## [](#what-to-expect)What to expect

It will last around 40 minutes and will be “mostly” focused on Nintendo Switch titles that will be released in the first half of 2022.

While no particular titles were named, Kirby and the Forgotten Land is set to be released on March 25 and will almost certainly be included. Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, Bayonetta 3, Splatoon 3, and the sequel to Breath of the Wild are some of the other games that have been revealed for 2022. (which was mentioned by a Nintendo financial report just a few days ago to still be targeted for 2022).

Notably, Nintendo had a similar Direct around this time last year that was “mostly” focused on titles coming out in 2021, which may give us a hint of what to anticipate this time around. It included a good mix of first- and third-party Switch titles, and it closed with the announcement of Splatoon 3 for this year, implying that there might be another huge surprise release at the conclusion of this Direct.

Lets’ all check it out together;
