The Awaited Nintendo Direct is Finally Here!

Nintendo fans, get ready! The long-awaited Nintendo Direct is just a few hours away. This is the first full Direct since September 2019 and it promises to be packed with information. The stream will run for 50 minutes and will reveal exciting details about “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate” and other games coming in the first half of 2021.

Where to Watch

The Direct is scheduled to start at 4pm CT and will be available on Nintendo’s official YouTube channel and Twitch. You can set a reminder on YouTube to make sure you don’t miss it!

While Smash had a great 2020 with the release of new characters like Byleth from “Fire Emblem: Three Houses,” Steve from “Minecraft,” Min Min from “ARMS,” and Sephiroth from “Final Fantasy VII,” the game’s roster is not yet complete. There are still three spots left in the second Fighters Pass, and fans are eager to find out who will fill them. The upcoming Direct might just give us a glimpse or a big reveal!

What’s Next for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?

Many fans are wondering which DLC fighter will be unveiled during today’s Nintendo Direct. Who could join the already iconic roster of fighters? The speculation is at its peak!

In yesterday’s announcement, Nintendo didn’t mention any other series that will be featured in the Direct. However, viewers are eagerly hoping for appearances of potential first-party titles. Fans of “Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” have been patiently waiting for the sequel, and it would be a thrilling end to the Direct if it gets revealed. Additionally, the Pokémon series might also make an appearance with gameplay footage of the upcoming “Pokémon Snap” or an announcement of a sequel to the popular Nintendo 3DS game “Detective Pikachu,” as hinted by the company in the past.

Make sure to tune in to Nintendo’s official YouTube channel or Twitch to catch all the exciting news and updates. It’s going to be a Direct you won’t want to miss!
