Nintendo Direct September 2017 - Live blog

It feels like only yesterday we were here covering the most recent Nindies Showcase, but I'm certainly not complaining.

In some areas of the world it'll be an appropriate time and in others it's pretty darn late, however we're all here for one thing: the games.

With more from Super Mario Odyssey promised, plus a look at what's coming on 3DS and Switch over the next few months, it's shaping up to be 45 minutes of class content.

11:48 PM - Of course, the presentation ends with a lengthy look at Super Mario Odyssey. We get a bit of a backstory as to how Mario and Cappy came to be partners, and shows off a little more footage of the curious cap in motion.
