It's time for the next Nintendo Direct, which means it's also time to dust off that bingo card of Nintendo-related announcements. This 40-minute presentation airs Wednesday, Feb. 9 at 5 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. PT, and there are, frankly, so many games we hope to see. Maybe Hollow Knight:Silksong will make its long-awaited return with a release date in tow, or maybe we'll get more gameplay footage from Bayonette 3 .
Nintendo has plenty of other great games slated for release in 2022 that could see the light of day in this presentation. Games like Triangular Strategy , Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Advance Wars 1+2:Re-Boot Camp will likely get a mention, as they will be released in the next few months. But it would be nice to have some more details (and maybe an official name) for the sequel to The Legend of Zelda:Breath of the Wild . It made a stunning appearance at E3 2021, and we're excited to see more of it. Splaton 3 also has a 2022 release date.
Fingers always crossed for any news on Metroid Premier 4, but it's already been nearly five years since its initial announcement (and three years since its troubled development was restarted), so what's another year?
This Nintendo Direct, like all of Nintendo's pre-recorded streams, will be available to watch on a few platforms, including YouTube, Tic, and Twitter. For your convenience, we've embedded the YouTube link at the top of this article, and it will begin promptly at the event start time (5 p.m. ET on Wednesday, February 9).
