Today’s mid-year Nintendo Direct is scheduled to go live at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET, as we detailed yesterday. After what can only be described as a more than exciting year for Nintendo Switch owners, mainly, if not entirely, because of the incredible new Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, it’s time to see what else Nintendo has up its sleeve for the remainder of 2023 and potentially into 2024 – that’s where the most exciting stuff will likely land after all. Having said that, you never know what Nintendo might have in store for this year’s holiday season and we might very well get a surprise or two there. Head below to watch today’s Nintendo Direct presentation.Â

June Nintendo Direct presentation
Today’s Nintendo Direct presentation will indeed run a solid 40 minutes, according to yesterday’s announcement. That could very well mean we get a whole lot more than the new details on the upcoming Pikmin 4 Nintendo has already promised. We know the next entry in the Pikmin 4 series will grace Switch consoles later next month on July 21, 2023 and will likely be the star of the show at this point.Â
Having said that, Nintendo might want to at least hint at what’s coming in the fall and for holiday 2023 before a full gameplay demonstration of whatever that might be later this year.Â
Either way, the waiting is now over and we will soon find out what’s on the slate at Nintendo starting in about 10 minutes time as part of today’s new Nintendo Direct presentation. Follow along down below and remember to check back later as we gather up all of the full-resolution footage and reveals at the bottom of the post shortly after the show. Enjoy!Â
Tune in on June 21 at 7:00 a.m. PT for a Nintendo Direct livestream featuring roughly 40 minutes of information focused mainly on Nintendo Switch titles launching this year, including new details on Pikmin 4.
