Switch 2 Nintendo Direct showcase tipped for July

Ahead of the Switch 2 launch, Nintendo did hold a Nintendo Direct stream to showcase a number of launch-day and launch-period titles for the new console. However, outside of this summer, we know very little about the Switch 2 release schedule for the rest of 2025. That should change quite soon, as a Nintendo Direct is now expected in July.

Nintendo skipped this month's Summer Game Fest for new game announcements but news is just around the corner. According to popular Nintendo-focused YouTuber, BeatEmUps, a Nintendo Direct is going to happen in July.

Aside from discussing the rumoured Direct, he also delved into a few of the games expected to be shown, including the likes of The Witcher 3, Death Stranding, Metroid Prime 4, Animal Crossing and new GameCube titles for the Switch 2's emulator.

Most of these are safe bets for third-party titles, as Death Stranding is now available on everything, from PS5, to the iPhone and even Xbox. CD Projekt Red and Atlus are both well-known for their strong support of Nintendo platforms. On the first-party front, Metroid Prime 4 fans are already on red alert after recent public advertisements for the game proclaimed that it was ‘available now', leading to rumours that the release date could be much closer than previously thought.

KitGuru Says: Nintendo did just announce plans for Gamescom 2025, so if there is a Direct in July, some of what is shown could be playable at demo booths for attendees.
