It's the end of August 2024. A TV weather forecaster mentioned that the peak of summer has passed, didn't they?
Time has flown, and those of you working are probably back to your usual daily routines. For students, summer vacation is almost over. In some regions, the new school term has already begun.
It's natural to feel a little melancholic after a long break, but you can shake off such feelings by looking forward to future enjoyments!
Yes, for us game fans, that means new information about games!
Recently, topics in the fighting game community have also been prominent. While the "Tokyo Game Show" is certainly a highlight in September after summer vacation, "Nintendo Direct" broadcasts have also become a familiar event around this time in recent years.
Usually, it's scheduled for the week before the Tokyo Game Show, but this year, it has been decided for an irregular timing!
And it will be a double feature: a Partner Showcase and an Indie World!
超大ボリューム!「Nintendo Direct 2023.9.14」で発表された情報まとめ!
Two Consecutive Broadcasts Starting at 11:00 PM JST on August 27!
It has been decided that "Indie World Showcase + Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase 8.27.2024" will be broadcast live starting at 11:00 PM JST on Tuesday, August 27, 2024!
This time, it's a luxurious double feature, continuously live streaming Indie World, which introduces indie titles scheduled for release on Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, which introduces titles from software publishers!
The broadcast will be a generous approximately 40 minutes, so it seems quite a few titles will be introduced.
This time, again, there will be no announcement regarding a successor to the Nintendo Switch. The official statement says there isn't one, so there isn't!
Nonetheless, in recent years, Nintendo Direct has been broadcast in mid-September, but this time, broadcasting a Partner Showcase and an Indie World at the end of August is quite irregular, isn't it?
By the way, the last Partner Showcase was in February 2024, and Indie World was in April 2024.
Of course, this broadcast will also be highly anticipated, but it also makes us wonder if a separate Nintendo Direct will be broadcast, or if there will be no Nintendo Direct at this time of year.
In any case, many popular titles will likely be announced at "Indie World Showcase + Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase 8.27.2024," so please consider watching it in real-time!
Please check the Official Nintendo YouTube Channel and the Nintendo homepage for the broadcast URLs!
