Rumors suggest the first Nintendo Direct of 2026 is coming soon, potentially as early as February. Last year’s first Direct didn’t happen until late March, but that was because it included the reveal of the new Switch 2 console. Typically, Nintendo holds its first Direct presentation in February – that was the pattern from 2019 to 2024, with one event happening as early as February 8th. So, a February Direct in 2026 would follow the usual schedule, and a specific date is now circulating online.
A French journalist named BeeFuN is reporting that a major Nintendo Direct presentation is scheduled for Tuesday, February 10th. According to this source, the presentation will reveal a new 3D Mario game – similar in style to titles like Super Mario Odyssey and Super Mario 64.
Another Nintendo Insider Comments
A recent leak caught the attention of Nate the Hate, a trusted source for Nintendo news. While he hasn’t confirmed the leak’s accuracy, his reaction is notable. Unlike previous false rumors, he didn’t dismiss it outright. Instead, he simply stated he has no information to share right now, which has led some to believe the leak might be genuine.
Keep in mind that this information shouldn’t be taken as official. Even if it’s currently accurate, things can change. Nintendo Direct dates are especially prone to shifting, because coordinating everyone involved is tricky and doesn’t always go as planned.
Nintendo hasn’t officially responded to this rumor, and we don’t anticipate they will. However, we’ll update this article if that changes. In the meantime, we’d love to hear your thoughts – feel free to leave a comment or join the discussion on the ComicBook Forum.
