Starting Time for Nintendo Direct

A Tradition of September Directs
Nintendo’s September Directs have been a consistent feature on their annual calendar for many years. With the exception of 2015, a Nintendo Direct has been held every year since 2012, focusing on upcoming releases from Nintendo. Currently, Nintendo has two major game releases lined up for October, making it a bustling month. Detective Pikachu Returns is set to launch on October 6, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder, which recently had its own dedicated Direct, is slated for an October 20 release.
Beyond these flagship franchises, there are whispers of two other beloved IPs making an appearance in the September Direct. Nintendo insider Pyoro, known for accurate leaks, has hinted at the potential revival of F-Zero.
Pyoro posted a cryptic clue on Friday: “Let’s just say fans of a certain MATLAB function will be happy with the upcoming Direct.” In essence, this tweet subtly alludes to a programming and numeric computing platform developed by Mathworks for data analysis, algorithm development, and model creation.
This platform also features an “fzero” function, fueling speculation about F-Zero’s return on the Switch, nearly two decades after the last entry in the series, F-Zero Climax for the Game Boy Advance.
