The second Nintendo Direct of the week will stream at 10AM ET on September 9 on YouTube and the Nintendo Today! app. The roughly 45-minute broadcast will focus on games coming to the Switch 2 this winter. After the Direct, a Nintendo Treehouse stream will run for about 110 minutes, showcasing gameplay from featured titles. The stream is expected to include a look at Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, which arrives on October 22. A leaker has claimed that the next Super Smash Bros. game, DLC bringing Fox Mc Cloud to Mario Kart World, and a revival of the Nintendogs series are in the works, though it is unclear if any will appear. Nintendo is unlikely to spend much time on the Ocarina of Time remake after the Zelda-focused Direct on Tuesday. That earlier showcase also revealed a Zelda-themed Switch 2 and Pro Controller, fresh Amiibo, and a Lego set featuring Link and Epona. The company confirmed the upcoming movie adaptation is simply titled The Legend of Zelda, with an original story, and it will hit theaters on April 30, 2027.

The September 9 Direct will provide broader coverage beyond the Zelda remake. Viewers can watch on YouTube, the Nintendo Today! app, or the Engadget embed. The focus will be on Switch 2 titles arriving this winter, with possible reveals of further-out releases. The follow-up Nintendo Treehouse stream will offer extended gameplay details.

Nintendo's Tuesday Direct gave fans an in-depth look at The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. The presentation also highlighted new hardware and merchandise, including a Zelda-themed Switch 2, Pro Controller, Amiibo, and a Lego set. The Legend of Zelda movie was confirmed with an original story and an April 30, 2027 theatrical release.
