According to a Nintendo insider that goes by the name Samus Hunter, a new Direct isn't slated to take place this coming week. In recent days, some rumors have started to circle on the internet suggesting that a new Direct, specifically focused on indie titles, would be happening on March 23rd. Based on what Samus Hunter claims to know, though, this rumor won't be coming to fruition, notably, because Nintendo wants to place a focus on its latest Switch release Kirby and the Forgotten Land on this date.
I see rumor about an Indie World on the 23th... it's too soon and that day will be dedicated to Kirby and the Forgotten Land Review

Perhaps the other most interesting thing about Samus Hunter's recent message in regard to these rumors is that they also claim that it's "too soon" for another Direct to be taking place. Based on how Nintendo has operated in previous years, this would make a fair amount of sense. Normally, Nintendo holds its "Indie World" presentations in relation to events like PAX, which means that we could see one of these broadcasts coming about next month. When it comes to the next, large-scale Nintendo Direct, though, we might have to wait until a time later this summer. Again, none of this is necessarily official just yet, but it seems likely that this is how 2022 could play out.
