Exciting Nintendo Direct Rumors: Major Announcements Coming Soon!

by

Summary

  • The next Nintendo Direct may happen in late May or (more likely) early June 2025.
  • Nintendo hasn’t missed an opportunity to hold a June Direct since first introducing this product showcase format in late 2011.
  • The next Nintendo Direct is expected to include multiple 2025 release date announcements.

According to a trusted source within the industry, there are strong indications that a fresh Nintendo Direct broadcast may take place quite imminently, possibly coinciding with the debut of the Switch 2. This event is anticipated to unveil several launch dates for upcoming titles rather than solely focusing on Nintendo’s upcoming console.

The prediction originates from Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe, a Brazilian journalist more commonly recognized as PH Brazil. Over the past few years, Lippe has provided numerous trustworthy insights into Nintendo’s internal operations. Among these, his most significant contribution was being the first to reveal that the Switch 2 would be launched in 2025, an announcement made when most industry analysts were predicting a 2024 release date.

During a late May 2025 live broadcast, Lippe indicated that the upcoming Nintendo Direct event might occur soon, hinting at potential dates within the weeks of May 26 or the following one. This speculation points towards the possibility of Nintendo’s product unveiling happening around the time of the Switch 2 release, slated for June 5. Nevertheless, it’s important to note that the anticipated June 2025 Nintendo Direct may not exclusively focus on Switch 2 games.

Multiple 2025 Switch Games Are Still Waiting for Release Dates

Given that several 2025 Nintendo Switch games haven’t yet been assigned release dates, it seems likely they will unveil these details ahead of another Direct event dedicated solely to their upcoming console. The current roster of high-profile 2025 Switch games without confirmed launch dates includes “Pokemon Legends: Z-A”, “Metroid Prime 4: Beyond”, and “Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment”.

Regarding Switch 2 games, a Nintendo Direct event in June 2025 could offer an ideal platform for Nintendo to exhibit games like “Mario Kart World” and “Donkey Kong Bananza”, if the event occurs before the launch of the new console. It’s also plausible that they might announce some new games, as Nintendo typically unveils new titles during the third quarter of the year.

A June 2025 Nintendo Direct Is a Fairly Safe Bet

Based on past patterns, it’s quite likely that Nintendo will host a Direct event in June 2025. Since the introduction of their video product showcases in late 2011, they’ve consistently held at least one such event each June. On average, they’ve hosted two of these events per year between 2012 and 2024. While some were Pokemon Presents, most have been Nintendo Directs.
