Nintendo Direct September 2023 live coverage
One thing we know we won't be seeing is anything to do with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Despite initial hints to the contrary, Nintendo has said that there'll be no Tears of the Kingdom DLC. According to series producer Eiji Aonuma, the team believes it's exhausted all the possibilities that the latest version of Hyrule has to offer, and is setting its sights on something new.
Beyond there, however, it gets a little trickier. The remake of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and the new Princess Peach game are both due to release in 2024, but we don't know when - could they arrive in the winter months at the start of the year?
In a moment of absolute copium, my colleague Dustin has also flagged that the Metroid Prime 4 release date is still a mystery. Something tells me that won't be making an appearance today, but I suppose we can always hope.
So - what should we be expecting from the Nintendo Direct? Well, let's focus on Nintendo's phrasing - today's showcase is "focused on Nintendo Switch games releasing this Winter." That's a relatively limited list at the moment.
Let's assume that "this Winter" runs from any time around now to the early months of 2024. As much as it's still unseasonably warm here in the UK, there are a few games coming out pretty soon that Nintendo seems likely to highlight - Detective Pikachu Returns and Super Mario Wonder are both out next month (October 6 and October 20, respectively). After that, WarioWare: Move It! and the Super Mario RPG Remake will arrive on November 3 and November 17.
We're just a few hours away from the Nintendo Direct now, so let's see what games there are to talk about!
