Reddit - Dive into anything

A user who would prefer to stay anonymous has reached out to the mod team with proof that a Nintendo Direct is scheduled for the 7th Feburary.
Among this the proof also provided knowledge that there isn't plans for a new/successor to the Switch this year and that Nintendo is only beginning to work closer with Chinese manufacturers
Having looked at the proof first hand and spoken with the other mods we cannot confirm this to be legit, but we also cannot prove that it's false and with the permission of the user that contacted us we wanted to share the (hopefully) good news with you all!
