Here's how you can watch the February 2023 Nintendo Direct.

118

Nintendo Directs are some of the most anticipated events in gaming. We’re set to get our first presentation of the year soon, as the company announced its February 2023 showcase earlier this year. It will likely be full of news and announcements, so if you don’t want to miss it, we’ll show you how to watch the February 2023 Nintendo Direct.

Watch the February 2023 Nintendo Direct here

The Nintendo Direct will take place on February 8, 2023, at 2 p.m. PT/5 p.m. ET. Nintendo will be streaming the presentation on its YouTube channel. After the stream ends, you’ll be able to immediately view the VOD on that same channel. We also expect Nintendo to upload new trailers as individual videos to their channel over the course of the Direct. We'll be streaming our reactions to the Direct over on the Shacknews Twitch channel as part of this week's episode of Retail Therapy.

Nintendo has confirmed that the February 2023 Nintendo Direct will be 40 minutes long. With that, there are sure to be some major reveals and announcements. It will primarily focus on games being released in the first half of 2023, so it’s likely we’ll learn more about The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. We also know that Pikmin 4 is scheduled to come out this year, so perhaps there will be more on that front, too.

We also suspect that Nintendo will have some surprises in store, and we’re curious to see what else will be highlighted during the Direct.

That’s how you can watch the February 2023 Nintendo Direct. If you aren’t able to watch live, be sure to bookmark our Nintendo Direct topic page here on Shacknews, as we’ll be writing up all of the news and announcements out of the event.

              It showed us the art direction and available assets aren't being used to their full potential, but I wouldn't say it shows us that they have middling graphics. It's a bit more nuanced than that. That being said, they could definitely use a new SOC and not just for 3rd party stuff.

        Starting to wonder if we’ll ever get the Metroid Prime trilogy on switch. I still have not played #3. These games are 4 generations old by now (Switch WiiU, Wii, GameCube).

        • reply
          February 8, 2023 1:37 PM

          The last rumor on that was that they were originally going to make MPT for Switch when MP4's development was with its original developer, but when the whole thing reset on handover to Retro Studios, the project changed to being an HD or whatever remaster of just MP1.

          So if that's true then MPT on Switch seems like a stretch, unfortunately.

        • reply
          February 8, 2023 1:43 PM

          I fell off #3 so hard. I wonder if its a situation like Skyward Sword HD where a proper remaster with a redo of some sequences would make the game significantly better.

          It might also be a tone thing though, I really didn't care for how they tried to make MP3 feel more like Halo with all of the other people around.

        • reply
          February 8, 2023 1:55 PM

          I just want the first one remastered. The art is fine. Just 4k 60 with non-waggle and I'll be happy.

          It's like the it was but it isn't? I'm fine with them using the same terrain I guess provided most of everything else is different. We get the sky zones as well.

          Agree on Zelda's voice actor, not the best.

          February 8, 2023 2:49 PM

          It’s kind of sad that Nintendo is so good at so many things and voice acting ain’t one of them. BOTW for as great as it was had shit acting too.

          They also make a lot of bad trailers. Luckily it has nothing to do with the quality of the game, but still.

            They were announcing major hires a year after development restarted. I don't expect it given how long these things take.

            Frigging Luigi's Mansion 3 was supposed to be a Wii U game, its nuts how long some of these things take and how long they can be held up by NCL's standards

      Christ Zelda's terrain looks sparse and LODed to fuck after playing Horizon: Zero Dawn, even on PS4 Pro. I'll still play and enjoy it, and still play my Switch most weeks, but it's seriously showing its age especially for open world games now.

        February 8, 2023 2:47 PM

        Funny, I was thinking it looked surprisingly high res and lacked jaggies. I suspect they've implemented FSR2.

          February 8, 2023 2:48 PM

          That would be nice. Hardly needs repeating that nobody gets more out of their own hardware than Big N, and I am excited for it, but it will basically be like playing a retro game for full price, graphically.

            February 8, 2023 2:54 PM

            I mean, they kept so much of the first game under wraps in 2017, everything was a surprise back then. Starting today would be pretty different since one has probably seen the secondary characters and towns and such just through osmosis. Seeing something like the dragons the first time was just O_O

            I imagine the devs want to do the same here. I bet some of them think that what little they've shown is already too much.

            I think it was Retro yeah. I assume remaking MP1 was part of their R&D while the design team was hashing out MP4, sort of like what happened with the Wind Waker HD remake while they were figuring out BOTW

              February 8, 2023 5:15 PM

              They were doing the MP1 remake before MP4 got assigned back to them.

              The rumor is their work on the remake made Nintendo ask the obvious question of why they weren't just giving it to retro.

          Yeah, it was solid. Top of the curve would be the early 2019 Direct with Mario Maker 2, Tetris 99 shadow drop, Astral Chain (ASTRAL CHAIN), DQ11S, Captain Toad, and Link's Awakening, but this was very good.

          They generally don't announce things until they're pretty close to release so they can be pretty uneven. The last couple were definitely mid
