Nintendo Direct announced for September 2025 - what can fans expect for Super Mario Bros' 40th anniversary?
Nintendo has confirmed when their next presentation will be taking place - and we’re anticipating big things.
Nintendo Direct will return on Friday, September 12, with an update on the cusp of the Super Mario Bros’ 40th anniversary.
The livestream begins at 2pm UK time, and will run for about an hour.
This marks the first full Nintendo Direct of the Switch 2 era. The only broadcast so far this year was a third-party partner showcase over the summer.
The Switch 2 was released in June 2025, with games such as Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza dominating the initial launch sales.
Fans are hoping for updates on Nintendo’s 2025 lineup, with Metroid Prime 4: Beyond still without a release date.
Dates are also pending for major third-party titles like Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade and Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition; it’s rumoured that the latter has been struggling with performance issues, with the Switch 2 still far behind the current generation of games consoles in terms of hardware.
In terms of timing, the Super Mario Bros series turns 40 this year, and speculation is building that Nintendo may mark the milestone with new announcements.
While a remake of the game is unlikely, it could be gifted to players via Nintendo’s store, or they may simply bring some cosmetic items to the fray.
