SwitchForce Sparks Nintendo Direct Rumors
The buzz initially began when Youtuber SwitchForce claimed that a new Nintendo Direct was set to drop this week. In his first video, he hinted at a “3 phase direct strategy,” speculated that it wouldn’t be a general or game-specific showcase.
He teased the inclusion of third-party titles already announced for other platforms. He also mentioned a possible demo release. While it lacked concrete backing, the video quickly caught traction within rumor circles—though not without a healthy dose of skepticism.
Trusted Insider Responds To Speculation
A day later, SiwtchForce doubled down, releasing a follow-up video reiterating his confidence. This time, he leaned more heavily toward the event being an Indie World showcase—a smaller-scale presentation focused on indie games coming to the Nintendo Switch.
While he offered no new evidence, his persistence kept the rumor alive. However, in a recent and more grounded update, insider NateTheHate—known for his more reliable Nintendo insights—responded to the speculation.

He clarified that he has not heard of a Nintendo Direct scheduled for this week. That said, he also noted that he couldn’t completely rule out an Indie World, simply because it’s not something he has personally investigated.
Given the pattern of Nintendo’s recent communication strategies and the fact that an Indie World would typically receive shorter notice and smaller-scale hype, it’s plausible that such an event could still materialize without Nate catching wind of it early.
But as it stands, the weight of evidence is firmly tipping away from SwitchForce’s claims.
