Nintendo is bucking the September tradition and hosting an August 2024 Nintendo Direct all about upcoming Switch games – and an Indie World

August 2024 Nintendo Direct time and where to watch

The big Nintendo Direct usually doesn’t happen until September, but this year the Mario maker is sneaking out a slightly smaller showcase at the tail end of August for indie and third-party games. Does that mean we’re getting the official reveal of the Switch 2 next month instead?

Surprise! This Might Be The Last Nintendo Direct Before We Hear About The Switch 2

There were quite a few surprising reveals at the Nintendo Direct Partner’s Showcase, but the reveal of Yakuza Kiwami might be the most shocking of them all! Why is that? Simply put, while the franchise, which now goes under a new Dragon-style moniker, is one of Sega’s most successful series, it has never graced Nintendo platforms in the past. Part of the reason for that was the M-rating and the nature of the games themselves. More specifically, the “Underworld” storyline and the characters you’re playing as. However, clearly, those barriers have been broken down if Sega ported and remastered the beginning of the story for the popular console.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.
