Nintendo has just confirmed that the next Nintendo Direct digital event will be held tomorrow, Tuesday, September 13. The live stream of the event will start at 7 am PT / 3 pm BST and will consist of about 40 minutes of content focused primarily on Nintendo Switch games that are dropping this winter, which may include Zelda and Metroid remasters.
It has also been confirmed that, since the unfortunate passing of Queen Elizabeth II, Nintendo UK will not be holding the online event as a mark of respect.
Many reports of the last month have led us to expect certain things from the September Nintendo Direct. Some of the reports suggested that Nintendo will announce remasters for Zelda and Metroid Prime.
Tune in at 7 a.m. PT tomorrow, 9/13, for a #NintendoDirect livestream featuring roughly 40 minutes of information mostly focused on #NintendoSwitch games launching this winter.

Expectations From September’s Nintendo Direct
Mike Minotti, the managing editor at GamesBeat, and Grubb confirmed in the past that Zelda and Metroid ports will be parts of this Nintendo Direct in September. The latter said recently that he still believes this to be the case.
He said that they’ve heard that Zelda will hopefully be present at September’s Nintendo Direct, and in more ways than one. Not only will the aforementioned remasters from the Wii U will be present, but the new upcoming Zelda game will also get its official name.
As for Metroid Prime remasters, they should be coming out by the end of the year, so information about those is also likely. There are other expected games as well, like Fire Emblem, that have been rumored for a while but may or may not be present at the event.
He finished by saying:
“It should be a pretty robust Direct and I’m looking forward to it.”
Past Zelda games like Twilight Princess and Wind Waker have already gotten remasters on the Wii U and are among the few last-gen Nintendo games that have not made their way onto the Switch.
Metroid Prime remasters have reportedly been on the way for years now, with one leaker saying that last November marked the day the remaster was completed.
