Nintendo is expected to hold another edition of Nintendo Direct in June, its traditional digital ad presentation. Information obtained by sources linked to the sector indicates that the transmission will take place near the launch of Switch 2, the new console of the Japanese company. The expectation is high among fans, as the event usually concentrates the main ads of the year.

Since 2012, with the exception of 2016, the company uses June as a strategic window to promote new games and updates. The 2025 edition should follow the standard, but with attention redoubled for marking the debut of a new generation of hardware. The official announcement has not yet been made, but signs from partner developers and specialized journalists point to this direction.
New console will focus on voice communication and compatibility with previous titles
Nintendo Switch 2 should be the highlight of the presentation. Among the confirmed news is GameChat, a native voice resource that will allow conversations between players through a built -in microphone. To activate the function, you will need to bind a mobile number to the Nintendo account. The service will be free until March 2026, even for users without signature on the online plan.
Compatibility with original switch games has also been guaranteed. Popular titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Pokémon Scarlet and Super Mario Odyssey will receive performance improvements and Gameshare support, a tool that allows you to share progress with friends. This strategy reinforces the company's commitment to current user base and facilitates the transition to the new console.
Ads should include unpublished games and expected remastered
Among the expected games are Donkey Kong: Bananza and Drag X Drive, developed especially for Switch 2. The pre-launch lists already highlight these titles among the most cited, even without disclosed details. In addition, other big names like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Pokémon Legends: Za should also reappear at the event, with possible release dates and unpublished gaming stretches.
However, Nintendo may announce remasteurizations of classics as part of a strategy to attract new audiences and rekindle the interest of veteran players. Recent records of patents and renewed brands suggest the return of traditional franchises, which increased the expectation for relaunch with updated graphics and new game modes.
Nintendo seeks to expand audiences with new projects and strategic partnerships
In addition to exclusive games, the company must use Direct to promote partnerships with independent studios and large international producers. Thus, these agreements are fundamental to maintain the catalog of the new competitive console in relation to direct rivals. It is also expected that some securities scheduled for 2026 will be anticipated with trailers or teasers.
Also, a possible new 3D game of Mario catches the eye. The release of the character's second movie is scheduled for April, which could serve as a commercial hook for an unprecedented title. The combination of film product and exclusive game has been effective in the company's strategy and can repeat the success of Super Mario Odyssey.
