Rumor: Nintendo Direct Happening in September 2021
Although a Pokemon Presents Direct recently took place on August 18, it has been nearly three months since the last proper Nintendo Direct. That happened on June 15 for E3 2021, and many think another one is coming soon.
Overall, it makes sense, as a lot of small things add up to suggest there will be a Nintendo Direct event this coming month. There has been a Direct in September every year since 2016, it has been roughly three months since the latest Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighter DLC was announced, and Nintendo has quite a few other games releasing in September and October to add to the Direct.
With this in mind, it’s no wonder that Nintendo Direct is already trending on Twitter. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem anything is too reliable other than the history of September Directs. Some are claiming the event will take place on September 4 and will indeed feature the final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fighter announcement. Others are claiming it’ll be on September 9 or September 10, while others are just excitedly posting about the possibility of it happening.
Prior to Nintendo Direct trending on Twitter based on this information and no real announcement, there was one rumor back in early August saying a Nintendo Direct would happen in September. This rumor was likely based on the same information as above, but it does go a little further. It originally said a Nintendo Direct would happen around the release of WarioWare (which is September 10) and primarily focus on Metroid Dread, Advance Wars, and Mario Party Superstars.
However, because none of this is official and because Nintendo has yet to announce a new Nintendo Direct, fans should take everything discussed here with a healthy grain of salt. Just because history suggests it would happen doesn’t make it an infallible prediction, and this would be far from the first time the internet has gotten worked up over a Nintendo Direct (or Sony State of Play, or gaming event period) for it not to come to fruition.
Still, Nintendo fans have a lot to look forward to over the next couple of months. Aside from the aforementioned WarioWare Get It Together!, quite a few first- and third-party games are releasing, such as Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, Ni No Kuni 2, Darksiders 3, Metroid Dread, Mario Party Superstars, and much more. This means there’s a lot to look forward to on the horizon, whether or not the September Nintendo Direct happens or not.
