Surprise! There is an unusually lengthy Nintendo Direct due tomorrow, Wednesday February 17th, at 10pm UK time.

Expect 50 minutes of announcements from Nintendo, detailing Switch games due in the first half of this year.

News of Super Smash Bros. will also be included. Ultimate – Probably the next character in the new Season Pass.

It’s been a long time since the last full Nintendo Direct, making tomorrow especially exciting. With Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury launching worldwide, Nintendo’s release calendar now looks very weak. So what do we expect to hear about for the next six months?

Adjust at 2/17 2 PM PDT to get #NintendoDirect A live broadcast showing close to 50 minutes of information focused on available games like Super #SmashBrosUltimate And the next games #NintendoSwitch In the first half of 2021.https://t.co/fbG3hEtD0Q pic.twitter.com/w8J6lbdIkQ

The biggest question mark is how Nintendo will celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Zelda Series. Mario had loads of games and a controversial limited time collection for his 35th birthday – it only made sense that Nintendo would do the same with Link.

Will you buy the Wind Waker and Twilight Princess again? Likely.

It’s also been a while since we heard more about the series’ upcoming sequel to Breath of the Wild. It would be nice if this was locked to launch in the not-too-distant future.

Join us – we’ll report announcements as they happen.
