What to expect from the August 2024 Nintendo Direct

It ’s always best to keep down in the mouth expectation around a game showcase , and that ’s by all odds the sheath here . The first affair you need to know is that this is actually two presentation . First up is an Indie World Showcase , which puts the spotlight on indie coming to the weapons platform . After that is the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase , so await third - party announcements . So , no , we wo n’t be bring any more news on aMetroid Prime 4release date , but we might get an update on when the informal Lord of the Rings gameTales of the ShireorLego Horizon Adventuresare coming to the platform .

The most important thing to note going into this Direct is thatNintendo confirmedthere wo n’t be any news about theSwitch successor . The games featured in these two showcase will likely fill out Nintendo ’s calendar for the balance of the yr and into other 2025 without talking about Switch 2 launching titles .

It ’s deserving observe that Nintendo usually holds a Direct in September , so this one is coming in a second early . We could speculate wildly about what this could mean , but it ’s possible Nintendo pushed it a snatch to make room for a Switch successor announcement sometime this declension .
