Nintendo has just officially made an appointment for a new Nintendo Direct. This is his most important program to discover his next big titles to appear on Switch.
Since the death of E3, manufacturers can organize their calendar in their own way. Where Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo could organize conferences a few days apart before, manufacturers prefer to leave a few weeks now. After a somewhat disappointing PlayStation Showcase, and a revamped Xbox Game Showcase, it’s Nintendo’s turn to give us an appointment with its Nintendo Direct. In a somewhat particular context.
What to expect from Nintendo Direct?
Nintendo Directs are becoming increasingly rare. These are the conferences where Nintendo reserves its best cartridges, with big titles from internal studio or external developers. In its press release, the manufacturer explains the content of its show: “ Tune in Wednesday, June 21 at 4:00 p.m. for a Nintendo Direct of approximately 40 minutes focused primarily on Nintendo Switch games coming this year, and with new details on Pikmin 4 » .
We should therefore have the right to a good presentation of Pikmin 4, the next Nintendo game expected to launch this summer. The brand also specifies that most of the games presented should be released this year in 2023.
The Shadow of the Switch 2
The shadow of Nintendo’s next console begins to hang over its presentations. Indeed, there are fewer and fewer officially unveiled Nintendo games for which we do not know the release date. The firm seems to want to focus its communication on 2023 with games officially planned for Switch, keeping surprises for its future Nintendo Direct where the manufacturer could unveil the catalog of its next console.
The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is a success, but its release means that Nintendo officially no longer has a new episode of Mario, Mario Kart or Zelda announced. There is however very little doubt about the preparation of new titles in these franchises, especially after the success of the film Super Mario Bros. Fans are also waiting for Metroid Prime 4 news.
Therefore one can wonder if the games presented during this Nintendo Direct will not be the last to be released only on the current console. Before a presentation of a Switch 2 that we could imagine for the beginning of the year 2024. Obviously, the brand could continue to release games on the Switch 1 which would also be offered on its next console. This is the strategy chosen by Sony and Microsoft to soften the transition from one generation to another. Three years after the release of the Xbox Series, Microsoft made it official this June that none of its studios were working with the Xbox One anymore.
