In a new post on X, Nintendo finally confirmed concrete details for the anticipated June Direct showcase, now scheduled for June 18, 2024.
The post reiterates that this livestream will focus on games “coming in the second half of 2024.” It will premiere at 7 AM pacific time, and the event will last “roughly 40 minutes.”
Fans can wait for the event thanks to YouTube’s premiere feature. This sometimes features a revealing description. However, this one only includes the same information as the post.
The event description on YouTube also confirms again that “there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during this presentation.”
Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa previously confirmed this when announcing that the Direct was coming this month.
However, Furukawa has said that Nintendo plans to reveal the Switch successor sometime during this fiscal year. Nintendo also confirmed that the next Switch device will not be a completely new type of console.
There is currently no update on the games coming to the Nintendo Direct this June. Fans are already speculating on the potential lineup.
For example, mobile card game Pokémon TCG Pocket was confirmed for 2024 last February. However, the next major installment in that franchise is likely reserved for the new Switch device, since Legends Z-A is coming in 2025.
