Fans are speculating that Ubisoft may have unintentionally pointed to the date of the next Nintendo Direct. If that theory proves correct, Nintendo could finally share more about the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake.
Why September 10 is attracting attention
The speculation began with leaks surrounding Just Dance: Decades of Hits. Ubisoft announced the next major Just Dance release in July, but provided few details and did not show a preview of its tracklist.
Since then, retailer listings have reportedly exposed additional game assets. Dataminers used those pages to uncover more visual material and even complete tracks, continuing a familiar pattern for the long-running dance series.
Ubisoft responded to the leaks with a message to the Just Dance community:
Hello Dancers, we are sharing an important message with you today. pic.twitter.com/Z0hFuKUVIz

“While we understand this may generate excitement within the community, we believe every player deserves to discover Decades of Hits as it’s truly meant to be experienced: with the full context and care that have gone into its creation.
“We’re committed to sharing the complete picture with you on September 10, and we sincerely thank you for your patience and continued support in the meantime.”
Could Ubisoft be preparing a Nintendo Direct appearance?
That September 10 commitment is what has sent Nintendo fans searching for clues. Ubisoft traditionally unveiled its annual Just Dance game during Ubisoft Forward at E3, but the disappearance of E3 has changed the company’s usual promotional route. In recent years, Nintendo Direct presentations have become one of the places where the series has appeared.
The timing also seems plausible because Tokyo Game Show begins on September 17. Nintendo has previously scheduled Direct presentations shortly before the event, giving fans another reason to watch the calendar closely. Readers following the latest arcade and gaming news will recognise this familiar cycle of announcements, clues and community theories.
However, there is no firm confirmation that a Nintendo Direct is planned for September 10. Fan communities have become skilled at identifying Nintendo’s scheduling patterns, but those patterns can still produce false alarms.
What could appear if a Direct is announced?
If a presentation is coming, the Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake would be an obvious candidate for a new trailer or release-date announcement. Fans may also be hoping for a launch date for The Duskbloods.
Until Nintendo confirms an event, both possibilities remain speculation. The wider gaming community can keep an eye on announcement coverage and arcade and gaming videos while waiting for a clearer signal.
Leak fatigue is growing among Just Dance fans
For the Just Dance community, the latest round of leaks has brought more frustration than excitement. Repeatedly losing surprises before Ubisoft’s planned reveals has left many players tired of leaks overshadowing the finished presentation.
Whether September 10 brings a Nintendo Direct or simply Ubisoft’s promised Decades of Hits update, the date should provide an answer soon. In the meantime, fans can explore the broader world of home arcade entertainment, including arcade machines.
