After some rumors started brewing over when the next Nintendo Direct would air, Nintendo has confirmed the date. We'll be seeing the delayed Direct on September 13th at 23:00 UK time. It appears that we'll still be getting a 35 minute showcase of upcoming Switch and 3DS titles. Stay tuned for tomorrow, as GBAtemp will be covering the event as it airs.

Additionally, Nintendo Switch Online will be launching on the 18th of this month. A free 7 day trial will be offered as well. More Online information will be given during the Direct.

It never should've been delayed in the first place.

Interesting that it's still 35 minutes. I wonder if they edited any content or it's the same direct.

since online is also around the corner, i wonder how free to play games will do, will it go the horrible method like xbox live, or the acceptable method like PSN...

difference if you're uninformed is;
warframe on xbox live for example requires you to have gold to access some of the basic features like having a clan or in game trading,
PSN doesn't, it's proper free

fortnite on xbox one is totally unplayable, psn is, you get my point

With multiple announcements after the delayed direct I am genuinely curious if a lot of this content is going to be old news

 

[Marco_Buns]

Uh, the Online Service is coming sooner than I thought

Shantae4smash hype(?)

hopefully, having to pay to play a free to play game is extra scummy tbh.

wouldn't be surprised considering how scummy nintendo have been in general lately

With the first week being a free trial.
