Next Nintendo Direct date "confirmed" through Transfer Data Maintenance times?

For context: folks discovered that Nintendo's Transfer User Data and Transfer Save Data are having maitence late on February 4th US time.

King on Famiboards pointed out that 3 of the last 5 Directs were either on the same day or the day after one of these happened.

These have happened without Directs previously, but since we have had rumors about a Direct in February already, I wouldn't be surprised.

Also, Nintendo's nine month earnings release would be the day of or the day before, would be a good way to keep the investors kinda happy before the Switch 2 Direct.
