Nintendo of America also announced the upcoming event via social media. This was to let fans know when to tune in for the livestream. The event will focus on Super Nintendo World which is located at Universal Studios Japan, according to My Nintendo News.

The announcement also mentioned that there will be no information about any game that will be featured in the Super Nintendo World Direct. The livestream is primarily for people who are looking forward to the Donkey Kong Country expansion within the themed area.

Fans also expect that Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto will be the one who will present the Super Nintendo World Direct. The last time that people received any news about the Donkey Kong Country expansion was disappointing.

Nintendo previously said that the opening of the expansion was delayed from Spring 2024 to late 2024. Fans are now expecting that the upcoming direct livestream will reveal a new opening date for the Donkey Kong Country expansion, Nintendo Life said.

The Donkey Kong Country expansion will reportedly feature various characters and gameplay elements that are based on the games themselves. There have been various stuff revealed so far that shows the primary attraction being based on the iconic levels that revolve around mine cart.

The mine cart levels have become an iconic part of the Donkey Kong franchise starting from the original Donkey Kong Country. There were also several major tests of reflexes where players were forced to dodge incoming enemies while also jumping over the tracks that are broken.

The themed ride will make riders feel the latter aspect of those famous levels and will feature sections where it would appear like the coaster is jumping over broken parts of the tracks. Fans are eagerly waiting for new information regarding the Donkey Kong Country expansion during the upcoming Super Nintendo World Direct, according to Comic Book.

The situation comes as Nintendo fans have been waiting for months for new information regarding the Japanese company's next console. The Switch 2 still does not have an official name and information is still limited.
