Insider offers additional details on upcoming Nintendo Direct

With many of the Switch 2’s launch window titles now being out and available for all to enjoy, fans have started to wonder what’s next for Nintendo and its current-gen console. Though yet to be officially announced, additional insiders have now corroborated previous rumours claiming that Nintendo is set to host a Direct sometime this month.

A couple weeks ago, the publication VGC claimed that Nintendo is planning to host a Direct showcase sometime in “mid-September” – around the same time as Mario’s 40th anniversary.

Corroborating these rumours, known insider NateDrake (NateTheHate) has since taken to Twitter to say: “Yes, there is a Nintendo Direct in September. When: The second week of the month, in the latter half on or around Sept 11 or 12th.”

No further additional details were shared, neither regarding the direct itself nor Mario’s 40th anniversary. That said, Nintendo has historically hosted a Direct showcase during September and so this ‘unofficial’ confirmation does not come as too big of a surprise.

Aside from last year, Nintendo’s September Directs have typically been pretty large affairs, with the console maker using the presentation as an opportunity to show off many of its upcoming first-party titles.

Whether the upcoming Direct will be a general one, or a partner showcase, is currently unknown. That said, considering we’ve had Partner Showcases, Indie World Presentations and even a Pokemon Presents since the Switch 2’s launch, a mainline General Direct is certainly due its time.
