The next Nintendo Direct presentation takes place tomorrow – here’s where and how to watch it

It’s finally that time of year again; The next Nintendo Direct will officially take place tomorrow, June 18.

The news was announced on Channel X / Official Nintendo Twitter, and the Nintendo Direct will air at 7am PT / 10am EDT / 3pm BST / 4pm CEST. As always, you can watch it live on Official Nintendo YouTube Channels at the time of broadcast.

This Nintendo Direct, as usual, will last approximately 40 minutes and will focus solely on Nintendo Switch games launching in the second half of 2024. Nintendo also notes that there will be “no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during this presentation”.

This echoes comments made last month by Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa. At the time, Furukawa noted via X/Twitter that even if the next Nintendo console will not be presented during the Nintendo Direct in June, he reassures that official information will be revealed “during this financial year”.

This should be a bit of an interesting Nintendo Direct, as we don’t really have any idea what the company has in store for the second half of the Nintendo Switch year. The majority of the most anticipated and best Nintendo Switch games are now available in the wild. Perhaps the last major anomaly is Metroid Prime 4, which could very well make the jump to the (tentatively named) Nintendo Switch 2 at this point.

So this leaves the floor open to pleasant surprises, hopefully. I imagine there will probably be one or two new remakes, and the usual handful of quality third-party and indie support to fill in the gaps in between. Still, with the Switch at the end of its lifecycle, keep expectations low as we prepare for the next console next year.
