In brief

Nintendo is hosting a Direct on September 9th at 4:00 PM CEST France time, immediately followed by a Treehouse Live session. Expect 45 minutes of programming, with no official leaks about the content. A strategically timed event just before Tokyo Game Show and following the Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct.

No single game here, but a calendar date not to be missed. The September 9 Nintendo Direct is set for 7:00 AM PT / 10:00 AM ET, which is 4:00 PM in France. Streaming on YouTube (America, Europe and Japan) and Nintendo.com (America, Europe and Japan). Expect about 45 minutes of programming.

This Direct comes right after The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct, scheduled the day before at the same time. Two days packed with announcements at the end of the week, then, right before the Tokyo Game Show, which kicks off on September 10 with the PLAYISM Game Show among other things. As for the exact content expected - games shown, pre-orders or special editions possibly revealed - nothing has leaked from Nintendo's side for now.

Right after the Direct, a Nintendo Treehouse: Live will take over starting at 11:00 AM ET (5:00 PM CEST) for an hour of gameplay on a selection of the games showcased. That's often where the real substantive details play out: demo lengths, precise dates, possible pre-order windows. A date to follow closely.

What are you most looking forward to from this Nintendo Direct?
