It has been 416 days since the last general Nintendo Direct, which was on February 8th, 2023.
The last non-general Nintendo Direct was a The Super Mario Bros. Movie Direct, which aired on March 9th, 2023 — 387 days ago.
What is a Nintendo Direct?
Nintendo Directs are online presentations or live shows put on by Nintendo, which are used to announce or discuss upcoming games, consoles, amiibo, or other Nintendo-related goodness! These usually air simultaneously on Nintendo’s official YouTube and Twitch channels. Nintendo Directs are highly-anticipated semi-regular events that are sure to excite Nintendo fans — hence the existence of this tool.

The very first Nintendo Direct aired in Japan and North America on October 21st, 2011. Since its debut, Nintendo Directs have expanded to include game-specific broadcasts, indie game showcases, shorter, Nintendo Direct “Minis,” and more.

Outside of the big Nintendo Directs fans know and love, Nintendo also airs smaller, themed, and/or product-specific Direct presentations throughout the year. Here are all the different types of Nintendo Directs that currently air:

How often is there a Nintendo Direct?
General Nintendo Directs (the long ones full of big announcements) are held at least three times a year, with smaller presentations sprinkled on dates in-between. These typically air specifically during February, June, and September, although there are exceptions.
Let’s take a look at 2021’s Nintendo Direct line-up, for example: There were three general Nintendo Directs on the dates of September 22nd, June 15th (Nintendo’s E3 presentation), and February 16th.
2020 was different than previous years due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic affecting game development and Nintendo’s internal processes, so there were no big general Nintendo Directs that year (instead, these were replaced by “Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcases”).
In 2019, there were four general Nintendo Directs on the dates of September 4th, June 11th (Nintendo’s E3 presentation), May 15th, and February 13th. In 2018, there were three general Nintendo Directs on the dates of September 13th, June 12th (another of Nintendo’s E3 presentations), and March 8th.

What days do Nintendo Directs usually air?
