What to expect during the latest Nintendo Direct?

The new Nintendo Direct presentation will be last for around 40 minutes and is a split affair, covering both big releases from Nintendo's partners and indie titles from smaller teams.

The Indie World segment will be first and then followed by the full Direct showcase.

Sadly, Nintendo has stressed that there will be "no mention" of the Nintendo Switch 2 (or whatever it turns out to be called). The console will not be available this year , so we're unlikely to hear any more on it until next spring.

But, if you own a Nintendo Switch already – including the Switch OLED and Switch Lite – there will still be plenty of reasons to get excited about today's presentation.
