We'll be covering all of the major announcements as they happen.
June 5, 2019
On the morning of June 5, 2019 Nintendo will have its next video presentation. You can follow along live at 9AM Eastern.
This 15-minute presentation will reveal new information about Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield - the Gen 8 Pokémon games headed to the Nintendo Switch. We've got plenty of questions we want answered. When will the games release? What will the legendary Pokémon look like? What are the starters' secondary types? We may or may not get these answers, but either way we're excited for any new information we can get.
May 15, 2019
Nintendo's next video presentation will take place May 15, 2019. You can follow along live at 6PM Eastern.
The presentation focuses on the new Super Mario Maker 2 game for Nintendo Switch and will last roughly 15 minutes. There are plenty of things fans want to learn about the new sandbox game. What amiibo will work with Super Mario Maker 2? What mechanics and editing options have been added since the last game in the series? With any luck, we'll get some answers. Either way, we're excited to hear what Nintendo has to say.
We'll update iMore with the details once we learn what Nintendo has revealed, so check back tomorrow to learn more.
March 20, 2019
Nintendo wants to take the oppportunity during GDC week to talk about the Nindie scene. The company has announced a new Nindies Showcase broadcast for March 20.
The show will be all about new indie games coming to Nintendo Switch. There will be 30 minutes of new video game talk from 12PM Eastern. There's no telling what to expect from a showcase featuring such a diverse cast of developers, so we'll opt not to expend our energy on speculatory matters. You can tune into the live stream at Nintendo's site once the calender rolls over.
February 27, 2019
Surprise! What we have next technically isn't a Nintendo Direct, but a Pokémon Direct, but considering Nintendo is part owner of the Pokemon franchise we'd say there's reason for us Switch gamers to take notice.
We didn't get much time to play the guessing game as the Direct will take place on February 27. It's a 7-minute presentation that runs from 6AM Pacific, or 9AM Eastern. That's pretty early, but you know we'll be up for it.
The only question that remains: what's the big announcement? We know that a new mainline Pokémon game is in the works and that it was originally set to launch later this year. Our hope is that we'll be getting more details on what that will look like.
Elsehwere, we could hear about new stuff in Pokémon GO, something new about the Detective Pikachu movie, and maybe even get some content updates for the Pokémon: Let's Go games. It could be something brand new entirely.
With just seven minutes to talk about it, we won't hold our breath for too much, but we're certainly interested in whatever it is The Pokémon Company has in store for us. Look for the details to hit iMore when they're made available tomorrow.
February 13, 2019
Tune in 2/13 at 2pm PT for a Nintendo Direct featuring around 35 minutes of information on upcoming #NintendoSwitch titles, including new details on #FireEmblem Three Houses!https://t.co/d1Xx3bUMG0 pic.twitter.com/dExyWiigBr
— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) February 12, 2019
Nintendo is ready to dazzle us with yet another series of announcements. The next Nintendo Direct has been scheduled for February 13, 2019, and you can follow along live at 5PM Eastern.
Expect to carve out about 35 minutes out of your day to check it out. Nintendo even dropped a hint of what they'd be talking about. New information on some of the company's upcoming Switch titles will be on tap, including new details about Fire Emblem Three Houses.
Can't make it? We'll be updating you with all that's announced, so feel free to circle back to iMore for all the juicy details after it concludes. For those able to watch, you'll want to be at Nintendo's website once the time comes.
October 30, 2018
Nintendo has announced a new Nintendo Direct presentation that will air on Thursday, November 1 at 10AM Eastern (that's 7AM Pacific, folks). And we don't have to wonder and guess about what's in store, either: Nintendo has already confirmed that this Direct — which runs about 40 minutes long — will be entirely focused on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and that it'll be the final such presentation before the game's launch.
Nintendo wasn't particularly revealing about what, exactly, the Direct would cover, but considering we've already been drip-fed a ton of information to date, we can take a pretty safe guess. For one, we know that the final roster hasn't been set, so we expect to hear about a few more characters Nintendo has up its sleeve.
One character we've been waiting to hear about is Waluigi, who has been the prime subject of many-a fan protests over the past several months. Passionate fans have taken to social media practically begging Nintendo to put the beloved character in the game, including several cosplay gatherings in support of his appearance.
Paging @DiscoD. #PAXAus pic.twitter.com/AblfsPXpuc
— Kiko Villaseñor (@thekiko) October 27, 2018
Nintendo has previously acknowledged the fan cry for Waluigi, but the company still hasn't confirmed much. We haven't even gotten as much as a tease or a hint about his status either way, so folks will certainly be throwing one last prayer into the skies ahead of the presentation.
We're also waiting to hear more about a mystery mode that was revealed in the main menu during one of the previous Nintendo Direct presentations. Internet sleuths eventually uncovered the mode's name as "Spirits." Some speculate it is a new single-player campaign for the game, but without much information to go on it's anyone's guess.
Be sure to wake up bright and early on November 1 to learn about all that's new, and then stay a while after for a special Nintendo Treehouse Live presentation where we'll see more gameplay of Super Smash Bros., Diablo 3: Eternal Collection, Pokémon Let's Go!, and more. You can follow along on Youtube, Twitch, or Nintendo's own website.

Nintendo Direct: The waiting game
As of yet, we have no confirmed date in regard to when the next Nintendo Direct will be coming. That being said, rumors abound. A poster on 4Chan got everyone in a tizzy when they told us that there would be a new Nintendo Direct on July 22, but that day has come and gone without a peep so we can safely assume that it was nothing more than talk. At this point, we are going to have to hope that we have a new Nintendo Direct in the pipeline for August.
Earlier in July, Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima had a few interesting things to say at a shareholders meeting where he let loose with a tantalizing little piece of information. It seems as if Nintendo has yet to fully divulge it's entire 2018 lineup for the Nintendo Switch. If this is the case, we could be looking down the barrel of a pretty exciting Nintendo Direct, when it comes.

When is the next Nintendo Direct?
Nintendo doesn't give out information for the Direct videos in advance, but there is a pattern that seems to be happening with these videos. Every month, around the first week, they send out a video to update on the smaller games and what updates producers have put out. The big videos that highlight new games and big updates tend to come out every three to five months. Make sure to keep an eye open for the next Nintendo Direct within the coming weeks.
