After just getting a dedicated showcase for Super Mario Bros. Wonder a couple weeks ago alongside the debut of the Mario Red OLED console (pre-orders now live), Nintendo is now ready to stream the next Direct presentation loaded with upcoming Switch games. As we detailed yesterday, Nintendo is set to broadcast its usual pre-fall/end of summer Direct stream this morning and it all starts very soon. Head below to follow along and watch today’s show.
Nintendo Direct September 2023
Today’s Nintendo Direct will showcase “roughly 40 minutes” of games releasing for Nintendo Switch this winter, according to yesterday’s announcement tweet.
While we already got the details on Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Nintendo’s 2023 slate still includes the Super Mario RPG remake as well as Sonic Superstars (this one is multi-platform though), Detective Pikachu Returns, and WarioWare: Move It!. We did already catch glimpses of these titles back during the summer Direct, but we might very well get another look here today. As for what’s new, it’s anybody’s guess at this point. Finally some details on Metroid Prime 4? The rumored Zelda and Metroid remakes? Only time will tell now.
The mysterious Princess Peach platformer Nintendo teased previously isn’t due out until 2024, much like the remake of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon.
Follow along with today’s Nintendo Direct presentation below starting at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET and be sure to swing back around after the presentation for full-res video of each announcement from the show.
Tune in on Sept. 14 at 7 a.m. PT for a Nintendo Direct livestream featuring roughly 40 minutes of information focused on Nintendo Switch games releasing this winter.
