The program will last a whole hour, which hints at many announcements. The presentation will feature not only projects from Nintendo, but also games from external partners. For many players, this is a chance to find out which projects will become the drivers of sales for Switch 2 and the current generation of consoles.
The intrigue is heightened by leaks. According to the latest data, a new game in the Mario series may be revealed at Nintendo Direct. VGC journalist Andy Robinson was the first to talk about the upcoming news, and then the host of the YouTube channel SwitchForce added: "They buy new consoles for the sake of mustaches." Fans understand very well that Mario remains the most recognizable symbol of Nintendo.
The question is, isn't it time for a new Mario adventure? The occasion is special: on Saturday, Nintendo celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Super Mario series. The anniversary seems to require a grand premiere.
Note that there have recently been rumors of a special collection of Mario 2D games prepared for the anniversary.
