  "account": "Nintendo's September 2026 Direct saw several highly anticipated games fail to make an appearance, leaving fans disappointed. While Metroid Ravenous and Kirby and the World Beyond received attention, there was no 3D Mario game, nor the FromSoftware exclusive The Duskbloods. Additionally, next-level developer Next Level Games had yet to announce a new Luigi's Mansion installment. Animal Crossing fans were also left wanting, as no new game mention was made. Despite the release of Mario Kart World's DLC, fans expressed disappointment at the lack of new costumes or tracks.",
  "summary": "Today's September 2026 Nintendo Direct has come and gone, and so has any chance of seeing the next 3D Mario, The Duskbloods, and more highly anticipated games that ended up being no-shows.",
