Nintendo announces new Switch 2 game showcases

Nintendo typically holds a Direct showcase every September, and this year will be no different. Nintendo has announced plans for back-to-back Direct streams next week, one focused on Zelda, and another for everything else.

The Legend of Zelda turns 40 years old this year. As part of the anniversary celebrations, Nintendo has a remake of The Ocarina of Time coming out for the Switch 2. On top of that, Nintendo is currently working on a Zelda film and there could be a few more surprises to reveal too. The Zelda-focused Direct stream is happening on September 8th at 3PM UK time.

There will be an even longer ‘general' Nintendo Direct stream the next day, on September 9th. This showcase will focus on new third-party and first-party titles coming to Switch 2 over the next six months or so. We will likely get a new trailer for Fire Emblem here, ahead of the game's launch on September 17th.

With Fire Emblem and Ocarina of Time Remake, Nintendo has a busy end to the year ahead. However, there will also be a long list of major third-party games also arriving, including the likes of Final Fantasy Resonance, The Duskbloods, 007 First Light and more.
