After weeks of rumors and speculation, Nintendo has officially announced that it will be hosting a Nintendo Direct on February 8th, 2023, at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET. For those keeping count, that’s tomorrow!
This direct will run for “roughly 40 minutes” and will be focused on Nintendo Switch games that will be released in Q1 and Q2 2023. Everyone will be able to watch the direct on Nintendo’s YouTube channel.
Tune in at 2 p.m. PST tomorrow, Feb. 8, for a #NintendoDirect livestream featuring roughly 40 minutes of information mostly focused on #NintendoSwitch games launching in the first half of 2023.

As for what those games could be, that’s an interesting question, as Nintendo doesn’t have a stacked year. We already know that Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe is releasing on February 24th, while Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon, Dredge, and MLB The Show 2023 take us through March 2023.
However, there are a few more, and one significant title with a release date of May 12, 2023 – The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I’d imagine we’re going to hear a lot about the latter. There are also several rumors about Advance Wars 1 + 2 Reboot Camp making the rounds. Could we see this during the event? We’ll have to wait and see, as the Nintendo Direct is one day away.
