Nintendo Direct: today there will be a new event with news about a highly anticipated project, but it’s not Switch 2

Nintendo fans have an important date today, as the company confirmed a new Direct that will take place in just a few hours. The event will offer news about a highly anticipated project that has been in development for several years; however, it’s best if players don’t get overly excited, as it’s not Switch 2.

Through their social media, Nintendo announced a Direct focused on Super Nintendo World, its theme park that has been a resounding success in Japan and the United States. The company has exciting news to share that will undoubtedly thrill fans of Donkey Kong Country.

When and what will the Super Nintendo World Direct offer?

As we mentioned, we are just a few hours away from the Super Nintendo World Direct, which will air today, November 11, in the afternoon. Specifically, the event will start at 2:00 PM PT.

It will be available on Nintendo’s official channel on YouTube. We know it will have an approximate duration of 10 minutes and will focus on the new park area themed around Donkey Kong Country.

It’s almost certain that the Direct will give us a first look at the attractions in this section, which will open at Universal Studios Japan, although the exact date is yet to be confirmed. Nintendo has clarified that there will be no announcements related to Switch games.

Obviously, this also won’t be the event to reveal the Switch 2, so it’s best to keep our expectations in check. For now, Nintendo has not confirmed a regular Direct with new game announcements or information about their upcoming console.

What is Super Nintendo World?

Super Nintendo World is a theme park that, for now, offers Super Mario Bros attractions. Currently, it has locations in Japan and the United States, but Nintendo is already working on bringing it to more countries. This project is very important for the company as it is part of their strategy for diversification and expansion.

The park not only attracts Nintendo fans but also introduces its franchises to new audiences, helping to strengthen the brand’s impact. Its new themed area will be Donkey Kong Country, and in the future, other important franchises, such as The Legend of Zelda, are expected to have their own areas.
