Upcoming Nintendo Direct slated to go live during Switch 2 launch week, claims insider

2025 is a vital year for Nintendo, with the Switch 2 just over a week away from launch. While the company has already had its big blowout console reveal event, the Direct was somewhat lacking. Fortunately, it seems as though Nintendo has another showcase planned to go live either during the launch week of the Switch 2 – or very shortly after.

Known insider PHBrazil recently took to their livestream to offer some details on Nintendo’s upcoming plans. According to the leaker (as translated by Famiboards members Dan and Guaraná) the next Nintendo Direct is planned to go live either during the week of Switch 2’s launch [5th June – 12th June] or the week following.

Either way, having another Direct around the launch of their new console makes a great deal of sense, with plenty of previously announced Nintendo games lacking any release dates currently.

What type of Direct Nintendo will be hosting has not been shared, though considering the fact that it is planned to go live around the Switch 2’s launch (and is during the Summer E3 months), expect it to be somewhat significant.

Just some of the officially announced Switch 2 titles which have yet to get a release date include Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment; Kirby Air Riders; Metroid Prime 4; Pokémon Legends: Z-A and more. Hopefully all these and more are present during the upcoming event. We will have to wait and see.
