Rumours are circulating that another Nintendo Direct could be set for this week focusing on games coming to the original Nintendo Switch. This is in addition to the Nintendo Switch 2 focused Nintendo Direct that is happening next week.
The rumors started on Weibo with a user (that has been known for correctly leaking Directs in the past) claiming that a Nintendo Direct would be coming on March 26th (likely 27th in Australia). This was then backed up by another user on the Famiboards that has leaked Switch 2 information that turned out to be correct.
To stop the constant questions:
Yes, I've heard there is a Nintendo presentation this week — I believe it is on/around Thursday & it'll be a Direct; but I'm not 100% certain on the format at present.

Whilst there is good reason to be skeptical based on these two reports, NateTheHate2 (who correctly leaked the original Switch 2 announcement date), has said that he has heard about a Nintendo presentation happening this week on or around Thursday and that it will be a Direct.
“To stop the constant questions: Yes, I’ve heard there is a Nintendo presentation this week — I believe it is on/around Thursday & it’ll be a Direct; but I’m not 100% certain on the format at present.” said NateTheHate 2.
Regardless of whether there does end up being a second Nintendo Direct this week, the hype train has absolutely left the station as we’re just over a week away from the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal, so any extra game reveals that we get before then would just be the icing on top.
Whilst we’ll keep you posted if there is a second Nintendo Direct happening this week, all of the Switch 2 Australian Direct times can be found below:
