This February 2022 presentation marks the first mainline Nintendo Direct in quite some time. The last one appeared on September 23, 2021. Since then, there've been other presentations, like an Animal Crossing-focused Direct and an Indie World Showcase. However, February Directs are quite common. There was one in February 2021 too.
The February 9, 2022 Nintendo Direct will appear at 2pm PT/5pm ET/11pm CET.
