June 2024 is now entering its second half—hard to believe we’re already almost halfway through the year.
And with that, it’s only natural to start wondering about all the new game releases lined up for the latter half of 2024.
Major publishers across various platforms have already begun revealing their big titles for the coming months. But the one company that has remained unusually quiet until now is none other than Nintendo.
Back in May, the company’s corporate account on X (@NintendoCoLtd) announced that it would share news about the successor to the Nintendo Switch sometime this fiscal year—while also confirming that a June Nintendo Direct was planned.
Now that we’re well into June, the wait is finally over: the broadcast date for this Nintendo Direct has been officially revealed!
Nintendo to Announce Nintendo Switch Successor by March 2025; Nintendo Direct to Be Held in June
Streaming June 18 at 11:00 p.m. JST, 40 minutes volume!
The Nintendo Direct 2024.6.18 presentation is set to air on Wednesday, June 18, 2024, at 11:00 p.m. JST!
It will feature a packed lineup of titles planned for release in the second half of 2024, delivering about 40 minutes of new information on upcoming Nintendo Switch games.
With a runtime this long, expectations are high—many fans are anticipating a sizable batch of fresh announcements, including several titles that have been rumored to appear in this Direct.
But of course, the only way to know for sure is to watch the Nintendo Direct 2024.6.18 yourself!
It’s a bit of a late-night timeslot, but if you can, tuning in live is definitely the best way to catch the latest updates as they drop.
Although this was already mentioned in advance, Nintendo has confirmed that there will be no announcements regarding the successor to the Nintendo Switch during this Direct.
That said, Shigeru Miyamoto took to Nintendo’s official X account (@Nintendo) to reveal that the new Super Mario animated film will premiere in Japan on Friday, April 24, 2026!
It’s still about two years away, but who knows—maybe we’ll get a small teaser or a bit of related news during this Direct. Let’s keep our hopes up and wait for the broadcast!
