Nintendo has officially announced that its next Nintendo Direct presentation will occur on Wednesday, June 21 at 7am PT. In the past, Nintendo typically held a showcase in early June, but this year they chose not to participate in the Summer Game Fest events. This decision sparked speculation that Nintendo might delay its next Nintendo Direct presentation until September. However, there were others who remained adamant that the next Nintendo Direct would take place in late June or early July.
It appears that the insiders and leakers who predicted a Nintendo Direct event in June were accurate. Now that the leak has been confirmed as true, it will be intriguing to see if the other leaked information about the Nintendo Direct also proves to be accurate.
Anyone interested in watching the upcoming Nintendo Direct event can tune in on Wednesday, June 21 at 7am PT. The event is set to last for 40 minutes and will feature several exciting reveals. Although Nintendo has not provided specific details about what fans can expect, they have confirmed that Pikmin 4 will be showcased during the presentation. Since the release date of Pikmin 4 is only a month away, it is logical for Nintendo to take advantage of the Nintendo Direct platform to highlight this highly anticipated game.
When is the Next Nintendo Direct?
In addition to Pikmin 4, the upcoming Nintendo Direct presentation is expected to feature announcements for new games and updates on previously-announced titles. While fans should manage their expectations, several leaks indicate that a new 2D Super Mario game will be unveiled during the event, potentially releasing in November as a major fall title. Furthermore, there are rumors of a new Super Mario baseball game being developed, which may also be announced at the event.
Fans of Nintendo have been eagerly awaiting updates on the highly anticipated Metroid Prime 4, which was announced a staggering six years ago but has yet to receive a proper trailer. However, it is important for fans to temper their expectations and not get too excited about any potential leaks until they have the opportunity to watch the Nintendo Direct presentation firsthand.
