What to expect from tomorrow’s big summer Nintendo Direct: Zelda remake, Mario Kart DLC, 3D Mario, more?

Nintendo has now officially confirmed the leaked June Nintendo Direct and it goes live tomorrow. Does this mean the rest of the game leaks and rumors are also going to come true? Some of them already have and tomorrow could be the big one. 

Here’s a quick rundown of the leaks/rumors dating back to May and which of them have already been confirmed:

There’s still plenty of stuff on there we still aren’t sure about, but that’s also a pretty good running track record, and good reason to believe some, if not all, of them might start to get set in stone. 

Prominent and reliable Nintendo leakers claimed there will be no new 3D Mario game in 2026, and that largely remains the case, but that doesn’t necessarily mean Nintendo won’t use its big summer showcase to at least tease it. That, admittedly seems like a long shot, and something Nintendo might host a dedicated Direct for, or even hold off until the September Direct, but there is very much a chance. 

The next biggest thing that has been bouncing around the internet for months now is The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake for Switch 2. This is another one that seemed like it could use its own dedicated Direct, especially if the rumored Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake Switch 2 special edition console is indeed real, but it also seems like it might be the only thing that really cap the show off with a serious bang. 

Here are some other predictions surfacing both at the 9to5Toys offices and around the web of what might get shown off tomorrow:

  • Death Stranding (likely the Director’s Cut or something like it)
  • More details on Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 Switch 2 Edition
  • Additional Call of Duty ports (already spotted on ratings boards)
  • Diablo IV with mouse Joy-Con feature
  • Another trailer for the new Spyro game we saw yesterday
  • Trailer for Elder Scrolls Oblivion remake 
  • DOOM: The Dark Ages for Nintendo Switch 2
  • Metal Gear Solid: Delta 
  • The Duskbloods release date
  • Pikmin 4 Switch 2 Edition
  • Mario Kart World DLC (maybe)
