Not much has been given in the way of specifics, but at least this debunks the earlier rumor that the first Nintendo Direct of the year would be Super Smash Bros. Ultimate-related. Whether the team reveals new games or additions to previously released entries, it’ll be interesting to see what Nintendo has in store.

As for Pokemon Sword and Shield, it will be interesting to learn more about the latest entry into this beloved franchise, especially with its different playstyle and even more adorable little pocket monsters. It’s also possible we will see more of the Pokemon Edition Nintendo Switch Lite on the way, perhaps even a new one altogether. We’ll learn soon enough!
