Rumor: New Nintendo Direct airing tomorrow
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
For the past few years, fans have come to expect a new Nintendo Direct in September. Last year’s presentation during the month was noteworthy, as we received lengthy looks at previously-announced titles as well as some brand new games.
Speculation is now circulating that a Nintendo Direct will be airing very soon – in fact, possibly tomorrow. The presentation is rumored for 4 PM PT (September 6) / 7 PM ET (September 6) / 12 AM in the UK (September 7) / 1 AM in Europe (September 7).
Information about the Nintendo Direct appears to come from indie sources, indicating that we’d probably see an indie game or two during the broadcast. The rumor also stems from sources who accurately helped to predict Nintendo of Europe’s Indie Highlights video a few hours before it went live last month. Stay tuned.

Does Bad North need some wild west?

The art style may be minimalist, but make no mistake, Bad North will require maximum patience and planning to survive the Viking onslaught. I took a journey through its procedurally generated islands and lived to tell the tale. With permadeath looming over every mistake, the game relies replay value. Unfortunately, while I enjoyed coasting through Bad North’s combat, it didn’t leave me wanting more Viking blood on my hands.
