With yesterday’s Legend of Zelda Direct in the bag, it’s time to take a broader look at what’s coming to Switch consoles with the September Nintendo Direct. Yesterday’s broadcast was mostly focused on the upcoming remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, but today, we’re expecting to see a whole lot more than just the hero in green. In case you can’t make it, we’ll be covering each new announcement and trailer as they drop, so keep on scrolling to see all the reveals and hit your F5 key to refresh your feed as we dive into what should be a massive Nintendo Direct presentation.

Nintendo Direct start time
Hope you’re in the mood to start your day bright and early, as the broadcast starts at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET on September 9. Nintendo says the show will run for roughly 45 minutes, and it’ll be followed by a Nintendo Treehouse livestream that’ll feature gameplay from select titles.

What to expect
That’s the big question, isn’t it? As you’d expect, Nintendo is keeping quiet ahead of the Direct, but we’re expecting the usual first-party games, upcoming titles from third-party partners, and related news.
According to leakers, we could be in for a bumper reveal of Switch exclusives, as they’re teasing a new Super Smash Bros. fighting game, a brand-new Star Fox, and a new 3D Mario to end the broadcast with a bang. Nintendo may need to pull a few heavy hitters out, considering that the Switch 2 price increased by $50 earlier this month, and having a stacked selection of upcoming games could be just what the company needs to start shifting units.
Could we also get a new look at Pokemon Winds and Waves? Pokemon continues to be one of the biggest franchises on Nintendo hardware, and we wouldn’t say no to a quick look at the game’s region or even a few new pocket monsters.
