New Nintendo Direct Announced, and It’s Not What Anyone Expected

New Nintendo Direct Announced, and It’s Not What Anyone Expected

As a lifelong Nintendo enthusiast who has spent countless hours navigating mine cart levels in Donkey Kong Country, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming Super Nintendo World Direct! While the lack of news about the Nintendo Switch 2 may be disappointing to some, I’m just happy to dive back into the world of Donkey Kong and his iconic adventures.


A new Nintendo Direct presentation has been announced, and will take place on Monday, November 11th at 2 p.m. PT. However, fans hoping for news on the company’s new console are out of luck. This time around, the focus will be entirely on Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan. The showcase will offer a closer look at the park’s new Donkey Kong Country expansion, revealing what to expect in terms of rides and attractions. Still, the Nintendo Direct should be exciting for fans in North America, as Donkey Kong Country will be part of Super Nintendo World when it opens in Orlando, as well.

Join us on November 11th at 2 p.m. Pacific Time for a live stream event straight from SUPER NINTENDO WORLD! The broadcast, around 10 minutes long, will offer a sneak peek into Donkey Kong Country within the #SuperNintendoWorld at Universal Studios Japan. No specific game details will be shared during the event.

In the upcoming expansion for Donkey Kong Country, you’ll encounter characters and features inspired by the Super Nintendo games bearing the same title. The highlight of the expansion seems to be a thrill ride modeled after the legendary mine cart levels. These mine cart stages were first introduced in the original Donkey Kong Country, serving as a challenging test of quick reflexes as players had to dodge enemies while leaping over damaged tracks. The ride is designed to replicate this part of the levels, featuring sections where it seems like the coaster is soaring over broken tracks. We’ll get a better idea of how this works in reality during tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct presentation!

New Nintendo Direct Announced, and It’s Not What Anyone Expected

Enthusiasts of Nintendo have been eagerly anticipating a Nintendo Direct centered around Nintendo’s upcoming video game console for several months now. At present, people are calling this system the “Nintendo Switch 2,” although an official moniker has yet to be announced. So far, details about the successor to the Switch have been scant, with only the knowledge that a unveiling will occur before March 31, 2025. Just recently, Nintendo confirmed that the new console will support playing games from the original Switch, meaning players can continue enjoying their existing titles on the updated system.

In the meantime, let’s make do with the latest Nintendo Direct as it won’t be the dream come true fans were expecting. However, it’s still better than nothing, given that Nintendo has been revealing smaller updates like game remasters, an alarm clock, and a mobile music streaming app recently. It appears they are eager to share other things, just not their upcoming console yet. Fingers crossed that its official unveiling will meet the high expectations when it’s finally revealed!
