How to Watch Nintendo's Big 40 Minutes Direct

It's time for the next Nintendo Direct, which means it's also time to dust off that bingo card of Nintendo-related announcements. The 40-minute presentation airs on Wednesday, February 9 at 5 pm. ET/2PM PT, and frankly, there are a lot of games we look forward to seeing. Maybe Hollow Knight: Silksong will make its anticipated return with a release date in tow, or maybe we'll get some more gameplay footage from Bayonetta 3.

There are several other Nintendo big games coming out in 2022 that could make headlines in this presentation. Games like Triangle Strategy, Kirby and the Forgotten Lands, and Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp are likely to be mentioned, as they are releasing over the next few months. But it would be great to get some more details (and maybe an official name) for the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It worked great at E3 2021 and we're excited to see more. Splatoon 3 also has a 2022 release date.

I'm always keeping my fingers crossed for any news on Metroid Prime 4, but it's been almost five years since its original announcement (and three years since its troubled development), so what's another year? Is?

Where can I watch Nintendo Live?
