It’s the big day for Nintendo fans, as the annual September Direct kicks off in a few minutes. Running for roughly 45 minutes, this broadcast is expected to offer a fresh look at everything coming to Switch consoles from Nintendo and its third-party partners. The June 2026 Nintendo Direct featured a ton of trailers for a wide range of games, so we’re expecting more of the same today–and maybe even a few surprises. As always, we’ll be covering the Direct live, so you can keep scrolling down for fresh updates and trailers.
According to the rumor mill, Nintendo might be looking to drop a few first looks during this presentation, with reports claiming that we could get our first look at new Star Fox and 3D Mario games. While you’ll have to tune in to see if any of those rumors turn out to be true, at least the next couple of months look like a great time to own a Switch 2. Games like Final Fantasy Resonance, Orbitals, and a remaster of The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt all look great, and in early November, there’s the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time to look forward to.
Until those games hit the scene, here’s a closer look at everything from the September Nintendo Direct, as it happens.
Nintendo Shapes game when?
The best part of a Nintendo Direct–the soothing shapes slotting into place–is currently playing before the presentation kicks off in a few minutes. We need Nintendo to turn this into a game already.
Monster Hunter Wilds
And we’re off! The Direct is kicking off with Monster Hunter Wilds for Switch 2. It’ll be coming to the console on December 4, 2026. This version will include local co-op, and the big Ascendance expansion is also coming to the Switch 2 edition of the game.
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation
In case you needed a reminder, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will launch for Switch 2 in April 2027. Preorders for this version open later today. The prequel game, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy Reunion, is also coming to Switch 2 today.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity – Definitive Edition
Hyrule Warriors is getting a Switch 2 version, that upgrades the game with improved visuals and a harder difficulty mode. It’ll be out on February 25, 2027.
Meccha Chameleon
The best hide-and-seek video game, Meccha Chameleon, launches later today for Switch 2.
Pokemon Pokopia
A small update for Pokemon Pokopia is on the way, and it’ll finally let you give your pocket monsters some cool sunglasses to wear.
Star Fox
A free update for Star Fox will add local four-player split-screen, and it’ll be available starting September 30. Star Fox Adventures is also being added to the Nintendo Classics library today.
The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt
You’ve played it on PC and several consoles, now get ready to play The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt on Switch 2! The game’s new expansion is also headed to the Nintendo console.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Keeping things focused on swordplay, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 heads to Switch 2 soon. The gameplay shown off does look quite rough though.
