Per Eurogamer, it’s unlikely that there will be any major differences between the UK and US streams although the UK version will not be published until 4pm BST when it will appear as a straightforward video upload.
The Direct comes ahead of the Tokyo Games Show later this week where third-party publishers will be in attendance to demo upcoming Switch games. There are rumours of updates about Metroid as well as the aforementioned Zelda sequel.
Earlier this year Nintendo announced that the sequel to The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild has a new launch window of spring 2023.
A video released on Nintendo’s YouTube channel shows The Legend Of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma announcing the delay to the sequel to Breath Of The Wild. Originally planned for a release towards the end of 2022, the game will now be released in spring 2023.
“We have decided to extend our development time a bit and change the release to spring 2023,” said Aonuma in the video. “For those of you have who have been looking forward to a release this year, we apologise.”
