Nintendo Direct June 2024 - What To Expect
Now isn't that the ultimate question? In truth, we don't know what's going to be shown yet. Nintendo's first-party calendar for the rest of 2024 looks rather sparse (bar the upcoming release of Luigi's Mansion 2 HD and Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition next month), so the possibilities are pretty open.With 'Switch 2' looming (remember, an announcement is coming "this fiscal year"), we wouldn't expect to see a new Mario or Zelda pop up here. Instead, the Big N might end up playing things relatively safe with a focus on ports and remasters to tide us over to new hardware — Metroid Prime 2/3 on Switch feel like no-brainers, but we'll always bang the Wind Waker and Twilight Princess drum too.
Of course, let's not forget that 2024 is an Olympic year, so we wouldn't be surprised to see Mario and Sonic lace up for Paris. A new Donkey Kong might be a good-sized release to round out the Switch and talk of a Fire Emblem remaster has been bubbling away for months now. Expect the unexpected, then.
Just don't expect Metroid Prime 4 or Silksong. We can't go through that again.
