Nintendo Direct on September 1 will talk 3DS, but don’t expect NX news

We still have some waiting to do before we find out more about Nintendo’s next console.

Nintendo announced today that it will run a Nintendo Direct livestream on September 1, focusing on upcoming releases for its aging 3DS handheld system. Nintendo specifically told GamesBeat in an e-mail that the NX, the codename for its next console (one that we don’t know much about), won’t be discussed during the presentation. The Japanese company usually has at least one surprise announcement during a Nintendo Direct, often revealing a new game. The 3DS was actually the best-selling system in July thanks to the new release Monster Hunter Generations and renewed interest in old Pokémon games thanks to the Pokémon Go craze.
