After months without big news, Nintendo is now hosting a brand new Nintendo Direct. The presentation will likely include all the versions of big games from the Japanese company that will arrive on the Switch in 2021.
According to Nintendo, the live event will last around 50 minutes in total. This likely means there will be a series of large announcements or revelations as it is unusual for Nintendo Direct to be this long.
While there is little concrete information on what Nintendo Direct will include, the company has confirmed that there will be news on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This is almost certainly the last character to join the game’s roster.
However, 2021 also marks the anniversaries of several major Nintendo series. Pokémon, The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid are all celebrating great milestones this year. This could mean that there may be information on upcoming releases related to those franchises, such as the confirmation of Metroid Prime 4.
In terms of Pokémon, fans will likely take an in-depth look at New Pokémon Snap and the potential future DLC for Pokémon Sword and Shield. The company may also confirm further remakes, such as for Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
The Legend of Zelda is arguably the biggest Nintendo series outside of Super Mario and is also celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2021. Nintendo went all out for Mario’s birthday, suggesting that the action-adventure series could receive a similar treatment. This could include everything from a remastered collection like Super Mario 3D All-Stars to more Breath of the Wild 2 news.
Fans can tune in to watch the Nintendo Direct live stream at 2pm PT / 5pm ET / 10pm GMT at the YouTube link embedded above.
You can also access live streaming via the Nintendo Direct site and on Twitch.
