Nintendo has announced that on June 18, 2024 they will be hosting their Nintendo direct at 7AM PT, 10AM ET. As stated in a previous post, there will be no mention of the Switch successor during this time. Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa has confirmed that we will be seeing it soon though, as they plan to reveal it before April 2025.
I previously questioned if this would be showing just games coming up in the next year and it seems to be the case. They stated that this will be 40 minutes of games coming in the second half of 2024. One game a lot of people have been anticipating is Metroid Prime 4. The game was announced seven years ago and then announced a few years later that they would need more time as they were going to scrap what they had and start over again. Could we see a look at Metroid Prime 4 tomorrow?
There is a good possibility, last week Nintendo NYC showed off this gorgeous Samus statue. What a better time to show off a statue than right before we see the new game?
Will you be watching the direct live or waiting until later to watch it?
Join us for a #NintendoDirect livestream focused on #NintendoSwitch games coming in the second half of 2024! There will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during this presentation.
