August 25: Multiple sources are coming forward, claiming that a Nintendo Direct is happening in September.
Switch Force was the first to hint at a date of September 12. That would be a Friday, which would be abnormal, but it’s also possible that it could be September 11 in the west due to time zone differences.

We have a bit of good news for those interested in picking up a physical version of Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots on Nintendo Switch.
At this point, it’s safe to say that the game is digital-only in North America, especially given that it’s only a week out. There simply aren’t any listings we’ve been able to find pointing to a physical edition. However, in Europe, Bandai Namco is actually publishing a physical copy of Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots on Nintendo Switch. This works very well since the system is region-free – those in North America and elsewhere will be able to play it on their device.
Today, we’re going over some characters we’d like to see in the final version of Kirby Air Riders.
Kirby Air Riders recently received a big 45-minute Nintendo Direct presentation with tons of info and character reveals, including the newly-announced November 20 release date. During the presentation, game director Masahiro Sakurai commented that the game is called “Air Riders” because this time around, you can choose from multiple riders rather than just Kirby (and King Dedede and Meta Knight, who were unlockable in the original).
Right now, Kirby Air Riders has a decent-sized roster: it includes Kirby, Dedede, Meta Knight, Bandana Waddle Dee, Chef Kawasaki, Cappy, Magolor, Gooey, Waddle Doo, Knuckle Joe, Susie, and Starman. But during the Nintendo Direct, Sakurai stated that there was more information to reveal prior to the game’s launch in November. Though it’s entirely possible we’ve seen the final roster for the game, it’s also possible that there are hidden or unlockable characters.
