Next Big Nintendo Direct Won't Be Broadcast Everywhere To Mourn The Queen - Kotaku

Soothsayer Jeff Grubb very correctly called the Direct as happening “the week of the 12th,” back in August. VGC then reported it was further verified for Tuesday 13th by Nintendo inside Emily Rogers.

Grubb went on to protect a “Zelda blow-out” for the Direct, suggesting we might finally get word on Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, both long-rumored to be in re-development at Nintendo, with some even suggesting they’ve been finished and ready to ship for a long while now.

Metroid Prime 4 is perhaps more of a long-shot, given how many iterations and developers that poor game seems to be going through. But solid word on it would be so good.

Don’t hold your Breath of the Wild 2, of course, since it seems far more likely that’ll be held back for 2023 reveals, but with Splatoon 3 out on the shelves, and Pokémons Scarlet and Violet taken care of in their own Directs, maybe they’ll at least give us a tease?

Meanwhile, in completely barmy news, this Nintendo Direct will not be simultaneously streamed all around the world, because...Nintendo UK have announced they won’t be streaming it via their YouTube channel as a “mark of respect,” to Her Majesty the Queen. We Brits are, I’m told, in a “period of national mourning,” and as such the streaming of a video that’s available in the country by nineteen other methods would be like spitting on her grave.

They’ll still post it to their YouTube channel an hour later, though. Because, as we all know, Queen Elizabeth II, the world’s biggest Nintendo fan, hated livestreaming, but was a huge fan of previously uploaded YouTube videos Anything else would be so disrespectful. Please, as your resident British reporter, let me tell you that barely anyone here gives a shit. This is full on lunacy.

Anyway, if you want to dance on the Queen’s unburied coffin, you can watch the Direct via Nintendo’s YouTube channel and one second ahead via their Twitch. It starts at 10 a.m. ET, or 7 a.m. PT.
