Nintendo just announced two Direct events for next week , scheduled back to back. First up is the Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct on September 8th at 10AM ET / 7AM PT. It’s set to last around 30 minutes, streaming live on Nintendo’s YouTube channel or the Nintendo Today app.
Images recently leaked showing a special-edition 40th anniversary Zelda Switch 2 console and controller, plus there’s the Ocarina of Time remake that’s on the way, as well as the live-action Zelda movie expected to hit theaters sometime next year.
The next day, Nintendo is also running a regular Direct showcase at 10AM ET / 7AM PT that will run for around 45 minutes, focusing on Switch 2 games that will launch this winter, followed by a Nintendo Treehouse livestream with gameplay. These events usually include a preview of upcoming Nintendo Classics library additions too, but there’s no word on which games will be featured. Now that the Switch 2 costs an extra $50 , which games do you think would help justify the higher price ?
