Nintendo Direct

The rumoured Nintendo Direct of September 2022 has been confirmed to go ahead as planned, so here's when AU/NZ folks can tune in.

Then there’s also the possibility of a Metroid Prime 4 announcement, which has been popping up in Nintendo’s financial reports for a long while now. However, I question whether they’re going to go with straight ports of the originals or the WiiU remasters. The biggest and most juicy ‘leak’ definitely has to be the potential news of Tuesday, September 13th As mentioned prior, the rumour mill has been functioning at a level only describable as ‘Yowza Wowza’. While the UK has decided that they will not livestream the Nintendo Direct tomorrow

Wondering how you can stream the September Nintendo Direct livestream online? We've got you covered with all of the details.

[past few years of Nintendo Directs,](/articles/every-nintendo-direct-nintendo-switch-announcements) the company didn't have its usual summer showcace in June -- which could mean some of the biggest announcements of the year will be happening tomorrow instead. Nintendo fans are also hoping for more information about [Metroid Prime 4](/games/metroid-prime-4), which was announced almost five years ago. If you're a fan of [Nintendo Switch games](/articles/best-nintendo-switch-games-2), you'll want to tune in for the latest updates on upcoming titles. The Nintendo Direct livestream is happening today, September 13 at 7 a.m.

The Nintendo Direct September showcase will go live this Tuesday, and we're hoping to see quite a few exciting announcements, including Bayonetta 3.

We also know that the event is set to "mostly" cover games coming out this winter, which means we could see a few surprises set to launch far off in the future. [Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope](https://www.laptopmag.com/news/mario-rabbids-sparks-of-hope-everything-we-know-so-far) is also coming this year, but since it's set to launch as soon as October, we're unsure if we'll see it there.

[Bayonetta 3](https://www.laptopmag.com/news/bayonetta-3-everything-we-know-so-far) is still set to launch this year, so unless it gets abruptly delayed, we're certain we'll see it at the show. The event will showcase trailers and updates mostly focused on games coming out this winter, giving us an idea of what to expect.

What a delight it'd be to have this on the Switch - and dare we dream for news of Project RS3 too to boot? Treasure's been teasing a comeback for a short while, and it doesn't take too much internet sleuthing to discover exactly what shape that will take - a fresh outing for Radiant Silvergun, the studio's delightfully tricksy shooting game that debuted on Sega's ST-V and Saturn hardware, and arguably one of its finest games. [making its way to PlayStation consoles at the end of the September](https://www.eurogamer.net/everything-announced-in-sonys-playstation-state-of-play-1) it seems almost inevitable that Tunic will get a Switch port - so why not make my autumn dreams come true and let me solve some of the best puzzles in gaming on the go? With at least a year of BOTW2 expansion content likely planned, this is the last moment in some time Nintendo can monetise these fan-favourite games - and there's certainly an appetite as we all wait for Breath of the Wild's next chapter. It was the sort of oddity Nintendo was into at the time - a la Pac-Man Versus, which was brilliant.

A new Nintendo Direct presentation streams Sept. 13 at 7 am PT and promises 40 minutes of news on Nintendo Switch games coming this winter (and beyond).

[Metroid Prime](https://www.polygon.com/game/metroid-prime/8347), The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and [The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess](https://www.polygon.com/game/the-legend-of-zelda-twilight-princess/5348) for Nintendo Switch.

As per the aforementioned rumours, high profile games such as [whole bunch of rumours](https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/09/nintendo-direct-zelda-announcement-rumours-intensify), Nintendo has officially announced a new Direct Showcase, scheduled to air on September 13th at 7am PT / 10am ET / 3pm BST / 10pm AWST / 2am NZST. As for what exactly Nintendo will show during this Direct..?

Here's why Nintendo UK is sitting out the latest Direct livestream.

[until they realized](https://twitter.com/FaceMcPlasma/status/1569326294805929984?s=20&t=E2z7cuPZw0boFMn3XftT9w) they could just watch it on another channel. [Nintendo announced yesterday](https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1569325388349800452) that the persistent rumors of a new Nintendo Direct presentation were indeed true, confirming its intention to broadcast a livestream covering a number of upcoming titles on the morning of Sept. Nintendo did not immediately confirm which games would be shown off as part of the presentation, but the company's UK arm quickly clarified that it would be sitting out the planned event as a sign of respect following [the death of Queen Elizabeth II](https://www.thelist.com/397024/the-heartbreaking-death-of-queen-elizabeth-ii/).

This latest presentation from the video game company is expected to share a number of different announcements, reveals, and news on upcoming Nintendo video ...

