Nintendo Direct Mini - January 2018 | Nintendo Switch News | NintendoReporters

 [![Nintendo Direct Mini – January 2018](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/nintendo-direct-mini-januari-2018.jpg "Nintendo Direct Mini – January 2018")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/nintendo-direct-mini-januari-2018.jpg)It had been a rumor, but today Nintendo held a Nintendo Direct Mini without any further notice really. No, you read that right … MINI. Keep that thought in your mind for a moment.

Perhaps the reason for not expressing the fact that a Nintendo Direct was coming has to do with the choice that they went for the MINI variant. But there is still nothing officially announced about the reason
