Such developments create a sense of excitement as players consider their gaming futures.
