Nintendo Direct announced for tomorrow:

Nintendo Direct Announced For Tomorrow, 9th June 2026

Nintendo has announced that a long-awaited (and much-rumoured) Nintendo Direct is coming our way tomorrow, 9th June.

As revealed on the Nintendo Today! app, the showcase is set to get underway from 3pm BST / 7am PT / 10am ET, offering up 50 minutes of news and announcements about games coming to Switch 1 and 2.

If that wasn't enough, the Direct will be followed by a 90-minute Nintendo Treehouse: Live, where we can only assume we'll see some gameplay of... something. One of the surprise Direct announcements? Let's hope so!

Here's the exact time that the show will kick off in your region:

  • North America: 7am PDT / 8am MDT / 9am CDT / 10am EDT
  • UK/Ire: 3pm BST
  • Europe: 4pm CEST / 5pm EEST
  • Asia/Oceania: 11pm JST / 10pm AWST / 12am (Wed) AEST
  • Your Local Time: 10am, Tue 9th Jun 2026 Eastern Daylight Time


As for what'll make an appearance in the showcase, your guess is as good as ours. Nintendo's first-party release schedule is looking pretty light for the rest of 2026 as it stands, with Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave as the last project still shrouded in mystery. Some big releases to prop up the second half of the year would be nice, then. An Ocarina of Time remake, perhaps? We'll see...
 
Almost every game this year was an industry plant or outright advertised government funding. At least last year there were a handful that got in without having connections to Dorito Pope.
Old E3 had the entire industry playing along, including devs dropping news/trailers while not even being on the floor. I still miss the live demos whether they be on the floor or in the presentations.

Ninteniggers ruined game presentations forever.
