A Direct presentation around or after the Switch 2 launch would give Nintendo a chance to show more attention to the games releasing later this year, and potentially announce more. there's a lot we don't know about donkey kong bananza, and the game is less than two months away As with any leak, readers are advised to take this with a grain of salt, pending an official announcement. That said, there's additional reason to suspect that we'll be getting a Nintendo Direct in June. Following the collapse of E3, the video game industry as a whole has embraced June as a month to shore up plans for the second half of the year, and tease things to come in the months beyond. Nintendo is no exception, and has used the month of June to announce big plans. Last year's June Direct saw the surprise announcements of Mario & Luigi: Brothership and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, a pair of games that were released just a few months later.
