Nintendo Direct Announced, But Its Not What You Think

Highlights

  • Nintendo Direct on August 19 will focus solely on the new Nintendo Museum, which could be disappointing for fans hoping for gaming news.
  • Nintendo has confirmed that no game or console updates will be coming during this Direct, leaving fans eagerly awaiting future announcements.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of Nintendo fandom under my belt, I must say, this upcoming Nintendo Direct has left me feeling like a kid on Christmas morning who woke up to find only socks and a toothbrush under the tree.


Nintendo has officially announced that their upcoming Nintendo Direct presentation is set for August 19. Contrary to expectations, this particular event won’t unveil any new games or console updates; instead, it will solely highlight the latest developments regarding the new Nintendo Museum. Despite the anticipation among fans for news about Nintendo’s next major game releases, it appears they’ll have to stay patient a bit longer for a Direct centered around gaming announcements.

2023 saw the initial announcement of the first-ever Nintendo Museum, which has ignited curiosity worldwide among fans. Many eagerly anticipate a place where the rich history of Nintendo can be exhibited thoroughly. However, some enthusiasts have expressed mild disappointment upon receiving additional information about the museum’s progress.

The Twitter account of Nintendo America officially announced an upcoming Nintendo Direct, which will offer a virtual tour of the soon-to-open Nintendo Museum. Many enthusiasts got excited when they noticed the “#NintendoDirect” hashtag trending, but their excitement was dampened as it became clear that this Direct will only focus on the Nintendo Museum. Nintendo clarified in subsequent tweets that there won’t be any game announcements or news about the Nintendo Switch successor during the event. Fans eager to learn more about the opening of the Nintendo Museum can tune in on August 19 at 3pm PT for additional details regarding the Kyoto experience.

August 19 Nintendo Direct Will Not Include Game Or Console Announcements

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the next Nintendo Direct since June 18, 2024. However, it appears that the August 19 broadcast might not be all about new game titles and console updates. With the upcoming releases of “Super Mario Party Jamboree” and “Mario & Luigi: Brothership” set for Q2 2024, there’s already a stacked lineup of exciting games to anticipate. The rumor mill is churning with speculations about potential additional Directs before the year ends, but Nintendo hasn’t given any hints yet about how many more big announcements we might see.

Unlike many other AAA developers who save their major unveilings for yearly video game events, Nintendo frequently holds multiple Nintendo Directs throughout the year. These can encompass everything from showcasing popular titles to offering an impromptu tour of the Nintendo Museum. Therefore, gamers eagerly await updates on upcoming Nintendo Directs and announcements.
