"It appears that another new Nintendo Direct presentation might be just around the corner, giving us a look at some more indie titles and - hopefully - providing more information on the Nintendo Switch Online service.

The information comes from a close source of Nintendo Life - who also correctly informed us of the recent 2018 Indies Highlights presentation ahead of time. The Direct appears to be scheduled for 4pm PDT / 7pm EDT tomorrow (6th September), meaning midnight BST /1am CEST later that evening in Europe (or, technically, the next morning)."


I think they got their time slightly wrong. Last year's September Direct happened at 23:00 BEST / 00:00 CEST, I doubt they'll go one hour later this time.

Another Direct?? I hope the Sep 6th date is true. I'm hoping we don't have to go through another whole week of pure hype and speculation.

It's not an Indies direct, they just know the existence of the direct through Indies sources that are scheduled to appear.

Wow another indies-centric Direct?
Pretty disappointing if true.
That's not what it says

It's not an Indies direct, they just know the existence of the direct through Indies sources that are scheduled to appear.
That's not it either, what they're saying is that the source that is telling them about this direct is the same source that said there was gonna be a direct mini (which ended up being the indie highlights video)

The time is most likely wrong. Nintendo has never aired a Direct at 1am CEST before. They're probably one hour off. It's usually 23:00 in winter time and midnight in summer time.

Hmm ... i might be able to load the kids off to friends/grandparents ... but what to do with the wife? Nah ... i'll just rewatch it in the morning ... but i think the FEH update drops on that day too ... so i might be busy with that.

I'm going to stay up watching this and regret it while being full tired at work, am i?

This thread smells interesting

Well there has been some controversy about the body odors of Smash players, right?

Just because some indies will be there doesn't mean it's not a regular direct. Chill man.

Take a nap after work. That way you should be able to handle it ;)

What they state later in the article

Naturally, further details are unclear at the moment; while a selection of indie games are expected to appear, we can't help but wonder whether or not more details surrounding the Nintendo Switch Online will be present, too. After all, we're only weeks away from its release and we know worryingly little about it.

Also, since it's specifically mentioned it's a Nintendo Direct, not a Nindies Showcase / Indie Highlights, indies would only make part of the overall content.

Isn't that just speculation on their part? And we always get some indie games in a general direct.

I bet this is going to be a Mini Direct. Online service details, NSMBU, one or two third party ports, a couple indies. Maybe a quick first party tease for early next year.

Then a general Direct focusing on early 2019 in October or November.

Edit - apparently this airs later in the day, so probably not a Mini.

I think NSMBU was the best 'new' traditional 2D Mario game, but I also think if they are going to bring one of those over to Switch, it should have been Mario Maker
Though once you bring Mario Maker it nullifies the need for a NSMB game. Mario Maker would have been the better choice but I can see why they would do NSMB first.

Do you guys remember what time the Mini Direct aired in January? I think it was early morning.

General Directs are usually all over the place. They don't have a set time they show.

NSMB absolutely does not excite me in the slightest. We already had a lot of very high quality 2 D plateformers, and 3D world would have been a better choice in my opinion.
