Nintendo Direct Announced For This Friday On Eve of Super Mario Bros. 40th Anniversary

Nintendo will unveil about 60 minutes of news on upcoming Switch and Switch 2 games, marking Mario's 40th anniversary since the 1985 original release.

  • Nintendo confirmed via the Nintendo Today app that it will stream a Nintendo Direct on Friday, September 12, 2025, on Twitch and YouTube, running roughly 60 minutes.
  • Notably, this year will be Mario's 40th anniversary, and Nintendo picked the date partly because it lines up neatly with that milestone and Mario himself.
  • Nintendo announced via the Nintendo Today app that a 60-minute Direct will air, longer than typical 20-40 minute shows, and it is the third major Direct of the year.
  • Expect the Direct to reveal a Metroid Prime 4: Beyond release date and confirm new Switch and Switch 2 titles for the coming months.
  • Ahead of the Tokyo Game Show 2025, Nintendo scheduled a Direct, featuring titles like Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Kirby Air Riders, timed for September 12, 2025.
