Major Nintendo Direct Announcement
Nintendo has officially announced a new Direct presentation scheduled for Friday, September 12, 2025, which will air at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM in the UK / 3 PM in Europe.
The highly anticipated event will run for approximately 60 minutes, covering games for both Nintendo Switch and the new Switch 2 platforms. This marks a significant milestone as the first general Nintendo Direct of the Switch 2 era, following earlier partner-focused showcases.
Anticipated Game Reveals
The presentation is expected to showcase several major titles, including Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Kirby Air Riders, and Pokémon Legends: Z-A, along with upcoming releases like Rhythm Heaven Groove and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream.
Gaming fans are also anticipating release dates for notable third-party titles such as Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade and Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition.
Mario’s 40th Anniversary Celebration
The timing of this Direct carries special significance as September 13 marks the 40th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros. series, which debuted in 1985. As Mario has been Nintendo’s flagship character for nearly four decades, the company is expected to make substantial announcements regarding the franchise.
Future of Gaming
The presentation is expected to include announcements for upcoming Switch 2 games, remakes of classic Sega titles like Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio, and potential new collaborations and crossovers within the Nintendo ecosystem. Viewers can look forward to release dates, gameplay footage, and in-depth trailers for both Switch and Switch 2 games during the live stream.
