Nintendo has announced two back-to-back presentations, which will last 40 minutes in total.
Following rumours of a Nintendo Direct earlier last week, the company has confirmed there will actually be two presentations on Tuesday, August 27.
The back-to-back shows will begin with an Indie World presentation at 3pm UK time, followed by a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase. Both shows will stream one after the other at the YouTube link below, and will last for 40 minutes in total.
As the latter is a partner showcase, don’t expect any first party Nintendo titles to make an appearance, so no Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom or Super Mario Party Jamboree.
Instead, there might be updates on Marvel Vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, which is slated for this year but still doesn’t have a release date, along with Sony’s Lego Horizon Adventures.
As for the Indie World portion, we might see new glimpses of The Plucky Squire, which is out on September 17, or a Switch port of Nine Sols, which was recently rated for the console in Taiwan.
As has become customary, Nintendo has ruled out any mention of the successor to the Switch, which is set to be revealed sometime before April next year.
Nintendo usually broadcasts a first party led Nintendo Direct every September, although it’s unclear if this year could be an outlier in light of these two smaller presentations, coupled with the Nintendo Museum Direct earlier this month.
It’s likely the company will hold some kind of presentation though, in order to promote its Christmas line-up, which includes Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom, Super Mario Party Jamboree, and Mario & Luigi: Brothership.
This latest announcement doesn’t make it any easier to guess when the reveal of the Switch 2 might happen, and it’s still impossible to say whether it’ll be this year or next.
