Nintendo has officially held its promised September 2026 show, serving an immense platter of new games, expanded content and exciting surprises across the present and future generation of consoles.
The presentation got started with hard-hitting action with Capcom’s stunning glimpse into Monster Hunter Wilds, giving the whole show an ominous, dark atmosphere in terms of third-party support.
Major franchise follow ups were then churned out with Final Fantasy VII Revelation as a significant new installment, the shadow dropped addition of CRISIS CORE: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, the royal edition version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, an remastered edition of the cult classic The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, alongside next-gen updates of flagship titles like Pikmin 4 and Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
As to be expected, there was no short supply of first-party properties and fan-beloved franchises making a substantial appearance.
Gamers got a first look at Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, Metroid Ravenous and Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, a completely free multiplayer update to Star Fox as well as the addition of Star Fox Adventures to the GameCube Classics line.
RPG fans should certainly be pleased with updates concerning the Professor Layton and the New World of Steam, Yokai Watch 2: Haunted Domain, Danganronpa 2×2, Persona 4 Revival and finally a confirmation of Persona 6 being in development.
However, we did see that Koei Tecmo also prepared a special Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Definitive Edition to be ready for its release, while we got a peek at new dlc for Pokmon Pokopia and new amiibo’s planned for Kirby Air Riders along with new stages for Mario Kart World.
The end of the show finished off strong with a variety of huge AAA blockbusters mixed with the best in the indie scene as well as a few special surprise announcements which will include Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 Remakes, a brand-new Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves and a Complete Edition for Stellar Blade.
With instant releases such as Meccha Chameleon and the free playable demos on hand such as CAIRN, the presentation certainly lived up to its promise of offering experiences for absolutely everyone and had a full pipeline of content from late 2026, well into 2027.
