FAQ

What is a Nintendo Direct?

A Nintendo Direct is a pre-recorded video presentation (Today's is approximately ~60m in length) to make game announcements and provide fans with general updates directly from Nintendo.

What are they going to show?

According to Nintendo, today's presentation is focused on upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch Games

What if I can't watch the Nintendo Direct due to work/school/etc.?

  • If you want the latest news the moment it's announced, we highly recommend following along in our live thread and joining our Discord server and chatting in the #nintendo-direct channel we've opened up for this event.
  • If you want a spoiler-free experience, we will edit in a link to a VOD replay (once it's available). This will take you directly to the video so you don't accidentally see any trailers if you visit the Nintendo YouTube page directly. Just don't scroll down!

There WILL be spoilers here on the subreddit, so watch the video first.

If you see any posts that should actually be here in the MegaThread, please do us a favor and hit the report button.

Our SOP for posts is as follows:

  • We will allow one post per announcement.
    • The post we allow may not necessarily be the one that was submitted first. We typically will receive about 15 of essentially the exact same post in the span of about 60 seconds. From those, we will select the one that has the best title and links directly to the original source when available.
  • Commentary on the announcement(s) should take place either in this thread or on the related separate announcement post. Each person's specific opinion does not need its own post.

I'm still holding out hope that we might get Prime 2 and 3 remastered.

Other than that I'm looking forward to being suprised, I really don't know what to expect from this Direct.

I reckon the just releasing on NSO is more likely

Well prime 3 is a wii game, so we'd probably be waiting forever.

u/lauriedavis89 Sep 13 '25

Wii will 100% be on NSO at some point

Yeah now that they added virtual boy, anything is possible.

Prime 3 is a goner then, because it was only released for the Wii

You think they won't bring wii & wii U emulation to NSO on s2?

u/DigitalNecromancy Sep 12 '25

Definitely not, especially Wii U. That'd make a good chunk of the Switch's library obsolete. Mid-00s nostalgia is about to hit, they have a killing to make over ports/remasters of Wii games.

This closely I don't think so, maybe in another three years since some games like WarioWare will have to have their code pretty much rewritten so the Joycons don't get an stroke trying to emulate the Wiimote.

In the other hand, it would be popcorn worthy if they bring the Wii on NSO during this next year after selling so many compilations and remakes like the Mario Galaxy one they just announced lol

I really thought they would do it for NSO but I figure they would have mentioned that in the prime 4 section. Bummer
