Over the past few months, it's widely been rumoured that a Nintendo Direct is coming after the release of Donkey Kong Bananza, something that former marketing lead Kit Ellis has now commented on.
As if Nintendo hasn't had a busy enough year with the launch of the long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 and our first new Mario Kart game in more than a decade, things aren't slowing down any time soon. Not only do we have the upcoming release of Donkey Kong Bananza (which is reviewing very well), but we also know about a few other games on Nintendo's docket.
