Nintendo Direct Scheduled for June 18th Won't Feature News on Switch 2 - How to Watch Livestream

Attention Nintendo Switch fans! Get ready for a fresh wave of announcements as Nintendo gears up for its next Direct presentation on June 18th. This roughly 40-minute livestream, starting at 7:00 AM PT (7:30 PM IST), will be available on the official Nintendo YouTube channel.

No News on the Switch Successor

Unlike Microsoft's recent Xbox Games Showcase, which offered glimpses into their next-generation console, Nintendo has confirmed this Direct will solely focus on upcoming games for the Nintendo Switch. This news comes as a bit of a relief for some, as the Switch successor isn't expected to launch until sometime before March 2025.

What to Expect from the June 18th Direct

With only a few confirmed releases for the remainder of 2024 (Luigi's Mansion 2 HD and Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition coming by July 18th), the June 18th Direct is likely to be packed with exciting announcements. Gamers can expect reveals of new titles alongside potential release date unveilings.

The Longest Direct of 2024

This upcoming presentation marks the third Nintendo Direct of 2024, following Partner Showcase and Indie World Showcase events held earlier this year. However, clocking in at 40 minutes, the June 18th Direct is poised to be the longest of the bunch, offering a significant amount of content for Switch enthusiasts to devour.

So, grab your favorite controller and prepare to tune in! The June 18th Nintendo Direct promises to be a treasure trove of information about upcoming Switch titles that will keep you busy for months to come.
