Watch the Nintendo Direct September 13 livestream here

Catch the Nintendo Direct livestream to learn about Nintendo Switch games launching this winter.

41

It’s time to get excited because Nintendo is hosting another Nintendo Direct livestream today. This stream will focus on the games coming to the Nintendo Switch during winter and you can watch the announcements live as they happen right here on Shacknews. Check out the video below!

Today’s Nintendo Direct livestream is scheduled to begin at 7:00 a.m. PT / 10:00 a.m. ET on September 13, 2022. The stream is set to last for roughly 40 minutes and will focus on the products Nintendo will be releasing on the Switch this winter (summer for those in the Southern Hemisphere).

While Nintendo hasn’t revealed what games will be highlighted in the stream, a look at the 2022 video game release date calendar gives us a hint at what we might see. There’s a good chance we’ll hear more about Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Bayonetta 3, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and Dragon Quest Treasures as all of these are due out before the end of the year.

Viewers might also expect to hear more about third-party games releasing on the Nintendo Switch during the last quarter of the year. One thing viewers should keep in mind is that, because this livestream is focused on games releasing toward the end of the year, we may not hear anything about upcoming titles releasing in 2023 and beyond – like Breath of the Wild 2.

No matter what’s announced today during the September 13 Nintendo Direct livestream, you’ll find plenty of coverage right here on Shacknews.

      Happy it’s nice and early today.

      Please announce a new Zelda remake that wasn’t on the WiiU!

      Also looking forward to a hopefully gameplay related BotW2 clip.

        They showed off a new Fire Emblem thing and now they're blowing through lots of games.

        I'm hoping they're getting this stuff out of the way for the bigger stuff in a minute.

      I played the snot out of that first Fire Emblem game on 3DS (not the first FE game, just the first one on 3DS) and thought it was great, but I'm like four or five games behind since I can never tell what the fuck the games are, they had like three come out at once as a sequel on 3DS and I didn't follow what the heck was going on there.

      Still I guess it's cool that Nintendo has multiple franchises like this one and Xenoblade where they disappear up their own ass with anime shit.

          September 13, 2022 8:24 AM

          You're asking if JRPGs are popular in Japan?

          I think the answer is

          a) Yes, because otherwise there wouldn't be like a ton of them and

          b) Seeing as how there were few Nintendo-developed games in this Nintendo Direct, I'm guessing it may have just been sort of a coincidence that they all lined up to be in the same segment at the same time.

          But man oh man they're indistinguishable. They're like hair bands in the 80's, you look at one and you don't know which one you're looking at.

        • reply
          September 13, 2022 8:29 AM

          If you're talking about the farming and life sim genre, yeah. They've been increasing in popularity in the last 10 years or so. The series that is known as Harvest Moon the US kind of set the bar, and it's evolved over time. No joke that Stardew Valley shook up the genre too. But also transitioning from older school of thinking has been a challenge for a lot of the established series in where to go next. I semi-follow this stuff because my wife enjoys several of these series. I was a little surprised she took to Rune Factory with it's focus a little more on combat than farming. She's really interested in that Harvestalia game that just dropped a demo.
