September 2022 Nintendo Direct recap announcement

The September 2022 Nintendo Direct is officially in the books, and we now have an official announcement recap from Nintendo. It recaps all of the announcements, news, and everything else shown during today’s presentation.

Here’s the full September 2022 Nintendo Direct recap announcement:

Nintendo UK has opted not to live stream tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct due to “period of national mourning”, the company has said.

Last week, Queen Elizabeth II passed away, and the news has quickly become a worldwide news event. However, it has had the biggest impact in the UK.

Nintendo Direct September 2022

A new Nintendo Direct will air tomorrow, September 13, Nintendo just announced. The presentation will be held at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET / 3 PM in the UK / 4 PM in Europe.

Nintendo says that the Nintendo Direct will mainly focus on Switch games launching this winter. It’ll be about 40 minutes long.

Original (8/31): According to Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb, a Nintendo Direct could air during the week of September 12. September 14 could be the most logical date based on when prior presentations have taken place and the fact the Tokyo Game Show will begin on September 15 in Japan. Grubb believes that the Nintendo Direct is planned for September 13 or 14 – depending on the time zone you’re in.

As for what the new Nintendo Direct will contain, Grubb thinks that “there’s going to be a lot of Zelda stuff” and “it will be a Zelda blowout”. Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD for Switch, which have been previously rumored, are thought to be making an appearance plus potentially Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2. Another possibility (but keep in mind Grubb doesn’t confirm its presence) is the Metroid Prime remaster – something else that there’s been speculation about.
