How to watch the Nintendo Direct presentation

As usual, the Nintendo Direct presentation will stream from several official Nintendo outlets. These include the company's YouTube and Twitch channels, as well as the official Nintendo Direct website. To make things easier for you, however, we will also have the stream embedded right here, so you can watch it in its entirety without needing to even leave this page.

The entire presentation will last approximately 40 minutes, with a particular focus on Pikmin 4. This will follow up the most recent Nintendo Direct, which took place back in February and revealed Metroid Prime: Remastered, a new release date for Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp, and an extended trailer for The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom.

What to expect in the June 2023 Nintendo Direct

Nintendo's confirmed first-party release schedule for the remainder of 2023 is thin, with Everybody 1-2 Switch set to launch June 30 and the aforementioned Pikmin 4 coming July 21. Disney Illusion Island, a Switch-exclusive platformer, is also set for a late July launch.

Other than those titles, there's no official word on what Nintendo's first-party studios are launching between now and the end of the year. Rumors surfaced this weekend of a new 2D Mario adventure in the works, as well as "a remake of a SNES classic," which is speculated to be Super Mario RPG.
