Nintendo Direct September 9 Showcase—Everything Announced

Finishing up a quickfire selection of showcases is the Nintendo Direct for September 9. Leaks have been kept to a minimum this time around, and everyone is expecting the world from this show. New Smash Bros.? Luigi’s Mansion? We’ll have to find out.

Another Nintendo Direct is around the corner. The company’s flagship showcase spectacular has the potential to deliver some Bob-ombshell announcements that would make Mario blush. That said, this is the only page you need to keep up with new game announcements, fresh trailers, and release dates.
