Nintendo Direct September 2026 live coverage – all the leaks and rumors on the build-up to the showcase
We've seen plenty of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake; now it's time to see what else Nintendo is cooking
The latest Nintendo Direct is nearly here, so we're firing up the old live blog to cover all the leaks and rumors ahead of the event itself, where we'll see what actually sticks during the showcase itself.
Mind you, the fact we're having a Nintendo Direct today feels a bit odd. It was only yesterday, after all, that we were getting the latest on The Legend of Zelda, including the Ocarina of Time remake, which now has a release date. So, that rules out one series we won't be seeing today, but thankfully, there's plenty more to get into.
Naturally, we'll have to wait for the showcase itself to see what's actually revealed, but there have been rumors, there have been whispers. So, once you get clued up on how to watch the Nintendo Direct, let's get into it.

Of course, it wasn't just a release date we got. Nintendo showcased some gameplay for the first time, and boy is there plenty to talk about.
First up, Nintendo is adding some neat quality-of-life additions to the Ocarina of Time. Not only can you move the camera around at will, but you can also jump and basically sprint after a roll so you don't have to spam the action anymore.
Now, I know this all feels like standard stuff you'd see in games today, but back in the era of the Nintendo 64? No, sir.
First up, let's get you caught up on what happened yesterday. The main attraction was undoubtedly The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, which got a good showing and a release date.
In short, the game is coming out in November, which makes for an interesting month as that's when GTA 6 is finally due to release. There are other releases, too, of course, but plenty have shifted to get out of the way of Rockstar's behemoth, so watch that space.
And away we go! We've still got a few hours until the Nintendo Direct starts proper, but there's plenty to get into, so let's get rolling.
