Nintendo is hosting a special Nintendo Direct on November 11, 2024, but this time, it won’t be focused on upcoming games for the Nintendo Switch or updates about the ‘Switch 2.’ Instead, the Direct will be dedicated to the new Donkey Kong Country expansion at Super Nintendo World in Universal Studios Japan. The livestream will offer a 10-minute presentation that highlights this exciting addition to the theme park.
The event will begin at 2 p.m. PT / 5 p.m. ET / 10 p.m. GMT / 11 p.m. CET / 8 a.m. AET on November 11. This will be a brief showcase of the Donkey Kong Country area, with no new game announcements or hardware news expected. The main focus will be on the theme park experience, providing an early look at what visitors can expect from this expansion.
Fans have been waiting for more details since the expansion’s opening was delayed from Spring 2024 to “late 2024.” As such, many are hoping that this Direct will reveal a new, more specific opening date for the Donkey Kong Country area. With the broadcast so close to the end of the year, it’s possible the expansion could open soon after the Direct airs.
Shigeru Miyamoto, the legendary Nintendo creator, is expected to be involved in the presentation. His appearances are always a highlight for fans, and his participation in this Direct would add a personal touch to the showcase. Fans interested in the Donkey Kong Country expansion should tune in to learn more about this highly anticipated update to Universal Studios Japan’s Super Nintendo World.
