Last week, Nintendo made another announcement that had nothing to do with the long-awaited Switch Pro revision we’re all eagerly anticipating?
Nintendo may be pulling a clever stunt by keeping everyone guessing about the Switch 2’s release, while instead revealing a series of unexpected developments.
The Nintendo Direct began with the unexpected unveiling of an alarm clock, followed by the surprising announcement of a Xenoblade Chronicles X remaster. The presentation’s second half focused exclusively on Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan, offering insights into its design and features. While this development may not significantly impact many people’s daily routines, the introduction of a new rollercoaster in Donkey Kong Nation does warrant attention for those who appreciate theme park thrills.
This Tremendous Nintendo World Direct, a departure from traditional Nintendo Direct formats, will air in the US at 2pm PT/5pm ET today. Within the UK, the presentation will be available on-demand from November 12 at 8am. Alternatively, viewers can tune in to the US livestream, which starts at 10pm GMT. Perchance Nintendo reckoned that Donkey Kong was merely a tad too frightening to be the final image preceding bedtime. Who is aware of.
Nintendo’s primary objective remains unchanged: no unveiling of new video game titles, thereby quashing expectations of a fresh Zelda installment or similar announcements. In reality, it’s unlikely that the changes will be displayed here, nor is it reasonable to assume otherwise. Nintendo recently stated that they will disclose information about their upcoming console before the end of the current fiscal year, suggesting a possible reveal in the near future. By March 2025, perseverance will ultimately yield its rewards.
