A busy year for Nintendo continues with its latest Direct livestream. And it’s a big one: Nintendo says to expect around an hour of news and announcements for games coming to the Switch 2.
For the first time in a recent memory, Silksong isn’t the major focus of attention. But following the launch of Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, there are still a handful of major titles hitting the console this year, including Kirby Air Riders (which we just learned a bunch about), Pokémon Legends: Z-A (which is shaping up well), and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (which still doesn’t have a release date).
So you can likely expect more on all or most of those heavy-hitters. But given the lengthy runtime, there should be plenty of surprises in store from Nintendo as well. Stay tuned here for the most important developments as they happen.

A whole new galaxy.
Well, not new exactly. But Nintendo announced that the classic 3D platforming games will both be making their way to the Switch (and Switch 2) with a bundled release launching on October 2nd. Perfect to get prepped for the upcoming Galaxy movie.

Switch, too.
Nintendo has decided to give us all a welcome break from doomscrolling with its latest Direct livestream, which is happening very soon at 9AM ET. It’ll last around an hour, and you can watch it either via the YouTube embed below, or through Nintendo’s news app.

Fall into another Nintendo Direct.So soon after the Kirby Air Riders Direct, Nintendo has announced yet another presentation for Friday, September 12th at 9 AM ET, which will last around an hour. I think its safe to expect more info on Metroid Prime 4: Beyond or something celebrating the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros which launched on September 13th, 1985. Feel old yet?
