Nintendo just officially announced another Direct showcase for this week

  • On Thursday, January 29, 2026 Nintendo will broadcast a 20-minute presentation on Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream at 2pm GMT, following the Super Mario Galaxy Movie Nintendo Direct.
  • The sequel's Japan popularity and Nintendo's marketing push explain the standalone showcase, as Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream follows the 2013 original with Miis management.
  • No other titles are listed, and the game's logo appears in the YouTube thumbnail, suggesting the Nintendo Direct is a dedicated showcase rather than a broad presentation, leaving some fans wanting more.
  • The Direct is likely to deliver a specific release date for Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream's planned Q2 2026 release, while NateTheHate says the first general Nintendo Direct will be in the first week of February.
  • Given past dates like February 8 and 9, Nintendo traditionally holds a Nintendo Direct in February, with last year’s schedule altered by the Switch 2 launch.
