Growing evidence continues to surface regarding a potential Nintendo Direct event scheduled for September 2025, with credible insiders now confirming that such a presentation is indeed in the works. Trusted sources have even identified specific dates when the next Nintendo Direct is most likely to occur, generating significant excitement within the gaming community.

On August 25th, reputable leaker SwitchForce initially revealed that Nintendo has plans for a September 2025 Direct event. The source specifically highlighted September 12th, a Friday—an unconventional choice given that Nintendo has traditionally avoided hosting major presentations on this particular day of the week.

Just six days following the initial report, veteran Nintendo insider NateTheHate—known for accurately leaking the Switch 2 announcement date earlier in 2025—publicly endorsed these rumors through social media channels. "Yes, there is a Nintendo Direct in September," he confirmed via X (formerly Twitter). Expanding on his statement, the insider indicated the event is scheduled for the second week of September, specifically between the 8th and 14th, with a more precise window around the 11th or 12th—either Thursday or Friday.

Nintendo's historical pattern of avoiding weekend events makes September 13th and 14th unlikely candidates for the upcoming Direct presentation, even without insider information. However, NateTheHate's suggestion of a potential Friday event carries substantial credibility, particularly since some enthusiasts had previously questioned SwitchForce's September 12th prediction due to its unconventional timing. It's worth noting that NateTheHate maintains an impressive accuracy record regarding Nintendo Direct leaks and rarely specifies exact dates, suggesting this information comes from particularly reliable channels.

Examining patterns from 2014 through 2024, only two years—2015 and 2024—passed without September Nintendo Direct events, making September 2025 a strong candidate for the next showcase. This timing becomes particularly significant as it coincides with the 40th anniversary of the iconic Super Mario franchise on September 13th, potentially setting the stage for special anniversary announcements. Recent rumors have suggested the development of a new Super Mario Bros. collection specifically for this milestone occasion. However, NateTheHate noted that he hasn't received any information regarding Super Mario anniversary-related reveals planned for the speculated mid-September Direct.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond represents another strong possibility for inclusion in the anticipated event. Nintendo has repeatedly confirmed that the highly anticipated title remains on track for a 2025 release. With three-quarters of the year already passed, the company will need to announce a specific launch window relatively soon to meet this target. While Nintendo could potentially surprise fans with a shadow drop release strategy for Metroid Prime 4, this approach seems unlikely for such a significant franchise installment—significant in terms of critical recognition, if not necessarily commercial performance.
