Nintendo has confirmed a new Nintendo Direct presentation set for Friday, September 12, 2025, at 6 AM PT (9 AM ET). The event will last about 60 minutes, making it one of the longest Directs in recent years, and will focus on upcoming games for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
The announcement came through Nintendo, exciting fans who have been waiting for big game news. The showcase is timed just before the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. on September 13, hinting at possible Mario-related announcements, such as a new 3D platformer or remastered classics.
Fans can expect updates on games like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and Kirby Air Riders, all planned for 2025. Other titles, like Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment and Splatoon Raiders, might get release dates or new details. There’s also talk of third-party games, such as The Duskbloods from FromSoftware, and potential surprises for 2026 Switch 2 games.
The hour-long runtime is longer than most Nintendo Directs, which typically last 40–45 minutes, suggesting a packed lineup. You can watch the event live on Nintendo’s YouTube and Twitch channels or through the Nintendo Today app. Fans are buzzing with excitement, especially with the Switch 2’s growing game library and the Mario milestone.
