The day is finally upon us! Nintendo’s first full-fat Direct in nine months will get underway in just a few hours. In our original post below, you’ll find everything you need to know about today’s show, including the runtime and when it’ll kick off in your region.
Nintendo has announced that a long-awaited (and much-rumoured) Nintendo Direct is coming our way today, 9th June.
As revealed on the Nintendo Today! app, the showcase is set to get underway from 3pm BST / 7am PT / 10am ET, offering up 50 minutes of news and announcements about games coming to Switch 1 and 2.
If that wasn’t enough, the Direct will be followed by a 95-minute Nintendo Treehouse: Live, “showcasing gameplay of select titles featured during the Nintendo Direct”. One of the surprise announcements? Let’s hope so!
Here’s the exact time that the show will kick off in your region:
- North America: 7am PDT / 8am MDT / 9am CDT / 10am EDT
- UK/Ire: 3pm BST
- Europe: 4pm CEST / 5pm EEST
- Asia/Oceania: 11pm JST / 10pm AWST / 12am (Wed) AEST
As for what’ll make an appearance in the showcase, your guess is as good as ours. Nintendo’s first-party release schedule is looking pretty light for the rest of 2026 as it stands, with Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave as the last project still shrouded in mystery. Some big releases to prop up the second half of the year would be nice, then. An Ocarina of Time remake, perhaps? We’ll see…
What are you hoping to see in tomorrow’s Direct? Let us know in the comments.
