Each Nintendo Direct is a must-see event by Switch owners and the latest is almost here!
It will be streamed online today, Tuesday 27 August 2024, and is a bumper edition, coming off the back of the recent Gamescom show. It'll showcase Nintendo Switch games from the Japanese gaming giant's partners and indie developers. Sadly, there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch 2, but there'll be plenty more besides. You can watch it below.

What to expect during the latest Nintendo Direct?
The new Nintendo Direct presentation will be last for around 40 minutes and is a split affair, covering both big releases from Nintendo's partners and indie titles from smaller teams.
The Indie World segment will be first and then followed by the full Direct showcase.
Sadly, Nintendo has stressed that there will be "no mention" of the Nintendo Switch 2 (or whatever it turns out to be called). The console will not be available this year, so we're unlikely to hear any more on it until next spring.
But, if you own a Nintendo Switch already – including the Switch OLED and Switch Lite – there will still be plenty of reasons to get excited about today's presentation.
