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'm interested in what they're going to announce that day. You know it's going to be something Mario related for sure. Maybe some DLC for Mario Kart World? A announcement of a new Mario game? Either way I can't wait!
 
It would make sense that Nintendo celebrate the Mario series because it’s worth it. Being the pioneer and 40 years in the gaming industry is not joke at all. But I think they might want to commemorate with a new collection or some remake of an old game.
 
I just hope they air it later in the day instead of 8AM.
 
The timing sounds exciting! Nintendo has a history of making anniversaries special, and a Direct could set the stage for some iconic announcements. Fingers crossed for something truly memorable! ❤️
 
New Fire Emblem reveal for Switch 2 ! lol Fire emblem engage was revealed on September too back in 2022 lol
 
I think its too soon for that.
yea probably sometime next year on new FE announcement for Switch 2. Though it's already been 3 years since the last Fire Emblem. and Intelligent System's last game was paper mario the thousand year door in 2024.
