## Key points

- Zelda and general Nintendo Directs wrapped up this week's double showcase.
- Ocarina of Time remake confirmed for Switch 2 on 5th November.
- New Metroid, Kirby games and Persona 6 on Switch 2 announced.

## Summary

Nintendo has now completed its September 2026 double-header of showcases, following Tuesday's Zelda-focused presentation, which confirmed a 5th November release date for the Switch 2 remake of Ocarina of Time, with a roughly 45-minute Nintendo Direct on Wednesday. The Direct was a relatively low-key affair centred on Switch 2 titles due this winter, but it did yield several new confirmations, including a fresh 2D Metroid entry and a first look at Persona 6 on Switch 2, giving fans a clearer picture of Nintendo's release calendar into next year.

Among the announcements, Metroid Ravenous is set for January, Kirby and the World Beyond was revealed for spring 2027, and a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Pikmin 4 arrives in November. Persona 6 was confirmed for Switch 2, though without a release date. This adds to an already busy schedule, with Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave due on 17th September and Nintendo Switch Sports Resort following on 22nd October, while new Pokémon and Xenoblade entries have been pencilled in for 2027 without firm dates yet.
