Everything shown at the June 2023 Nintendo Direct
destructoid.comToday was a new Nintendo Direct, with a whole host of news for Switch owners on what’s coming for the rest of the year on Nintendo’s handheld hybrid.
It was, honestly, a pretty up-and-down Direct. I don’t think there was a lack of big reveals; we got a new 2D Mario, an absolutely gorgeous remake of a classic Mario RPG, and the first two Pikmin games are hitting the Switch later today.
Still, for those with high hopes—especially given that this Direct is happening within the Not-E3 window—or those who don’t care too much about Mario, I could see this falling a bit flat for them. Me? I’m personally into a lot of the third-party reveals we saw, like XSEED’s new action-RPG dungeon-crawler and more Persona 5 Tactica footage.
But enough preamble. Let’s run down the highlights. Here’s everything we saw during Nintendo’s show today.
One of the known stars of this June 2023 Nintendo Direct, Pikmin 4, is here. It looks like this fourth entry is really coming together, and with a July 21 release date, it’s not that far off either.
And if you’re not caught up on Pikmin, the first two games are hitting Nintendo Switch later today! Plus, a Pikmin 4 demo is hitting on June 28.
And that’s all for the June 2023 Nintendo Direct? Any highlights or favorites? Let us know down below.
