Luigi’s Mansion 3 is the other game besides Pokemon we know will be featured in the Direct. We already saw gameplay from the title at Gamescom 2019, but that doesn’t mean there’s not more new content to show off.

The next new Smash character was confirmed to be from an SNK title following leaks earlier in the week, but whether or not we’ll get any info on that during the September Direct remains unknown.

What could be announced?

Another possibility for the September 4 Direct is Overwatch coming to Switch. This theory really gained traction online after an Overwatch-themed Nintendo Switch case was briefly listed on Amazon before being removed.

A Nintendo Direct would be the perfect time to reveal Overwatch was headed to Switch and build the hype up, but so far nothing official has come out on a possible port.

Blizzard has already worked with Nintendo to bring Diablo to the system, so Overwatch on Switch might not be that far-fetched.
