The next Nintendo Direct is scheduled for June 18 at 10AM ET. Nintendo<\/a> said during its latest earnings call<\/a> that a showcase would take place sometime in June and the company has stuck by its word. The Direct is just far enough away from Summer Game Fest<\/a> to let Nintendo have all of the attention to itself.<\/p>\n The stream will run for around 40 minutes and focus on games coming to Switch later this year. It really does feel like this is the swansong period for the Switch, as Nintendo confirmed it will finally reveal the console’s successor by next April<\/a>. However, the company has made it clear that there will be no discussion of the Switch 2, Super Switch or whatever the next console is called during the Nintendo Direct.<\/p>\n That said, here’s hoping Hollow Knight: Silksong<\/em> will show up here \u2014 that highly anticipated sequel was a notable no-show during Summer Game Fest. I have my fingers crossed for a Donkey Kong platformer too. It’s been too dang long since the last one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
