Nintendo is going big this September with two Nintendo Direct showcases airing on back-to-back days. Here's everything you need to know.
Two Nintendo Direct showcases are set to air on back-to-back days in September 2026. The first one, The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct, will take place on Tuesday, September 8, at 7am PT / 10am ET / 4pm CEST. IGN will host live watch parties for each presentation. Following the Zelda Direct, a general Nintendo Direct and a Nintendo Treehouse: Live stream will be broadcast on Wednesday, September 9.
IGN will again host live watch parties for both events. The Zelda Direct will feature information related to the series' 40th anniversary, including updates on the Ocarina of Time remake and its release date. The general Nintendo Direct is expected to provide updates on upcoming Switch 2 games, such as Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, and potentially The Duskbloods. A look at Xenoblade Genesis, the next entry in Monolith Soft's RPG series, may also be revealed.
