The summer ain’t over yet
We’ve seen several major publishers showcase their big streams in the month of June, and now, it’s Nintendo’s turn. A new Nintendo Direct is set to air on Jul 16, 2025.
Announced this morning onsocial media, Nintendo will host the new Direct at 7 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. ET on its video channels. You can watch along through theembedbelow:
As for content, Nintendo says there will be “roughly 40 minutes” of information on Nintendo Switch titles, mostly launching this year. A specific focus isPikmin 4, one of Nintendo’s already announced titles set tolaunch on July 21, just a month after the Direct. No other games were specified in the tweet.
There is space ahead for Nintendo to fill with some new game announcements. OutsidePikmin 4and the roll-out ofPokémon ScarletandViolet‘s DLC, there isn’t too much on Nintendo’s docket at this point in time.
Hopefuls are likely crossing their fingers for either Mario or Samus to make an appearance with a brand-new game.Metroid Prime 4has been sitting on the sidelines for a while, and speculation always seem to swirl around Directs about its next appearance.
There’s no shortage of third-party or indie hopefuls either. Square Enix often has news to share at these events, games likeMetal Slug Tacticshave been quiet for a while, and of course, there’s alwaysSilksong.
With Nintendo looking at the year ahead, I’m personally hoping for some firm dates set and titles locked for the coming fall. PlayStation, Xbox, Capcom, Ubisoft, and many others have already announced held their summer streams. This is, judging by the relative time-frame, a Direct that would’ve lined up with E3. So my own hope is for at least one or two E3-caliber reveals.
We’ll find out tomorrow during the June 2023 Nintendo Direct at 7 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. ET.
