This [Developer_Direct] is the first one of these events we're getting from these companies in 2024. It is the one I heard that was coming up the fastest but you can always count on a Nintendo Direct in February. It is almost certainly going to happen in February, again. That leaves the question about a State of Play. There is a State of Play coming. There's a State of Play coming. When exactly? Not sure, but I'd expect it in the text few weeks. State of Plays are always weird man. You always get the sense that these are just contractual obligations. They (Playstation) just told a company that they'd give them free marketing so they fill a need and have to do it. So, they could be disappointing.

State of Play this month in partnership with Xbox

 

[BennyBlanco]

Will this be the direct where they show Super Switch and the software lineup for a fall launch? My body is ready

I'm with Grubb on this one

If you have a PS it's better to watch Nintendo Direct for the indies announcements and Xbox Direct since they are now 3rd party (/jk)

 

[Hudo]

Will this be the direct where they show Super Switch and the software lineup for a fall launch? My body is ready

I think they will make a separate event to announce new hardware.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

If there is one, I conservatively expect to see deep dives for:
Granblue Fantasy: Relink
Helldivers 2
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Maybe Stellar Blade
Couple of indies

Edit:
Forgot Suicide Squad

Obviously there will be Nintendo Directs and State of Plays, Nintendo and Sony won't stop making them and the previous ones were made long ago.

If there is one, I conservatively expect to see deep dives for:
Granblue Fantasy: Relink
Helldivers 2
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Maybe Stellar Blade
Couple of indies

Make sure they'll put there TLOUP2 remastered and the HFW PC port.

Regarding Stellar Blade, I think it will be released in Summer or Fall, and in this case they'll wait some time to show it again, and meanwhile they'll focus on marketing games to be released sooner.

I have a feeling they are going to announce the Switch 2 (or what ever they decide to call it) before the end March, that is when the Nintendo Museum is supposed to be finished and I am sure there is going to be a spot for their latest and greatest console at the museum.

[Ar¢tos]

Oh boy!
Another 15 min of Suicide Squad and 5 min of Helldivers...
Can't wait for it.....

 

[Woopah]

I wouldn't be surprised to see a Direct Mini in Feb, then a full Switch 2 reveal in March.
