Nintendo has announced a new Nintendo Direct presentation scheduled for September 9th, commencing at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET. The broadcast is slated to run for approximately 45 minutes and will be followed by a Nintendo Treehouse livestream featuring gameplay demonstrations.
While Nintendo remains tight-lipped about the specifics, the company typically uses these presentations to unveil upcoming first-party games and highlight titles from third-party partners. Speculation, fueled by leakers, suggests the Direct could feature significant announcements for the Nintendo Switch, including a new Super Smash Bros. title, a fresh installment in the Star Fox series, and a new 3D Mario game to conclude the presentation.
These potential reveals come at a critical time for the Nintendo Switch, as the console's price saw an increase of $50 earlier this month. A strong lineup of upcoming games could be instrumental in driving hardware sales. The Pokémon franchise, a consistent bestseller on Nintendo platforms, may also receive an update, with expectations for a look at the region or new pocket monsters for the upcoming game, Pokemon Winds and Waves.
Viewers can tune into the Nintendo Direct via Nintendo's official YouTube and Twitch channels. The presentation begins at 7 AM PT, 10 AM ET, 3 PM BST, 4 PM CEST, and 11 PM JST.
