As the world awaits news on the Switch 2, Nintendo continues to troll fans with another Direct presentation on something completely unrelated. Ever since Nintendo confirmed its next console will be shown at some point before April 2025 , every new announcement from the company has come with added anticipation. Nintendo has resorted to putting disclaimers on subsequent Direct presentations to control expectations, but there’s been a string of surprises in recent months which has bordered on troll behaviour – including a museum, the Alarmo clock , a new music app , and a Switch port of Xenoblade Chronicles X .
The company has now announced a Direct presentation for something else completely separate from Nintendo’s Switch successor: a new area in the Super Nintendo World theme park. When is the next Nintendo Direct? The Super Nintendo World Direct is set to be streamed live today and will showcase the new Donkey Kong Country expansion coming to the theme park at Universal Studios Japan. It will span roughly 10 minutes, with the disclaimer that ‘no game information will be featured’.
You’ll be able to watch the stream live through Nintendo’s YouTube channels on Monday, November 11 at 10pm GMT in the UK , which translates to 2pm PT/5pm ET in the US. The Donkey Kong Country expansion was originally slated to open in spring this year, but it was delayed to late 2024 with no specific date. As such, it’s very likely this presentation will reveal an opening date, poten.
