Nintendo Direct Mini live coverage – All the news as it happens
gamesradar.comThe Switch has a handful of high profile games in development from third-party partners, many of which we're expecting to see during the Nintendo Direct Mini June 2022 showcase.
Among the biggest are updates on Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope and Bayonetta 3. It's been quite a while since we last received any news on either of these 2022 releases, and we're keen to not only see more of the games in action but to get release dates too.
We're also hoping to see more out of Square Enix's long-awaited Live-A-Live, a remake of the 1993 SNES cult classic RPG that got little play outside of Japan, ahead of its release date this July. Additionally, there's always a chance that titles like No Man's Sky and Marvel's Midnight Suns will appear to show off how well these upcoming releases work on the handheld hybrid.
That's just the tip of the iceberg, of course. We are predicting that Nintendo's partners have a few surprises up their sleeves to make the Nintendo Switch lineup for 2022 truly unbeatable.
The Nintendo Direct Mini has a confirmed run-time of 25 minutes, with Nintendo expected to pack this showcase with details on new Switch games from various industry partners. We're expecting updates from third-party publishers like 2K Games and Ubisoft, as well as developers such as PlatinumGames and Atlus.
This means that there won't be any news around first-party games. These include: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, Splatoon 3, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3. The latter received its own dedicated Direct last week, as developer Monolith Soft announced that Xenoblade Chronicles 3's Expansion Pass will contain new characters, story quests, and more.
