June 2023 Nintendo Direct announced for tomorrow
Nintendo has confirmed that a Nintendo Direct is coming tomorrow morning.
The rumors were true. Nintendo has confirmed that it will be holding a Nintendo Direct tomorrow, June 21, at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET. This comes after the publisher was noticeably absent during the Summer Game Fest period, and amid questions about the company’s fall schedule.
Nintendo made the announcement on its Twitter account. The Nintendo Direct will run for 40 minutes and feature "information focused mainly on Switch titles launching this year." This includes new details on Pikmin 4, which is set to be released on July 21, 2023. After the release of Pikmin 4, Nintendo’s plans for the rest of the year become foggy, so we expect to learn more about what the company is planning for the second half of the year during the Direct.
Tune in on June 21 at 7:00 a.m. PT for a #NintendoDirect livestream featuring roughly 40 minutes of information focused mainly on Nintendo Switch titles launching this year, including new details on Pikmin 4.

A June 2023 Direct was heavily rumored before Nintendo officially announced it. Some of the rumors hinted at a new 2D Mario game, as well as a remake of an SNES game. We’re also curious to see what third-party titles appear during the showcase (Hollow Knight: Silksong, anyone?).
Nintendo is hot off the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which will undoubtedly be a Game of the Year frontrunner come December. However, Nintendo still wants to fill out its calendar to ensure Switch fans (and investors) are satiated throughout the rest of the year.

Full-size Bowser's Fury would be incredible, just call it Odyssey 2.
Hell, I'd settle for a Galaxy 2 port since it's the second-best one after Odyssey.-

Yep, that got old, especially during endgame. Would love for something a little less frequent.

Did they ever fix the Chrono Cross remaster?

Also saw a Mario RPG remake rumor

coming from a source named papagenos he prob got trolled by someone

A Chrono Trigger remake has lots of room to F it up. I hope they don't make massive changes. I think Chained Echoes proves games like that still slap without crazy modern graphics.

Metroid Prime 4, bitches!

Pikmin is next month right? Nintendo has been like this for the past few years where they do Directs and really only focus on what is coming out in the next 6ish months. I would be shocked if they don't have something planned for the Fall.

They generally announce games for the back half of the year in June and September. For almost a decade they've been giving a 3-12 month heads up on new first party games. I believe Paper Mario The Origami King only had a two month heads-up despite being a July release.
Bayonetta 3 and Metroid Prime 4 were two big exceptions that I believe was Nintendo wanting to reassure people they weren't going to drop the Switch like they did the Wii U. Keeping things locked down is obviously good since Metroid Prime 4 was completely rebooted. Luigi's Mansion 3 had numerous internal delays and was originally supposed to be on Wii U, etc.
