June 2024 Nintendo Direct Appears This Week

As expected, the next Nintendo Direct is now set for 7am PT/10am ET/4pm CET on June 18, 2024, and it will discuss new Switch games. This falls in line with years of reveals, going all the way back to when these showcases would appear alongside E3. 

This will be about a 40 minute presentation, which people can catch on YouTube or by visiting the official Nintendo Direct site. It’s the first one since the February 2024 Partner Showcase. The focus this time is entirely on Nintendo Switch games launching in 2024. It also comes after multiple Summer Game Fest 2024 showcases from companies like Sony and Microsoft.

While we did know the June 2024 Nintendo Direct was on the way, thanks to an official announcement on social media, we also knew that something wouldn’t happen during it. Nintendo already confirmed the Switch 2, a successor to the current console, won’t appear at the showcase. It will be announced later this fiscal year.

In addition to this presentation, there will soon be a way to see new Nintendo Switch games in person. The 2024 Play Nintendo Tour also started running in malls in the US. That kicked off in Salt Lake City on June 13, 2024.

The new Nintendo Direct will appear on June 18, 2024.
