Nintendo Direct September 2023: how to watch and what to expect

By Tomas Franzese Published September 13, 2023

Nintendo will hold a full-fledged Nintendo Direct presentation this September, just as it has during this month for the past several years. Whether or not this would happen was in question because of the June Direct and August’s Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct, but now that’s no longer a debate. The next Nintendo Direct will take place on September 14 and give us insights on games coming to the Nintendo Switch throughout the rest of the year. It will air live, so we’ve outlined where and how people can watch the September 2023 Nintendo Direct, as well as what people should expect from it.

What to expect from the September 2023 Nintendo Direct

Nintendo’s official description for the event simply states that people should expect “information focused on Nintendo Switch games releasing this winter.” Looking ahead, the Switch’s fall 2023 lineup currently contains games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Detective Pikachu Returns, Super Mario RPG’s remake, WarioWare: Move It!, and Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince. Expect to get updates on some (or all) of those games during this Direct.

It’s also likely that Nintendo announce some new games here as well. Pyoro_X, the X user that accurately leaked the June Direct’s biggest reveal, claims that Donkey Kong, F-Zero, and DS and Wii-related games will show up during the event. All Nintendo players can do now is wait and watch the Direct for an idea of what’s coming in the near future for the Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo World Championships turned me into a Super Mario Bros. god

The newly released Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition is all about mastery. The retro microgame collection takes 13 NES classics and breaks them down into bite-sized speedrunning challenges that beg players to replay them over and over to lower their best time. That process all leads to the package's big event, the titular Nintendo World Championships. Every week, players all submit their best times for five specific challenges and fight for a top ranking come Monday morning.

I had no idea how I'd fare against hundreds of thousands of people in the game's first week. While I'd been sharpening my skills during the review period for the game, I still didn't have much confidence that I could make a splash in games like Super Mario Bros. that have been mapped out to perfection already.

What may be one of the last Nintendo Direct presentations entirely focused on the Nintendo Switch has arrived. While Nintendo was still not ready to talk about its popular platform's successor just yet, this Direct showed that there are still plenty of compelling Nintendo Switch games on the way. We already knew about titles like Luigi's Mansion 2 HD and Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, but we also learned about new games like Mario & Luigi: Brothership, Super Mario Party Jamboree, and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.

We also finally got a look at Metroid Prime 4, which now has the full title of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. Third-party companies showed up as well, with Square Enix unveiling some HD-2D remakes of Dragon Quest games and Capcom revealing Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics. To help you keep track of everything that got announced, here's a full recap of everything shown during the June 2024 Nintendo Direct.

Nintendo took to X (formerly Twitter) to confirm that a lengthy Nintendo Direct is just one day away.

There are bound to be some surprises as well, so all Nintendo fans should be tuning in. If you're planning to do just that, we've rounded up all the necessary information you need to know before watching the June 2024 Nintendo Direct.
