Here's everything from the June 2024 Nintendo Direct that's coming to PC
Nintendo Direct showcases offer more for PC gamers than merely the grim spectacle of having to watch as the lingering hopes of Hollow Knight fans are dashed for another year. While first party Nintendo stuff stays locked in Mario's walled garden, we reliably get reveals for third-party games that also hit PC—particularly, we see a lot of long-awaited remasters and remakes of JRPGs, and this year's summer showcase from Nintendo continued that trend. Here's what we can look forward to from this June's Nintendo Direct.
Fantasian Neo Dimension is an «enhanced version» of an Apple Arcade RPG from Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi and famed composer Nobuo Uematsu. Hard to glean many specifics from the JRPG melodrama in the Direct trailer, but it showed off some cool mechanics: In the turn-based combat, you can control the arcs of your projectiles and hit multiple enemy targets. While running around the overworld, you can also banish encountered enemies to the «Dimengeon» to fight them all at once later, hitting tons of enemies at once by controlling the paths of your attacks. Seems neat.
The website for Fantasian Neo Dimension says it'll be out on Steam this winter, but there's no Steam listing up yet.
Mio looks a bit like a Hollow Knight-esque Metroidvania, but with androids on a colorful, overrun space ark instead of doomed bugs. It has a lovely artstyle, and its player character robot has a really cool design with hair-like energy tendrils that it can use for platforming and combat.
Mio: Memories in Orbit is planned for a 2025 release on Steam.
It's basically a Sanrio Stardew and it's coming to PC. You can make your own little creature. Is it a port of an Apple Arcade game? Yes. But Pompompurin is in there. What more could you want? (Big Challenges is the answer, but he rests with the angels now.)
Hello Kitty Island Adventure will hit PC in 2025.
Dragon Quest is getting Square's HD-2D treatment, and first up for remake is Dragon Quest 3. DQ3 is chronologically
