Nintendo Direct February 2022: What to Expect

A Nintendo Direct event this February brings on a lot of expectations if it were to happen, and this is courtesy of the many leaks and speculations behind the rumors. NateTheHate's reach made sure that these new games from Nintendo will have a highlight, being one controversial Direct event from the company.

NateTheHate's report puts a lot on Nintendo's plate, especially with what people have to expect on the next Direct event from the company. Despite not taking place in February, people will still expect on its future events for the many speculated titles in the list from the YouTuber. 

Sequels for these popular franchises will allegedly come and are under development, thereby putting more pressure for Nintendo. 

Nintendo's Popularity Now

Nintendo is a popular name in the gaming industry now, but what it is also famous for is that it dispels rumors as soon as it starts. Despite Nintendo clamming up whenever leaks or speculations surround them, they sometimes dispel these by providing a comment or denying its existence for the said game or even its next-gen console.

However, the success of Nintendo is not because of its games and offers, but it is with the discipline of the company and its dedication to bringing these games despite its bizarre and out-of-this-world plot. The creative games include that of the "Mario" franchise, "Splatoon," "Metroid," "Kingdom Hearts," "Animal Crossing," and more.

Despite being a rumor, a Nintendo Direct early in the year may be possible, but that is up for the Japanese conglomerate to decide on and pursue. Nevertheless, these titles are what people expect now, especially with the many offers for the Switch device that the world focuses on and aims to have for this year.

The expectations grow for Nintendo and its delivery of games for 2022.
