I know there are too many rumors because of some gamers' eagerness to get new information about Zelda TOTK, but let's be honest, in January we won't have any kind of event from Nintendo, Fire Emblem is an IP with a growing success and releasing something from Metroid or Zelda during these weeks would be completely overshadowing it.
In February we have games like Octopath 2 and Kirby that although they are important for a small sector, they can be eclipsed without problem by a Nintendo Direct, since one is a Port and the other is a Square Enix game which does not give much profit to Nintendo, on the other hand, we have seen how Kirby's marketing is already starting in their networks and surely Octopath 2 will have its exclusive previews in Nintendo events, so most likely there will be a Direct before February 24, but not in January.
Relax and enjoy Fire Emblem, it's a great franchise that I just started playing and I'm looking forward to keep discovering it.
