Nintendo will host a Nintendo Direct on June 9. As the first general Direct since last September, all eyes are on whether it will finally unveil the rumored remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
| 📒 | - Nintendo Direct June 9, 11:00 PM (June 9, 2026) - First General Direct in 9 Months to Focus on Second-Half 2026 Releases - Anticipation builds for Ocarina remake and new first-party titles; return of Call of Duty to Nintendo after 13 years also in focus |
On the 8th, Nintendo announced via its official website and social media channels that it will broadcast 'Nintendo Direct June 9, 2026.' The presentation will focus on titles scheduled for release in the second half of 2026, providing updates on both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch software.
With a runtime of approximately 50 minutes, this is expected to be one of the largest events in recent memory. It has been about nine months since Nintendo's last general Direct in September of last year. Throughout 2026, Nintendo has primarily held title-specific Directs for games like the Super Mario Galaxy movie, Tomodachi Life: Heart-Pounding Life, and Star Fox. The 30-minute Nintendo Direct in February was a Partner Showcase focused on third-party titles.
Expectations are rising for the reveal of new first-party Nintendo titles that have been the subject of numerous rumors. Nate the Hate, who previously accurately predicted the announcement of the Star Fox 64 remake, has cited internal sources to suggest that a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will be revealed.
Confirmed titles for the 2026 lineup include Splatoon Raiders, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, Rhythm Heaven: Miracle Stars, and Star Fox, with many other second-half releases expected to receive further details. With the Call of Duty series returning to a Nintendo platform for the first time in about 13 years via Modern Warfare 4, it is likely to be a significant highlight of the broadcast.
The timing is also significant as the Nintendo Switch 2 enters its second year. This broadcast is expected to be a major event that outlines the console's second-year lineup and second-half schedule, potentially revealing the titles that will drive future hardware sales.
Meanwhile, with the Summer Game Fest having recently concluded its major online showcase alongside the Xbox Games Showcase, Nintendo is set to take the stage on its own.
The Nintendo Direct can be viewed on June 9 at 11:00 PM KST via Nintendo's YouTube channel and the Nintendo Today app.
