Gamers have just been treated to an hour's worth of exciting reveals and announcements as part of the latest Nintendo Direct.
From major updates on games for both the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, to surprises that nobody saw coming, the showcase provided yet another look at the company's ambitious plans for the rest of 2025 and beyond.
With that said, there's plenty to get through, so let's take a look at everything that was announced during the September 2025 Nintendo Direct!
Nintendo Direct Roundup (Sept 2025)
The longest-ever Nintendo Direct has just taken place, sharing several pieces of information that Gamers have been waiting for.
Considering the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. is this weekend, expectations heading into this particular Direct were high, and it certainly didn't disappoint.
Here are some of the main takeaways from the showcase, starting with Mario's birthday celebrations:
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
That's right, Mario is getting a brand new film! The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is coming to theaters in April 2026. Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, and Kevin Michael Richardson will be returning to reprise their roles from The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2
Super Mario Galaxy ports are coming! Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 are making their way to Switch (and Switch 2 by extension) on October 2. Both will have physical and digital editions.
Mario Tennis Fever
A new Mario sports game? Yes please. Mario Tennis Fever launches physically and digitally on February 12, 2026. It will feature a story mode where every character turns into a baby (yes, really). There will also be a mode featuring a talking flower commentator. That's pretty neat.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder Switch 2 Edition
Super Mario Wonder is getting its very own edition for the Nintendo Switch 2, featuring the new Meetup in Bellabell Park DLC. The expansion comes with a new map and even some new modes. Releasing in Spring 2026.
Yoshi and the Mysterious Book
That's enough about Mario; Yoshi is getting his own game! Yoshi and the Mysterious Book will see the beloved character team up with flowers to unlock and uncover new paths that dive deeper into Yoshi's island, revealing more about the mysterious Mr. Encyclopedia in the process. Releasing in Spring 2026.
Nintendo Direct Switch 1 Announcements
Storm Lancers
Storm Lancers, an indie rogue-like game, is launching on Nintendo Switch today. Players can blast their way through the campaign in either solo mode or couch co-op. There also appears to be a nice mix of platforming and boss fights, so we imagine it will be a hit with fans of the genre.
Dinkum
Anyone for a new farming game? Dinkum features co-op and a curious-looking world inspired by the Australian outback (minus the spiders, we hope!) Players can upgrade their towns, chat with NPCs, and get up to much more from November 5.
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream
We finally have a confirmed release date for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. Mark your calendars for Spring 2026, folks! Additionally, new footage of the game showcased a detailed character creator and a variety of activities that the Miis can take part in.
Nintendo Direct Switch 2 Announcements
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
Boy, do they know how to tease us over at Nintendo! Footage of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond was shown during the Direct. We know that Samus now has a bike, and there appears to be a huge open-world desert awaiting players. What about the release date? I hear you ask. December 4, 2025.
Hades 2
During the Direct, we were treated to a cool new animated trailer for Hades 2. The indie roguelike is going to have a dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 edition that's capable of running at up to 120fps! Smooth. Hades 2 releases September 25.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
Some of the Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment's UI was teased during the Direct. Zonai devices will offer elemental effects, while Sync Strikes allow players to team up with an ally for powerful attacks. Split-screen co-op was also confirmed, allowing those intense battles to hit different. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment drops November 6.
Resident Evil Requiem
A new heart-pounding trailer for Resident Evil Requiem was showcased during the Direct. First and third-person gameplay snippets were shown alongside what appeared to be the main antagonist. Great, that's me not sleeping tonight. Releasing exclusively on Switch 2 on 27 February, 2026.
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave
The Direct ended with the reveal of a brand new Fire Emblem game called Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. It's an anime real-time strategy experience which, based on the trailer, includes a deep, immersive story. It's set to release in 2026.
