The Nintendo Direct is happening on Sep. 23 at 3:00 p.m. PT/6:00 p.m. ET, so if you want to catch it live, you'll need to mark down that time. There's a couple of different ways of watching it live:

You can go to the official Nintendo YouTube channel.
Alternatively, you can go to the official Nintendo Twitch channel.

In our experience, Twitch tends to be faster, meaning you'll see the announcements sooner than if you're watching through YouTube. With that in mind, YouTube tends to be higher-quality, providing a clearer streaming image, as well as being less likely to crash or stutter.

Nintendo is quite clear in the announcement that this Nintendo Direct is mainly focused on games coming to the Nintendo Switch over the upcoming winter. As such, while it's possible we could see more of titles like Metroid Dread, it's more likely that there are some surprises in store.
