There’s A 60-Minute Nintendo Direct Happening This Friday

Friday September 12 2025 Nintendo Direct

Nintendo has announced that a Nintendo Direct is coming this Friday, on Sept. 12. It will begin at 6 a.m. PT/9 a.m. ET and run for about 60 minutes. 

As for what to expect, Nintendo simply says, “Tune in for roughly 60 minutes of information on upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch games,” noting that it will be streamed on YouTube and via its news-focused Nintendo Today app. 

 

If we put our speculation caps on, it seems likely we’ll see more of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, which launches on Oct. 16 and has the potential to be the best Pokémon game in years, Metroid Prime 4, which doesn’t yet have a release date despite Nintendo stating it’s launching this year, and Kirby Air Riders, which launches in November. Beyond that, it wouldn’t be surprising to get some game reveals and more. 

Fortunately, we don’t have to wait too long to find out because the Nintendo Direct happens this week, on Friday, Sept. 12. 

In the meantime, read Game Informer’s Metroid Prime 4 preview, and then check out everything we learned in the recent Kirby Air Riders Direct. After that, check out how Mega Hawlucha and Mega Victreebel are coming to Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
