Nintendo Direct September 2025: Switch 2 Announcements Expected Amid Super Mario 40th Anniversary

Nintendo has officially announced its next major Nintendo Direct showcase, set for September 12, 2025.

This highly anticipated event follows closely after July’s Partner Showcase and August’s Indie World, continuing an eventful summer for Switch fans.

The September presentation will highlight new announcements and updates on games headed to both the next-generation Switch 2 console and the current Nintendo Switch platform. The broadcast is scheduled to air at 2pm BST / 3pm CEST / 6am ET / 9am PT, with a full international schedule ensuring fans across the globe can tune in.

As per tradition, viewers can catch the live coverage on the Nintendo of America YouTube channel or regional alternatives, with media outlets like Nintendo Life also hosting streams and live discussions during the event. Prominent among the expected topics is the celebration of Super Mario’s 40th anniversary.

Nintendo made headlines in previous years with special releases for milestone anniversaries, such as the Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.

and Super Mario 3D All-Stars compilation for the Nintendo Switch during the 35th anniversary in 2020.

Nintendo’s ongoing recognition of its flagship mascot continues to capture the industry’s attention, and fans are eager to see what tributes or new experiences the company has planned this year. The lineup for the Nintendo Direct is expected to deliver key updates on some of the most anticipated titles in the company’s portfolio.

Chief among them is Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, a game that has eagerly awaited a firm release date.

Another highlight is Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, which will likely receive new information or content announcements.

Nintendo’s recent cadence of events suggests that the September Direct could also introduce a few first looks at games targeting a 2026 release, particularly for the forthcoming Switch 2 hardware. Nintendo remains a dominant force in both game development and hardware innovation, as evidenced by the enduring success of the Nintendo Switch and its ecosystem.

The eShop continues to see robust activity, and titles from flagship franchises consistently chart strong sales, affirming the brand’s lasting appeal. For fans—and industry observers—this upcoming Nintendo Direct represents another milestone in a pivotal year.

Whether you’re hoping for release dates on major titles or a glimpse of anniversary content celebrating Super Mario’s legacy, September 12th promises to deliver plenty of news worth watching.

Be sure to set your reminder to catch the Nintendo Direct live, and watch for comprehensive coverage and analysis across key gaming news platforms.
