The next Nintendo Direct event has been announced, and it's coming very soon. Nintendo has confirmed the next Direct will take place Wednesday, February 9, starting at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET.

This showcase will run for about 40 minutes--so it's a pretty big one--and it'll have news "mainly" focused on Nintendo Switch games launching in the first half of 2022. The "mainly" part suggests the briefing might also have some news about games launching during different time frames. GameSpot will report back with all the news as the event unfolds.

As usual, you'll presumably be able to watch the showcase in all the normal places: YouTube and Twitch, as well as here on GameSpot. Nintendo gave no indications or teases for what to expect from the February 9 Nintendo Direct, but let us know in the comments below what you hope to see.
