Resolution criteria
This is an independent multiple-choice prop market that resolves based on the events of the next official General Nintendo Direct broadcast following the June 9, 2026 presentation.
Each added option will resolve to YES or NO based on the following criteria:
Qualifying Presentation: The presentation must be officially titled simply as a "Nintendo Direct" (e.g., "Nintendo Direct - September 2026"). Presentations explicitly excluded from resolving this market include "Partner Showcase", "Indie World", "Super Nintendo World" or "Museum" tours, and game-specific showcases (such as "Pokémon Presents" or dedicated single-game Directs).
Source of Truth: Resolution will be determined using the official stream and video archive published on the official Nintendo YouTube Channel.
Scope of Broadcast: To resolve to YES, an option's event must be explicitly mentioned, shown, or announced during the main runtime of the Direct broadcast (including "one more thing" teasers or sizzle reels). Post-show segments, such as Nintendo Treehouse: Live, do not count toward resolution unless an option explicitly specifies otherwise.
Unambiguous Announcement: For game announcements, titles, or release dates, there must be clear official confirmation (such as a trailer, title logo, or explicit verbal/text statement from a presenter) during the broadcast. Speculation or vague teases that do not name the game or franchise will resolve to NO unless the connection is officially confirmed by Nintendo during or immediately following the Direct.
Adding Answers: Because anyone can add answers to this market, traders are encouraged to write highly specific options. Ambiguous or duplicate options may be resolved as N/A at the creator's discretion.
Background
Nintendo's most recent major showcase occurred on June 9, 2026. It featured significant reveals and updates for both the original Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch 2, including The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake, Xenoblade Genesis, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, and ports like Kingdom Hearts IV.
Historically, Nintendo adheres to a general schedule of broadcasting major Directs in February, June, and September. This market allows traders to bet on what first-party franchises, new hardware updates, release dates, or unexpected third-party partnerships will be featured in the next installment of Nintendo's flagship broadcast.

Update 2026-09-07 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Regional Broadcasts: Any regional version of the qualifying Nintendo Direct presentation counts toward resolution. Content shown in regional streams (such as the Japanese broadcast) but not in English broadcasts will qualify for a YES resolution.
@Kraalnaxx @egga22 Seems unambiguous to me. I was thinking more like swinging from a vine but whatever lol.

Just to confirm, unless otherwise specified, any regional version of the same iteration of Nintendo Direct counts?
EDIT: this is due to the fact that last Direct, some content were shown on the JP broadcast but not on the English broadcasts
Since we're getting a dedicated Zelda ND, prop bets for it: /MichaelBlume/zelda-nintendo-direct-prop-bets
@MichaelBlume If a release date is announced in the Direct on the 8th and not mentioned in the Direct on the 9th, I'm guessing this resolves no? What if a release date is announced on the 8th and then mentioned again on the 9th?