It will include news that is largely about Nintendo Switch titles set to release this coming winter. As noted above, today's Nintendo Direct is set to take place at 10AM ET/7AM PT and will last for roughly 40 minutes. Most folks that have been following the various reports about this latest Nintendo Direct will likely be hoping to see the remaster of Metroid Prime in addition to new ports for The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker as well as The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

My friends, the day has finally arrived. A brand new Nintendo Direct is here and we will be gathering all the news, trailers, and gameplay videos right here ...

Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, which was first released in Japan on the Wii in 2008 and never made it to the West, will arrive on Nintendo Switch in early 2023. Radiant Silvergun will bring the 1998 arcade classic of the same name to Switch later today. It Takes Two, the charming co-op adventure, will be released on Nintendo Switch on November 4, 2022. It will launch on Nintendo Switch on February 24, 2023. Just Dance 2023 will let you dance to BTS' Dynamite and many other new songs with friends or solo. In this game, players must work to get revenge on those who wronged them, and every time you fall in combat you will get older. Fae Farm takes place in Azoria and players will need to use their skills and spells to help rebuild the world. The first Splatfest for Splatoon 3 will arrive soon, and it will ask players to decide if they'd rather bring Gear, Grub, or Fun with them to a deserted island. While it's just the cloud version, Resident Evil Village Cloud will let Switch owners meet Lady Dimitrescu and experience the latest Resident Evil story. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion will officially be released on Switch and other platforms on December 13, 2022. This new game will feature 385 songs, and it will let two players play locally and up to four players online.

The Nintendo Direct has come and gone. With it, we got to see some new footage of highly anticipated sequels and upcoming launches. Here's everything you ...

We got a brief look at all the characters coming to the game and snippets of their story. The Nintendo Direct opened with a first look at a new Fire Emblem game titled Fire Emblem Engage. It Takes Two is coming to Nintendo Switch is a shockingly blurry port. A number of games coming to Nintendo Switch were shown off in quick succession. Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil VII and Resident Evil 3 are also coming to the cloud for Nintendo Switch later this year. It's a Niantic game in the vein of Pokemon Go, so the idea is somewhat similar. Just Dance 2023 Edition is set to feature live-service elements, where the game will be updated throughout its life and will feature a more application-like user interface. Master Detective Archives: Raincode is the title and it's coming Spring 2023. It's a classic JRPG where players must descend the tower of salvation to save the world. Resident Evil: Village is coming to Nintendo Switch through the cloud. Not much was shown in the trailer itself outside of Link jumping off of a floating platform, climbing trees, and soaring through the sky. Bayonetta 3 received a new trailer (along with an official release date), Pikmin 4 got a brief tease, and most importantly, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was officially given a title with a release date set for May 12, 2023.

A sequel to Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild has just been announced for Nintendo Switch with a May 12 2023 release date - there's very few details but ...

From the wild back to the kingdom. I love the concept of sky islands so I hope there's a good amount of them. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the follow-up to Breath of the Wild, the Nintendo Switch's bestselling game and one of the most highly-rated titles on the handheld console. Another commenter, this time on YouTube, wrote: "Interesting contrast with the previous game's title. Nintendo has just dropped a brand new teaser trailer for the sequel to the bestselling Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild. The cryptic new clip showed Link entering a new world in the clouds, before revealing the title of the game.

A new Nintendo Direct livestream for Tuesday, Sept. 13 promises 40 minutes of news, announcements, and trailers for Nintendo Switch games coming in 2022 and ...

But Nintendo assuredly has some surprises in store as well, as well as updates on Nintendo Switch Online.

During a new Nintendo Direct video presentation, Nintendo unveiled dozens of announcements for games launching on the Nintendo Switch system this year and next.

A brand new Nintendo Direct has arrived and, among many other games, it gave us the long-awaited title and release date for the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. While that was all the Zelda news, fans were also treated to the reveal ...

Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, which was first released in Japan on the Wii in 2008 and never made it to the West, will arrive on Nintendo Switch in early 2023.

Tuesday's Nintendo Direct was a much-hyped affair, with a whopping 40 minutes dedicated to the Japanese company's portable console and its games.

