Nintendo Direct

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

[will proceed as planned through its UK channels](https://twitter.com/PlayStationUK/status/1569446132102709249). And of course, at least a few people [jokingly reminded everybody](https://twitter.com/adamszym/status/1569349247635529730?s=20&t=y254ezLvlnv7-4AjF0OP_g) that [Queen Elizabeth II enjoyed gaming](https://www.svg.com/999016/the-video-game-console-that-queen-elizabeth-enjoyed-the-most/) herself on occasion. [Nintendo UK took to Twitter](https://twitter.com/NintendoUK/status/1569326012156059649) to explain, "As a mark of respect during this period of national mourning, we will not livestream tomorrow's Nintendo Direct. [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. Officially, Nintendo has stated that the Nintendo Direct will include "information mostly focused on Today's new Nintendo Direct is set to take place at 10AM ET/7AM PT. Ahead of the livestream, we've pulled together everything you need to know about it like when it is, how to watch it, and what to expect from today's Nintendo Direct.

40 minutes of yummy, scrumptious reveals and updates - It's that time again, folks! Nintendo is about to bring the big gun...

[We've already had a go at guessing what might be in store for us](https://www.nintendolife.com/features/talking-point-what-do-you-want-to-see-at-tomorrows-nintendo-direct-showcase), but what do you think? At "roughly 40 minutes" in length, the showcase will mostly be focused on games launching this winter. [Breath of the Wild 2](games/nintendo-switch/legend_of_zelda_breath_of_the_wild_2) and other 2023 games is not entirely out of the question.

Tune in to Nintendo Direct September 2022 for possible sightings of Zelda, Metroid and more.

While the Switch is certainly more than a little long in the tooth now (it will turn six by the end of the winter period this Nintendo Direct event covers), we’d be surprised if an update was announced in a 40-minute showcase. What we’d really like to see is another new Mario platformer, or at least DLC for the wonderful Mario Odyssey. This would certainly help quell fan annoyance at the continued no-show of Metroid Prime 4 — a game that was first promised all the way back in 2017. Despite Nintendo UK’s unexpected pledge not to livestream today’s festivities in light of the Queen’s passing, that only applies to the UK channel. Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 technically escapes the winter window, with a Spring 2023 date promised, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it slipped in too. If you’re running late, you can just watch the embed below.

Happy Nintendo Direct day! And this promises to be a very happy one indeed, with 40 minutes of news and - fingers cross…

Apparently Iwata would love to go visit the grounds whenever he was over for business. I almost can't quite believe we'll actually get more info on the Breath of the Wild sequel. And that's out this November. Anyway, a new Project Zero! So let's just enjoy a new look at one of the games I'm looking forward to most in what's left of 2022 - Harvestella. Instead we'll get a big new action trailer for Bayonetta 3 revealing all the details straight after this Direct. Or maybe not, as I'd forgotten it's only just over a month away. It's been seven... Kami says: Imo, I think they can just announce the remake release dates. Regardless that was a fantastic Direct. And this promises to be a very happy one indeed, with 40 minutes of news and - fingers crossed - potential for a big update on Breath of the Wild's sequel.

Nintendo held its September Nintendo Direct broadcast on Tuesday, focusing on its slate of new and upcoming Nintendo Switch games.

[Resident Evil Village](https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=polygon+resident+evil+village&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8) is coming to Nintendo Switch via the cloud on Oct. Resident Evil Biohazard, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 3 are coming to the Switch via the cloud this year, too. The next entry in Ubisoft’s series is coming on Nov. Nintendo showed more of Bayonetta 3, wherein the titular hero is saving the world alongside Luka, Jeanne, and new ally Viola. A demo is available on Nintendo eShop now. It’s a remake of the 2012 classic Japanese game, which is out already on other platforms. Golf is coming with online play, allowing for up to eight players. Nintendo showed a brief trailer at the end of the Nintendo Direct on Tuesday. A new hero, Ino, is coming with wave 3 for the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 expansion pass. Wave 2, for its part, is coming on Oct. [a Nintendo Direct broadcast Tuesday](https://www.polygon.com/23338976/nintendo-direct-september-2022-date-time) to round out its slate of upcoming games. viewers looking to watch the event could just tune in on another Nintendo channel — like Nintendo of America.

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. In Engage, players will become a Divine Dragon called Alear who must work to collect Emblem Rings to "bring peace back to the continent of Elyos."

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.

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

AS a mark of respect to Queen Elizabeth II, today's Nintendo Direct won't be broadcast live in the UK.

However, as a mark of respect to Queen Elizabeth II, today's presentation won't be shown live in the UK. The classic Nintendo Switch montage was followed by news that Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe is coming to the console in 2023 Breath of the Wild 2 was saved until the end, where it was revealed that the game shall henceforth be known as Tears of the Kingdom. The September 13 Direct will be broadcast live at 7am PT/ 10am ET for fans living in the US. Even more exciting is the news that Tunic is coming to Nintendo Switch on September 27. UPDATE: Nintendo kicked off the September 13 Direct with a look at strategy role-playing game Fire Emblem Engage, which is coming to Nintendo Switch on January 20, 2023. Arguably the biggest announcement so far is the reveal of Pikmin 4, which is coming in 2023.

[indie masterpiece Tunic will arrive for Switch on 27th September](https://www.eurogamer.net/tunic-comes-to-switch-this-september), thanks to several prayer circles here at Eurogamer. [Fire Emblem Engage, the next main game in Nintendo's strategy series](https://www.eurogamer.net/nintendo-announces-brand-new-fire-emblem-game) which was leaked earlier this year. After almost 20 years, it will launch in the summer of 2023. As we found out the other day, the latter will include Rayman in a post-launch expansion. Volume 2 will let you add the new mechanical-looking hero Ino to your party, and dress up in beachwear, because of course. I can't quite believe it's still in development, but it is, and it is coming to Nintendo Switch in 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.
