Nintendo
The third Nintendo Direct of the year is upon us, and it will set expectations for the hybrid console’s game lineup as we head into what may be the final year of the system’s life as Nintendo’s main platform. We hope to hear more details on games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the Super Mario RPG remake, and the mysterious untitled Princess Peach game. We’re also hoping for some nice surprises and wondering if leaks related to the return of some of Nintendo’s dormant franchises are true.
Regardless, this is bound to be a packed 40-minute gaming showcase full of surprising reveals. It will be a lot to keep track of, so that’s why we’re doing a live recap of every announcement that’s made during the September 14 Nintendo Direct. Stay tuned to this page and keep refreshing during the Direct for live updates on what Nintendo has announced.
Nintendo Direct 9.14.2023 – Nintendo Switch
The GBA Mario vs. Donkey Kong game is getting a remake
Mario vs. Donkey Kong – Nintendo Direct 9.14.2023
A new Donkey Kong game was announced during today’s Nintendo Direct, but it was different from what you might have been expecting. The Mario vs. Donkey Kong series has returned with a new entry called a remake of the GBA game that shares its name with the entire series. Mario vs. Donkey Kong is made up of a lot of intricately designed puzzle-platforming levels where Mario’s main goal is typically to find a key and bring it to a door. The remake adds co-op. It launches on February 16, 2024.
The Princess Peach game is titled Princess Peach: Showtime!
During the June Direct, Nintendo teased a new game starring Princess Peach. We learned a lot more about that game during this Direct, including the fact that it is titled Princes Peach: Showtime!. Showtime! follows Princess Peach as saves many stage shows from an evil gang. The game gameplay gimmick is centered around a ribbon character named Stella, who can be used to attack enemies or transform Peach into different forms with unique abilities. Princess Peach: Showtime! will launch for Nintendo Switch on March 22, 2024.
F-Zero returns with F-Zero 99
F-ZERO 99 – Nintendo Switch Online – Nintendo Direct 9.14.2023
The leak was true! The long-awaited return of the F-Zero franchises is finally happening with F-Zero 99. Following in the footsteps of Tetris 99 and Super Mario Bros. 35, this is a battle royale game based on a retro title. In F-Zero’s case, that means 99 players will be competing in high-octane races based on the first game in the series. F-Zero 99 is available exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online members starting today.
A Nintendo Museum is opening in Japan
Nintendo
More than halfway into the Direct, Nintendo announced that the Nintendo Gallery that it had previously teased the existence of is now a full-fledged museum. Officially called the Nintendo Museum, it is in Uji, a city in Japan’s Kyoto prefecture. Nintendo says it will display “a wide variety of products from the company’s history” and that construction of it will be complete in March 2024. An opening date for the Nintendo Museum will be confirmed at a later time, although it shouldn’t happen too long after construction concludes.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is getting a remake
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door – Nintendo Direct 9.14.2023
To conclude the show, Nintendo revealed that a remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is in the works. This beloved GameCube Paper Mario RPG received a gorgeous visual overhaul but retains the turn-based combat of the original. Considering Paper Mario fans haven’t been happy with where the series has gone since this GameCube game, a remake of it is sure to be a satisfying announcement. The Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake comes out in 2024.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder: release date, trailers, gameplay, and more
It’s been over a decade since we got the last new 2D Mario game, but that dry spell has finally come to an end. Super Mario Bros. Wonder has appeared and will give us a brand new side-scrolling adventure through the Mushroom Kingdom. While 3D Mario titles tend to get most of the excitement and praise from fans, there’s no denying that the 2D games are just as creative and fun in their own ways. Even though they all follow the same basic formula of running through a stage in an attempt to reach the flagpole at the end, they all put fun and creative twists on how you get there that keep each title fresh. If you’ve been wondering what Mario’s next 2D adventure will hold, here’s everything we know about Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
Release date
We have waited long enough for a new 2D Mario, and Nintendo seems to agree. Super Mario Bros. Wonder will arrive this fall on October 20.
