"The biggest Nintendo Direct since the launch of the Switch 2 is almost here. After showcases focused on third-party developers and indie games, and one dedicated entirely to Kirby Air Riders, the next Nintendo Direct should finally reveal more about the new console's upcoming first-party slate. While Nintendo hasn't announced everything what it will be showing off during the presentation, rumors and the show's timing do point to some interesting possibilities."
"The next Nintendo Direct is scheduled for September 12 at 9 a.m. Eastern. The show will be around an hour long and feature games for both the Switch 2 and the original Switch. However, there are a few announcements that seem likely. The 40th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros. series is September 13, one day after the announced showcase."
"On the series' 35th anniversary, Nintendo also held a showcase, announcing Super Mario 3D All-Stars and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. However, that showcase was specifically announced as part of the series' anniversary celebration, so it's likely the next Direct won't be entirely themed around Mario. If it follows a similar pattern, though, we could be in for a new Mario title soon and possibly a remaster or bundle of older titles."
A Nintendo Direct is scheduled for September 12 at 9 a.m. Eastern and will run about an hour, showcasing games for both the Switch 2 and the original Switch. The timing falls one day before Super Mario Bros.'s 40th anniversary, creating an opportunity to announce a new Mario game or remastered bundles for the new console. Past anniversary showcases included major Mario releases and bundles. Leaks suggest multiple titles with "seven" in their names could appear, with Final Fantasy 7 Remake/Rebirth and Resident Evil 7 mentioned as possibilities. Nintendo has not confirmed specific reveals or the full lineup.
