Are you a Nintendo fan? Have you imagined what if Nintendo is about to drop one of the most anticipated Directs? Excited and curious? You're not alone in this. Many hardcore gamers currently keep calm about this trending news revealed by BeeFuN, the renowned French journalist. 

 

The leak ignited significant speculation across social media platforms, especially Reddit and YouTube, where players are curious to know the reality. If you too want to know what the actual truth is behind the claims of French journalist 'BeeFuN', this blog is a must-read. 

What’s the Rumor? 

Leaks indicated that BeeFuN claimed that the Nintendo Direct is planned for a February 10, 2026, release. His claim includes a brand-new Super Mario title that has created a massive buzz about what can happen next. However, if you notice the date carefully, then you will understand that it aligns with Nintendo's traditional patterns of releasing titles in February. 

 

Since the leaker suggested that the event would be a major showcase and not a minor update, the news did not take long to create more speculation in the gaming community. 

The Reality That Players Should Know

Well, the ultimate truth is that the news is a rumor, but do you know why Nintendo fans are way too excited? Credible sources like OpenCritic highlighted that a Nintendo insider, "Nate the Hate," expressed that he has "nothing to share". This comment by an insider didn't confirm anything, but since he didn't deny the claim makes it more authoritative that something big is brewing. 

 

Whatever the leak says, the reality remains that Nintendo has already hinted at the early 2026 release for the Switch 2 with major titles following in the queue, like Resident Evil Requiem.

 

Many users on social media, especially Reddit, criticized BeeFuN by saying : 

“BeeFuN is one of the worst french ‘leaker’, always wrong, but a Direct in February is a (really) safe bet.”

“He’s not a journalist. He’s an opportunist. When you see his username, steer clear.”

Some Reddit users shared neutral (more positive) comments like given below regarding the launch time. 

“Like, a February direct is as good as guaranteed judging by earlier years, but the 10th is on a Tuesday, and Nintendo tend to have directs on Thursdays so I am not too sure.”

What Gamers Should Expect Now? 

Throughout the buzz, fans should note that plans can change anytime, so they should not set unrealistic expectations and remember that these leaks do not always turn out to be true. Noticing the current situation, players should expect a pin-drop silence from Nintendo, as if it says something, it will again lead to more speculations. If the BeeFuN rumor is real, the gaming tycoon will soon release official announcements, like teasers, usually, it does. 

 

Until Nintendo confirms anything like that, players should rely on their official website and social media platforms for official news. Gamers awaiting new Nintendo titles should be ready for surprises, as Nintendo likes to shock its audience with big announcements without any early hints. 

The Final Words

Currently, the gaming community is confused about whether to trust or avoid BeeFuN's claims. Regarding this matter, the primary reasons that made players too curious about the reality are the insider's "nothing to share" comment, which neither approves nor denies the claim. 

 

Complete silence of Nintendo in this matter has sparked speculations, making it challenging for long-time gamers to differentiate truth from false hype. If you are getting such rumors, don't entirely rely on them until Nintendo finally approves.
