A Nintendo Direct is reportedly on the way, and it'll be taking place mid-September.

The claim originally came from SwitchForce over on X (formerly Twitter), but VGC has also heard from multiple sources that a presentation is planned for 12th September. If that's the case, it'll be taking place the day before the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros.

The 12th is a Friday, which is a bit of an unusual day for a Direct, but Nintendo has previously held presentations on the last working day of the week, with the most-recent being an Animal Crossing: New Horizons-focused one in 2021. Others have looked at Super Nintendo World (2020), the Wii U, and a bigger general Direct in 2013.

Plus, besides 2024, Nintendo has held a Direct in September every single year, except last year. So a Direct in September is almost expected. Of course, as always, none of this is confirmed until Nintendo says anything, so remember that healthy pinch of salt!

 
I just hope they air it later in the day instead of 8AM.
