- Quick Answer: Nintendo will host back-to-back showcases: a Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct on September 8 and a main Nintendo Direct on September 9.
After much speculation, Nintendo has confirmed the date of their next Direct showcase.
During the last week of August, leaks of Just Dance: Decades of Hits took the internet by storm. Ubisoft was forced to release a statement and hinted at a reveal on September 10. This caused people to speculate that this was the date of the next Nintendo Direct, as Just Dance has historically been part of the September Direct for years.
Now, Nintendo has given a concrete date - as well as announcing a surprise double showcase.
Nintendo Announces Two Directs

The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct will be held on September 8 at 7:00 AM PT (or 10:00 AM ET). According to the announcement, this presentation will take approximately 30 minutes.

While the event details have yet to be revealed, we'll likely hear more news about the upcoming Ocarina of Time Remake. Before the announcement, retailers accidentally leaked the possibility of an Ocarina of Time Remake Collector's Edition.
On the other hand, the general Nintendo Direct will be held a day later, on September 9 at 7:00 AM PT (or 10:00 AM ET). It's currently unknown what games will be revealed during the Direct, though the show will take around 45 minutes. The Nintendo Treehouse: Live will kick off immediately after the Direct, in which we will see gameplay of some of the biggest games announced from both Directs.
