Watch the September 2023 Nintendo Direct here
Catch Nintendo's latest showcase for games coming to the Switch this winter.
After some intense speculation about whether it would happen or not, it’s finally time for the September 2023 Nintendo Direct. Announced just yesterday, the digital showcase will highlight multiple games coming to the Switch in the near future. Nintendo’s September events are can’t-miss presentations, so we’ll show you how to tune in.
Watch the September 2023 Nintendo Direct
The September 2023 Nintendo Direct is happening today at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET. You can watch it on the Nintendo YouTube channel, where it will also be uploaded as a VOD after its conclusion. You can also stay right here and watch the Direct using the video embed above.
The Nintendo Direct will last for 40 minutes, the company confirmed. Nintendo also stated that the games featured during the showcase will be available on Switch this winter, meaning it won’t be long until they hit the hybrid console. As for what specific titles to expect, Super Mario Bros. Wonder is probably a given. Last year’s September Direct featured Pikmin 4, Tears of the Kingdom gameplay, and Kirby’s Return to Dreamland Deluxe.
That’s how you can tune into the September 2023 Nintendo Direct. It’ll likely be a packed showcase, so make sure you come back to Shacknews to get a recap of all the news and announcements on our Nintendo topic page.

Focusing on Nintendo games being released this winter so no switch2 announcement I'd assume. Maybe F-Zero, Donkey Kong, and potentially some HD remakes of Zelda games?? -

I thought the same thing. Everything I've read makes clear though that this is just a demo and not necessarily something that they ship. They also make clear that the most impressive thing is load times under one second. Its basically Nintendo's version of the Spider-Man comparison between PS4 and PS5 from a couple years ago.
Anyway, we'll see! -

Re: FF7 Remake, I'm going to assume that pixel peeping side-by-side comparisons will show very clear differences next to a PS5. Without a side-by-side comparison I'm also assuming that the Switch 2 output still looks great with DLSS, very close at least.
Something as performant as a PS4 with Nvidia's modern hardware features sounds absolutely killer.-
dlss is going to be key for nintendo's next switch console i think. it's got to at least sorta compete with the ps5/xsx or at least not look like it's a decade behind and there's no way to shove that much power into a tiny little handheld, but dlss can help fill that gap
also please yes little to no load times, my tolerance for load times is so, so low now!!-
This will be a serious demonstration of Nvidia's technology if it has better image quality, performance, and capabilities than a Steam Deck while allowing for a much smaller form factor and better heat/power consumption.
Even the next AMD APUs that go into whatever follows the Deck and Ally will have a difficult time competing on all of those axis.

Cross-compatibility is supposed to be a thing like with DS to 3DS. Makes sense too, there's nothing like a new chip foundation to go to (PPC to ARM or PPC to x86), no changing of storage formats from optical to solid state, etc. Even if the carts were a slightly different size or pin configuration they can still manage compatibility like they did with GBA and 3DS.
Even the DS did it with a separate GBA port but I think that's the last time we'll ever see such a goofy change in cartridge size.
I just assume that forwards compatibility will be a permanent thing with all platforms now that everyone has settled on x86/ARM and PPC is dead and buried.-
Wild guess for cross-gen is that Metroid Prime 4 will be cross-platform but look WAY better on Switch 2, while the next 3D Mario game straight up won't work on Switch and be next-gen only.
If the next 3D Mario is cross-platform then it won't be as ambitious as I'm assuming, but Bowser's Fury was already pushing the Switch very hard and I can't assume that they won't hold back for the next one.-

Cross-gen happened between 360/PS3 and XB1/PS4 for years, major games like Alien Isolation, MGS5, Rise Of The Tomb Raider, CoD, Battlefield, EA sports games, etc, and that's with the change from PPC to x86. Cross-gen is still happening for PS4 and Xbox One a decade later.
I don't think Switch is going to be getting everything through 2027 but it'll be getting enough since there's money to be made. I do think cutoffs will be things like the next 3D Mario if its too heavy for the Switch, but we'll see.
