Speculation is mounting that a new Nintendo Direct presentation is imminent, with a prominent leaker adding significant weight to these rumors. According to NateTheHate2, a well-known source for industry insights, a Nintendo Direct is indeed planned for September.
The precise date for this anticipated event is suggested to be within the second week of September, specifically around September 11 or 12. This timing aligns with earlier reports and coincidentally precedes the 40th anniversary of the legendary game, 1985`s original Super Mario Bros.
Regarding potential announcements, the leaker hinted at the possibility of Red Dead Redemption II being revealed for the upcoming Switch 2 during the Direct. NateTheHate2 commented that the game is destined for the Switch 2 platform, irrespective of when or where its official announcement occurs.
The most recent Nintendo Direct, held on August 19, was a dedicated broadcast focused exclusively on Kirby: Air Riders.
Historically, Nintendo has consistently hosted a September Direct, having done so in eight out of the last nine years. This makes a September 2025 presentation highly anticipated and very much in line with their established pattern, rather than an unexpected anomaly.
Should this Nintendo Direct materialize as rumored, it would mark the second major platform-holder event of the month, following the PlayStation State of Play that is already scheduled for September 3.
