A September Nintendo Direct has occurred nearly yearly over the previous few years, so unsurprisingly one is rumoured for this 12 months
Rumours of a Nintendo Direct set for September 2023 are starting to swirl, with some saying it may very well be as early as subsequent week.
Nintendo Directs have been on a reasonably constant schedule for the reason that launch of the Nintendo Change. Not counting 2020 on the outset of the Covid-19 pandemic, and excluding game-specific directs like final weeks Tremendous Mario Bros. Surprise Nintendo Direct there was a normal Nintendo Direct in February (or early March in 2018’s case), June (normally as part of E3), and September yearly for the reason that newest Nintendo console launched. So it is not a foul shout to imagine we’ll be seeing a Nintendo Direct someday this month.
Brazillian web site Universo Nintendo posted an article (which we’ve translated through Google Translate) claiming that there might be a Nintendo Direct subsequent week. Provided that Nintendo Directs normally land on Wednesdays we will think about that September 13, 2023 would be the date of the brand new Nintendo Direct, though a Wednesday is not a given with some latest ones touchdown on Tuesdays or Thursdays. Whereas it is easy sufficient to make a guess like that primarily based on previous Direct dates, as a person on the r/GamingLeaksAndRumors subreddit factors out, Universo Nintendo has a monitor document of appropriately predicting dates
Universo Nintendo mentions that it’s not positive if it’s going to be a full-blown Nintendo Direct, a mini Direct, or a accomplice showcase. Contemplating Nintendo’s launch schedule for the remainder of the 12 months we may see it being a smaller direct, however given the corporate would not have something introduced for early 2024 we will see a full-blown Direct occurring (no less than we hope so.)
Direct to the purpose
Six years into the Nintendo Change’s lifecycle, and Nintendo is placing out one of many strongest end-of-year lineups the console has ever seen, which nearly seems like a closing hurrah for the system earlier than a possible successor. Regardless of rumours of the Nintendo Change 2 being proven off at Gamescom, I completely do not anticipate the subsequent Nintendo console to be introduced throughout a Nintendo Direct primarily based on the way in which Nintendo has introduced consoles previously. I am curious to see what titles might be introduced for 2024 outdoors of the beforehand confirmed Luigi’s Mansion 2 remake and Princess Peach sport.
Is it lastly time for Nintendo to carry The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and Twilight Princess remasters to the Nintendo Change? To not look into it an excessive amount of, however a Gamecube remaster has been shadow dropped following a Direct each occasions this 12 months with Metroid Prime Remastered in February and Pikmin 1+2 in June. Perhaps I am getting forward of myself however it might be good to see; I might accept Metroid Prime 2 Remastered.
