The November 2025 Nintendo Direct is announced, but there's a catch

Nintendo has announced a new Nintendo Direct for November 2025 that will focus on The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. While the upcoming presentation won't include gameplay news, Nintendo is finally giving fans a better idea of what to expect from Mario's next feature film.

Unsurprisingly, some of these presentations have highlighted the Switch 2, which was released in June. Most recently, the company hosted one Kirby Air Riders Live and gives fans a closer look at Masahiro Sakurai's upcoming racing game. With the end of the year on the horizon, Nintendo is preparing to share more details about one of its big projects for 2026.
