"As has been much rumored over the last couple of weeks, a Nintendo Direct has now been officially confirmed for September 12. That's Friday this week, if you've lost track of your calendar. It's timed to fall the day before Mario's 40th birthday, so it seems likely that'll be at least part of the focus. Of course, there's also a lot of expectation around Metroid Prime 4."
"As for what will be revealed, as ever we have very little idea (although expect the reliable leakers to know at some point tomorrow). Obviously what everyone wants to hear is news on a follow-up to Switch launch game Super Mario Odyssey, but given the team behind it was responsible for the just-released Donkey Kong Bananza, that doesn't seem enormously likely."
A Nintendo Direct has been scheduled for September 12, the day before Mario's 40th birthday. The timing suggests Mario anniversary content could feature alongside expectations for Metroid Prime 4. The birthday falls on Saturday, so Nintendo chose Friday to avoid weekend and the problematic September 11 on Thursday. Announcement timing reflects sensitivity to associations with that date and Nintendo's usual Thursday preference. Speculation centers on a Super Mario sequel to Super Mario Odyssey, though the Odyssey team's involvement is uncertain after Donkey Kong Bananza. Nintendo's secrecy leaves room for remasters, a new 2D Mario, or other franchise reveals.
