Nintendo Direct for Switch 1 Games in March?
According to the discussion, insiders with a reliable track record have hinted at an upcoming Nintendo Direct. While details remain scarce, the event is expected to showcase new content and updates for the original Nintendo Switch. Given that the Switch 2 is on the horizon, this could be one of the last major showcases dedicated to the Switch 1 library.
The Sources Behind the Rumor
Two well-known insiders have fueled the speculation:
- Chinese insider 荷姆荷姆嗼 – This leaker, who previously revealed accurate details about the June Direct on Weibo, made a cryptic post stating that fans shouldn’t worry about waiting 10 more days, adding that “we’ll see a NS1 Direct meeting in 3 days.”
- Previous leaks from this insider: June Direct leaks receipt
- Ninspider – The same user who shared an early drawing of the Switch 2 dock and tablet in October has also hinted at an upcoming Direct before the Switch 2 showcase.
- In a recent post, they mentioned overhearing Nintendo President Furukawa say, “Nintendo will die before Switch 2 die.” When another user speculated about a Direct happening this month, ninspider responded with a “😉.”

Additionally, game journalist Andy Robinson has subtly hinted that something Direct-related will happen before the big Switch 2 presentation. He responded with a “🤔” under a tweet discussing whether Nintendo made the right call in not having more Switch 1 Directs before the Switch 2 showcase.
What to Expect
If the rumor is accurate, the Nintendo Direct could feature:
- Final updates and new releases for the Switch 1
- Possible ports or remasters of classic titles
- A glimpse at games that will remain playable on the older system even after the Switch 2 launches
Nintendo has not officially confirmed the event, so fans should take this information with caution. However, given Nintendo’s history of surprise Direct announcements, it wouldn’t be unusual for news to drop soon.
