Nintendo Direct reportedly scheduled for week of Super Mario Bros anniversary

Fans have been eagerly awaiting more for more information on upcoming first-party Nintendo games like Metroid Prime 4. It sounds like Nintendo will finally be lifting the curtain on a few new games in September, as reports claim another Nintendo Direct is scheduled. 

Sources speaking with VGC have claimed that a new Nintendo Direct stream will take place in mid-September. More importantly, it is also scheduled for the same week as the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros.

Switch Direct

This upcoming Nintendo Direct should also serve as a platform to announce the release date for Metroid Prime 4. First announced for the Switch 1 in 2017, Metroid Prime 4 is now finally ready to release and now, it will also be a major title for the Switch 2's first-year library.

Fans are also eagerly hoping to see more news on older Switch 1 exclusives getting updates for the Switch 2, increasing resolutions and frame rates to more acceptable levels. Major Switch 1 exclusives like the Xenoblade Chronicles trilogy, the Fire Emblem games, Astral Chain and Bayonetta 3 are some of the first ones that spring to my mind.
