Nintendo Direct Date Released: How To Watch And What's New For 2021
For those who have long anticipated a Nintendo Direct update from the gaming company, your wait is up because a date for the showing has finally been revealed.
Nintendo announced Tuesday that the free presentation will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 17, at 5 p.m. ET (2 p.m. PT).
The presentation will be around 50 minutes long, the company said. Previous versions of Ninetendo Direct were considerably shorter.

This presentation will share what games are to come in 2021 and updates on games that have already been reported to be released.
Details about what exactly to expect have been spacey, but what the company has already announced includes two new Nintendo Switch games -- “Monster Hunter Rise” coming in March and “Pokémon Snap” in April, Polygon reported.
Other games, including “Bayonetta 3,” “Metroid Prime 4” and “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2,” are already in the works in the Nintendo world.
The move comes after Nintendo fans discovered hidden content in the popular game "Among Us" last week. There was no word whether the company will address that issue on Wednesday.
Many gaming fans are excited because this is the first Nintendo Direct since 2019.
