A Nintendo Direct showcase is reportedly scheduled to air next month.

That's according to multiple anonymous sources who told VGC that the next Nintendo presentation is planned for mid-September, specifically September
12, though the details of what to expect are still under wraps.

A Nintendo content creator, 'SwitchForce', also shared a post on X / Twitter
, hinting that a Direct will air on the same date, writing: "Nintendo tried
to phone in an emergency about the missing Switch 2 games, but they accidentally dialed 912."

It wouldn't be unusual for a new Direct to be held next month since, aside from 2024, one has been held every year since Nintendo's presentations kicked off.

This mid-September showcase would also arrive just in time for Super Mario Bros. ' 40th anniversary, which is on September 13.

The fact that a Direct is rumored to be taking place so close to Mario's birthday would be the perfect opportunity for Nintendo to announce the next Super Mario Bros. game for Switch 2 , or even a potential remake of an
earlier entry in the series.

There's also the matter of other major Switch games that have to receive release dates, namely Metroid Prime 4: Beyond . The game was announced in 2017, but was later rebooted as a new project in 2019 under Retro Studios.

The last we saw of the game was in June 2024, with a gameplay trailer and confirmation of a 2025 launch window for Nintendo Switch . Here's hoping the rumored Direct will offer a firm release date and perhaps even announcement
of a Switch 2 version. You might also like... Here are the three biggest things we learned from the Hollow Knight: Silksong release date trailer Everything announced at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 from the Sekiro