Everyone started holding their breath for the possibility of maybe hearing Chris Pratt do an Italian accent, and instead they heard about a franchise that has been on life support for years and was never that popular to begin with. The dude has always been a little offbeat, which is exactly what’s equipped him to design some of the most memorable games of all time. That, and Pikmin has always been close to the man’s heart. The silver lining here though is that Miyamoto did indeed have some actual news to share: Pikmin 4 is coming in 2023. And it kind of makes sense: Thanks to the way the Direct was constructed, his appearance almost felt like a fake-out. Franchises like Zelda, Metroid, and Super Mario are all older than that, but he would never remind people that Nintendo is still working on them, that would be absurd. [Miyamoto somehow said that it was “nearing completion” seven entire years ago](https://www.kotaku.com.au/2015/09/nintendo-announces-pikmin-4-in-the-weirdest-way/). “This has always been what interested and excited me about the medium: not perfecting the old but discovering the new.” The thing is, even if you weren’t expecting news about, say, a new Nintendo Switch model or BotW 2, for whatever reason, for a brief moment it seemed like Miyamoto had something big to say. He introduced the segment by telling people the Pikmin series is 20 years old, but the company is “still” working on it. Most people kept their expectations somewhat in check for this, because Nintendo said that the event would largely focus on products coming out this holiday season. Lately he’s been focused on theme parks because it makes him feel like he’s doing something new again, and it’s just familiar enough to designing video games to spark excitement.

From The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to Pikmin 3 to Fire Emblem Engage, here was everything announced during September 2022's Nintendo Direct.

Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, which was first released in Japan on the Wii in 2008 and never made it to the West, will arrive on Nintendo Switch in early 2023. Check out the trailer for the 13 TMNT titles and their Japanese versions, coming to PC via Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on August 30, 2022.The collection includes: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Arcade), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (Arcade), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game (NES), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project (NES), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (NES), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time (Super Nintendo), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (Super Nintendo), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist (Sega Genesis), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (Sega Genesis), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of The Foot Clan (Game Boy), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Back From The Sewers (Game Boy), and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Radical Rescue (Game Boy).](/videos/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-the-cowabunga-collection-release-date-trailer) Radiant Silvergun will bring the 1998 arcade classic of the same name to Switch later today.

[The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom](games/nintendo-switch/legend_of_zelda_tears_of_the_kingdom). While it perhaps wasn't the massive Zelda blowout we were all expecting, Nintendo had no shortage of first-party reveals and exclusives, amidst some big Indies and multiplatform releases.

Tuesday's Nintendo Direct was heavy on one genre: The role-playing farming life simulator. There's Harvestella, Story of Seasons, Fae Farm, and Rune Factory ...

Story of Seasons, on the other hand, is a classic that’s — yes — focused on farming, but puts a ton of emphasis on relationship building and family life. But I couldn’t disagree more — each of these games has a really interesting spin on the genre. Before we turned to tending-and-befriending in New Horizons as the pandemic separated us, people were enjoying the chill repetition of everyday farm life in [Stardew Valley](https://www.polygon.com/game/stardew-valley/38933) and others. "In Legend of Zelda Tears Of the Kingdom, you'll grow your own crops, befriend the locals, and wait... Stardew Valley built on that, and now we’re entering a new era — farming sims appear to be taking over once again, and the genre’s fans are thrilled. Nintendo is making it absolutely clear that it’s time to leave the city and tend to our crops.

Tuesday's Nintendo Direct was a much-hyped affair, with a whopping 40 minutes dedicated to the Japanese company's portable console and its games.

Everyone started holding their breath for the possibility of maybe hearing Chris Pratt do an Italian accent, and instead they heard about a franchise that has been on life support for years and was never that popular to begin with. The dude has always been a little offbeat, which is exactly what’s equipped him to design some of the most memorable games of all time. That, and Pikmin has always been close to the man’s heart. The silver lining here though is that Miyamoto did indeed have some actual news to share: Pikmin 4 is coming in 2023. Have you heard [about that good Pikmin-like on Game Pass](https://www.kotaku.com.au/2022/09/your-next-game-pass-obsession-is-a-great-pikmin-like/)? [Miyamoto somehow said that it was “nearing completion” seven entire years ago](https://www.kotaku.com.au/2015/09/nintendo-announces-pikmin-4-in-the-weirdest-way/). Franchises like Zelda, Metroid, and Super Mario are all older than that, but he would never remind people that Nintendo is still working on them, that would be absurd. Except…all he said was that they were still working on the finishing touches for both projects. He introduced the segment by telling people the Pikmin series is 20 years old, but the company is “still” working on it. “This has always been what interested and excited me about the medium: not perfecting the old but discovering the new.” He started off remarking that he had a few things to share, “including some news.” Immediately after this, Miyamoto started talking about the Chris Pratt Mario movie and the Super Nintendo World theme park. Most people kept their expectations somewhat in check for this, because Nintendo said that the event would largely focus on products coming out this holiday season.

Will there be fresh Zelda news? More Metroid morsels? Follow along with us live for the Nintendo Direct news as it streams.

The main character's hair is kind of like the original red and blue Switch Joy-Con colors. It's like a love letter to Zelda and a roguelike. What would you bring to a deserted island?

RIP to British gamers who didn't watch the Nintendo Direct live in remembrance of the late queen's passing. For the rest of us, we were treated to.
