Add as a preferred source on Google

Nintendo will hold a full-fledged Nintendo Direct presentation this September, just as it has during this month for the past several years. Whether or not this would happen was in question because of the June Direct and August’s Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct, but now that’s no longer a debate. The next Nintendo Direct will take place on September 14 and give us insights on games coming to the Nintendo Switch throughout the rest of the year. It will air live, so we’ve outlined where and how people can watch the September 2023 Nintendo Direct, as well as what people should expect from it.

How to watch the September 2023 Nintendo Direct

Nintendo Direct 9.14.2023 - Nintendo Switch

On September 14, this Nintendo Direct will be streamed live and for free on Nintendo’s YouTube channel. The YouTube premiere for the livestream is already posted, and we’ve embedded it above so you’ll be able to watch the September 2023 Nintendo Direct right from this page.

What to expect from the September 2023 Nintendo Direct

Nintendo’s official description for the event simply states that people should expect “information focused on Nintendo Switch games releasing this winter.” Looking ahead, the Switch’s fall 2023 lineup currently contains games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Detective Pikachu Returns, Super Mario RPG’s remake, WarioWare: Move It!, and Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince. Expect to get updates on some (or all) of those games during this Direct.

It’s also likely that Nintendo announce some new games here as well. Pyoro_X, the X user that accurately leaked the June Direct’s biggest reveal, claims that Donkey Kong, F-Zero, and DS and Wii-related games will show up during the event. All Nintendo players can do now is wait and watch the Direct for an idea of what’s coming in the near future for the Nintendo Switch.

The debate around GTA 6's "physical" edition just got another twist. Rockstar has confirmed on its official website that PS5 download codes included with physical copies of Grand Theft Auto VI sold in Japan will expire 170 days after the game's November 19, 2026 launch date. That means players who don't redeem the code before roughly May 8, 2027 could be left with nothing more than an empty game box, even though they purchased a physical copy. The company says the policy is required due to regional regulations in Japan.

Why only Japan?

Fresh off launching a metallic Hall-effect keyboard and a 59g gaming mouse for flashy esports setups, Lenovo has turned its attention to gamers working with much tighter budgets. The Legion 24-1r looks made for broke college students who spent way too much on their first gaming rig and now have instant noodles doing most of the heavy lifting at dinner. It costs just 669 yuan, equivalent to around $99, yet offers a 23.8-inch IPS panel running at up to 280Hz.

Lenovo is also offering the 27-inch Legion 27-1r with the same core specifications for 789 yuan, or roughly $116. For the ramen-budget crowd chasing competitive frame rates, both look like seriously tempting deals. (via NotebookCheck)
