Those hungry for fresh Nintendo news will have to wait a little longer, unfortunately.

Due to an intense earthquake in Hokkaido, the upcoming Nintendo Direct (6 September, 3pm PT) has been delayed until further notice. The news comes directly from Nintendo UK’s and Nintendo of America’s Twitter accounts.

We at NintendoSoup do hope for the well-being and safety of Hokkaido’s residents. If you are near the disaster area, do take care of yourselves.

In the meantime, we will be awaiting updates on a new time and date for the Direct.
