Nintendo Direct returns this Friday with new Switch 2 game announcements

In recent weeks, there have been rumours of a new Nintendo Direct showcase brewing. Today, Nintendo officially confirmed its plans, with the next Nintendo Direct now scheduled for the 12th of September. 

The Direct will begin at 6AM PT, which is 2PM here in the UK. Excitingly, this Direct will be much longer than the previous one, going for about an hour.

Obviously, Nintendo has not revealed exactly what it will be announcing, but it will include both Switch 2 and Switch titles. The biggest expectation is a release date for Metroid Prime 4, which is finally releasing this year after a long 8-year wait. A recent error on the Switch 2's Switch Online emulator also revealed the existence of a few more mystery titles for N64.

There is a hope amongst fans that Nintendo will also announce a new wave of upgrades for Switch 1 titles on Switch 2. Currently, Nintendo hasn't released any further patches beyond the 12 from launch.
