Even more evidence has come to light that suggests the next Nintendo Direct event could take place very soon. Reliable leaker NateTheHate2 has backed up the initial reports of the next Nintendo Direct coming in September, saying, “Yes, there is a Nintendo Direct in September.”

But when? The leaker said fans can expect it during the second week of September. He said it’s likely to happen on September 11 or 12. That matches up with a previous report that the event could happen on September 12, which is one day before the 40th anniversary of the release of 1985’s original Super Mario Bros.

As for what might be on tap for the next Nintendo Direct, the leaker said it’s possible the Direct could be the venue for the announcement of the rumored Red Dead Redemption II port for Switch 2.”Maybe? Depends if Nintendo was able to court Rockstar. RDR2 is Switch 2 bound regardless of announcement/reveal venue,” NateTheHate2 said.

The latest Nintendo Direct took place on August 19 and it was a beefy broadcast focused exclusively on Kirby: Air Riders.

Nintendo has held a September Nintendo Direct each September for the past eight out of nine years, so it would be a more notable event if Nintendo did not have a Direct on tap for September 2025.

If the Nintendo Direct is real, it would be the second major platform-holder’s broadcast in September, with the next PlayStation State of Play event lined up for September 3.
