The latest Nintendo Direct's graphics change has got Switch 2 hopefuls expecting some kind of announcement soon

The latest Nintendo Direct featured a slight change to its graphics, and Switch 2 hopefuls think it could mean an announcement is on the way soon.

As highlighted by Twitter user @ActualAero, this week's Nintendo Partner Direct featured a very slight change to its opening and transition graphics. As you'll see from the side-by-side comparison below, there were a few subtle differences between the latest presentation and the ones that came before it during the Nintendo Switch generation. 

It's important to remember that Nintendo hosts a variety of virtual events each year, including a standard Nintendo Direct, a partner showcase, Indie World, and ones that are dedicated to specific Nintendo titles like Pokemon, Animal Crossing, The Legend of Zelda, and more. Basically, they do differ slightly, so this small change might not mean much on its own. 

Did anyone else notice today's Nintendo Direct had a completely new sleek look & animations compared to the Directs we've had for the last few years?Here's a comparison below. I really do think this is gonna be a new era of Directs for a new generation with the Switch 2 soon
