Nintendo announced today that the next Nintendo Direct Showcase will start tomorrow (June 18, 2024).
The June 2024 Nintendo Direct will be broadcast on YouTube and is scheduled to last approximately 40 minutes focusing on games coming in the second half of 2024. According to a statement made by Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa earlier this year, the June 2024 release Direct will contain “no mention of a Nintendo Switch successor.”
Below, we’ve laid out everything you need to know about June’s Nintendo Direct including when it starts, how you can watch it, and what to expect.
Nintendo Direct June 2024 start time
Nintendo Direct will start in June 2024 June 18, 2024 in 3pm GMT / 4pm CET / 7am PT / 10am EST / 12am EST (Wednesday).
The show will last approximately 40 minutes.
Nintendo Direct June 2024 where to watch
You can catch the June 2024 Nintendo Direct on the official website Nintendo of America YouTube channel, or one of the regional variants e.g Nintendo UK or Nintendo Japan. Alternatively, you can watch the broadcast on Nintendo Twitch channel.
We at Nintendo Life will also be hosting a broadcast starting 30 minutes before the show starts. So, if you want to watch with us and chat about all the announcements, this is the place.
Nintendo Direct June 2024 – What to Expect
Now isn’t that the ultimate question? In fact, we don’t know what will be shown yet. Nintendo’s first-party calendar for the rest of 2024 looks fairly sparse (except for the upcoming release of Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD and Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition next month), so the possibilities are very open.
With “Switch 2” just around the corner (remember, the announcement is coming “this fiscal year”), we don’t expect to see a new Mario or Zelda appear here. Instead, the Big N may end up playing things relatively safe with an eye on ports and remasters to steer us towards new hardware – Metroid Prime 2/3 on Switch seems like a no-brainer, but we’ll always be beating Wind Waker and the Twilight Princess drum too.
