Queen Elizabeth’s Death Means Some Switch Gamers Will Miss A Nintendo Direct

This latest Nintendo Direct was expected — we reported on speculation of an announcement at the beginning of September, and it appears that the rumors were true. Nintendo of America shared on Twitter that the livestream will take place on September 13 at 7 a.m. PT. The company teased that we can expect to see “roughly 40 minutes of information mostly focused on Nintendo Switch games launching this winter.” Nintendo UK will skip the livestream, but it will still share the footage after the event has ended, and it will be available on its YouTube channel starting from 4 p.m. U.K. time on September 13, so approximately an hour after the livestream begins. If you’re in the U.K. but still want to watch the event live, meanwhile, you can do so by checking out the Nintendo of America stream here.

Early leaks have pointed toward new information about the Zelda franchise, with the possibility of two iconic games being ported to the Switch: “The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess” and “The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.” Whether this checks out or not, we’ll have to wait and see, but Zelda fans would undoubtedly also love a mention of the rumored “Breath of the Wild 2.” There have also been rumors about possible “Metroid Prime” news.

Some of the other games expected to come out this year include “Bayonetta 3,”  “Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet,” and “Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp.” However, the Pokémon news might be a little scarce – Pokémon often gets its own Direct when there are big things to announce.
