Nintendo Direct September 2025 live stream

With the massive September 2025 Nintendo Direct presentation kicking off in just a bit we have a post set up for the live streams and a live blog. It all starts at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM in the UK / 3 PM in Europe. 

This is one of the longest Nintendo Directs ever with the estimated length coming in at about an  hour. Upcoming games for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch will be covered.

September 2025 Nintendo Direct

A new Nintendo Direct presentation will take place on Friday, September 12, it’s just been announced. It will air at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM in the UK / 3 PM in Europe. This will last about 60 minutes, covering games for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch.

This will be the first general Nintendo Direct of the Nintendo Switch 2 era. While we did see a broadcast earlier this summer, it was a Partner Showcase focused on third-parties.

Nintendo Direct September 2025 rumor

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.

Now that today’s Kirby Air Riders Direct has wrapped up, Nintendo has passed along an official recap announcement. A ton of information was shared in the 45-minute presentation, but thanks to the press release, everything is neatly summarized.

Also, this wasn’t covered in the presentation, but we now know that Kirby Air Riders is playable at PAX West 2025. Demos will require a Warp Pipe Pass reservation.

Here’s the full Kirby Air Riders Direct official recap announcement:

Kirby Air Riders Direct live stream

With the Kirby Air Riders Direct beginning soon, we have a new dedicated post for the live stream. The fun begins at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM in the UK / 3 PM in Europe.

As previously confirmed, the broadcast will be about 45 minutes long. Masahiro Sakurai, the game’s director, will act as host and will finally give us our first look at the Nintendo Switch title. Other than that, we don’t have much to go on, but expected a big blowout here.

Kirby Air Riders Direct

A new Kirby Air Riders Direct has just been announced. It will air tomorrow, August 19 at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM in the UK / 3 PM in Europe. This is confirmed via the Nintendo Today app.

The broadcast will be about 45 minutes long. Information about the Switch 2 game will be shared, but otherwise, Nintendo is letting fans speculate about specifics.

Nintendo Direct delay

Nintendo Directs tend to go as planned, but you may recall that there was one time that a broadcast was delayed. That happened back in 2018 following the Hokkaido, Japan earthquake. Originally lined up for September 6, Nintendo would end up moving the presentation date to September 13.

Former Nintendo of America employees Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang shared some behind-the-scenes information about what was going on at the time during a new episode of their podcast. While the earthquake was ultimately what prompted the delay, it turns out that wasn’t the only thing Nintendo was mulling over back then.

Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase July 2025

The rumored July 2025 Nintendo Direct has been made official, with the announcement just coming in now – though it’s confirmed that the event will only be a Partner Showcase. Fans can tune in starting tomorrow at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM in the UK / 3 PM in Europe.

Nintendo says that the Direct will be about 25 minutes long. It will cover upcoming third-party games for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch. Since this is a Partner Showcase, don’t expect to hear much (if anything) for titles published by the Big N.

Here’s where you’ll be able to watch the July 2025 Nintendo Direct:

July 2025 Nintendo Direct predictions

Today, we’re going over some potential announcements we could see in a July 2025 Nintendo Direct.

You know the drill by now – it’s that time of the year again. To some extent, Nintendo Direct rumors are always swirling about in one form or another. If we reported on every single “there’s a Direct this week” rumor that comes up, we’d probably be posting multiple times per month. In fact, generally speaking, the only time we report on Nintendo Direct rumors is when NateTheHate (who correctly predicted the Switch 2’s reveal date) mentions that one is coming soon.

If you haven’t heard already, there’s supposedly a Nintendo Direct in development for later this month. The most likely days for this presentation would be July 23, July 24, July 30, or July 31 – but at the time of writing, we don’t know which one it is yet or if the Direct is happening at all. Either way, we’re due for one soon.

Nintendo fans have been awaiting the next Direct presentation, and apparently, it could be happening very soon.

That claim comes from Nate the Hate, who shared what he knows on a podcast episode. He’s heard that there’s a Nintendo Direct happening in July, though it won’t air until Donkey Kong Bananza is released.
