These livestreams can be a little hit-or-miss when it comes to what\u2019s revealed, but this month\u2019s edition was jam-packed with reveals (despite the leaks). These are some of the key announcements that took place over the event.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time-remake\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake<\/h2>\n<div class=\"_embedContainer_wioo3_16\">\n<div class=\"_container_1stzb_1\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/r8eMoxo4ipE\/sddefault.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/r8eMoxo4ipE\/hqdefault.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_facade_1stzb_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/r8eMoxo4ipE\/hqdefault.jpg\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7777777777777777\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/picture><button class=\"_playButton_1stzb_12\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"_playButtonText_1stzb_39\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The headliner for this event was a remake of <b>The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time <\/b>for the Nintendo Switch 2. And this doesn\u2019t look to be an Ocarina of Time 3D situation either \u2013 that is, we\u2019ll be seeing the game re-made with modern graphics. The trailer itself doesn\u2019t show us much (though it does have some of the classic Ocarina of Time motifs), but we do get a release window for <b>2026<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"kingdom-hearts-iv\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">Kingdom Hearts IV\u00a0<\/h2>\n<div class=\"_embedContainer_wioo3_16\">\n<div class=\"_container_1stzb_1\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/kIpQz_9zQS0\/sddefault.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/kIpQz_9zQS0\/hqdefault.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_facade_1stzb_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/kIpQz_9zQS0\/hqdefault.jpg\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7777777777777777\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/picture><button class=\"_playButton_1stzb_12\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"_playButtonText_1stzb_39\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Another upcoming game that got its time in the spotlight is <b>Kingdom Hearts IV<\/b>. The game was originally announced back in 2022 as part of KH\u2019s 20th anniversary, but after four long years, it finally gets its own official reveal, and from Nintendo, no less. The teaser showcases some of the gameplay we can expect from the game, and while there\u2019s no release date, KH4 will be available on at launch for the Switch 2.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Alongside that, we also have re-packaged releases for some of the existing games via <b>Kingdom Hearts Collection [I~III]<\/b>. Included in this bundle are Kingdom Hearts -HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX-, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, and Kingdom Hearts III + Re Mind DLC. The collection is available now on <b>Steam<\/b> for S$147, while it\u2019ll arrive on consoles on 8 October.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"deltarune-chapter-5\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">Deltarune Chapter 5<\/h2>\n<div class=\"_embedContainer_wioo3_16\">\n<div class=\"_container_1stzb_1\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/n5y22LUfetA\/sddefault.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/n5y22LUfetA\/hqdefault.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_facade_1stzb_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/n5y22LUfetA\/hqdefault.jpg\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7777777777777777\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/picture><button class=\"_playButton_1stzb_12\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"_playButtonText_1stzb_39\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">It seems like Toby Fox has an in with Nintendo, given that Deltarune\u2019s official paid release outside of PC was announced during last year\u2019s Switch 2 Direct. <b>Deltarune Chapter 5 <\/b>is the latest in Kris\u2019s saga, and we get a release date that\u2019s not too far from now \u2013 <b>24 June<\/b>, just in two weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The new chapter will release as a free update for all the platforms the game is available on; that\u2019s <b>PS5<\/b>, <b>PS4<\/b>, <b>Switch and Switch 2<\/b>, and <b>Steam<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"xenoblade-genesis\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">Xenoblade Genesis<\/h2>\n<div class=\"_embedContainer_wioo3_16\">\n<div class=\"_container_1stzb_1\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/ttLdz0wGjmc\/sddefault.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/ttLdz0wGjmc\/hqdefault.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_facade_1stzb_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/ttLdz0wGjmc\/hqdefault.jpg\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7777777777777777\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/picture><button class=\"_playButton_1stzb_12\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"_playButtonText_1stzb_39\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\"><b>Xenoblade Genesis <\/b>is the first original Xenoblade game of the Switch 2 era, and it\u2019s set to arrive in 2027. We\u2019re still at least half a year away from that, but in the meantime, the three mainline Xenoblade Chronicles games are getting their own Switch 2 Editions as well, with Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition being available today.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Switch 2 Editions of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and 3 will be released on <b>30 July <\/b>and <b>3 December <\/b>this year, respectively.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"final-fantasy-resonance\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">Final Fantasy Resonance<\/h2>\n<div class=\"_embedContainer_wioo3_16\">\n<div class=\"_container_1stzb_1\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/JIymhuh53pU\/sddefault.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/JIymhuh53pU\/hqdefault.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_facade_1stzb_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/JIymhuh53pU\/hqdefault.jpg\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7777777777777777\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/picture><button class=\"_playButton_1stzb_12\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"_playButtonText_1stzb_39\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">You might be surprised to learn that <b>Final Fantasy Resonance <\/b>is the descendant of another FF game \u2013 Brave Exvius, a mobile gacha game that was shut down in October last year. It seems that Square Enix wasn\u2019t keen on letting the work put into the mobile game go to waste, as Resonance will be an adaption of Brave Exvius\u2019s first season story arc.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">But more than that, it\u2019s being billed as a complete rebuild, and it shows; the game is the first turn-based HD-2D Final Fantasy title. While Brave Exvius was also turn-based, the idea of playing a more classically-oriented Final Fantasy game in the HD-2D style must be igniting the flames of many an old Final Fantasy fan. Making it even better is that this game, unlike its mobile predecessor, will not have microtransactions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Final Fantasy Resonance will be released for Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam on <b>22 October 2026<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"fire-emblem-fortune-s-weave\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">Fire Emblem: Fortune\u2019s Weave<\/h2>\n<div class=\"_embedContainer_wioo3_16\">\n<div class=\"_container_1stzb_1\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/Rl5_C4sc5zk\/sddefault.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/Rl5_C4sc5zk\/hqdefault.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_facade_1stzb_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/Rl5_C4sc5zk\/hqdefault.jpg\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7777777777777777\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/picture><button class=\"_playButton_1stzb_12\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"_playButtonText_1stzb_39\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Continuing this RPG thread, <b>Fire Emblem: Fortune\u2019s Weave <\/b>may not be a new announcement, but we do finally get a release date for <b>17 September<\/b>.

Like Nintendo Switch Sports, however, Sportsmates are who you\u2019ll be facing off against, despite the new Tomodachi Life game bringing Miis back into the spotlight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Nintendo Switch Sports Resort will release on exclusively on the Switch 2 on <b>22 October<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ports-galore-and-more\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">Ports galore, and more<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">These six games are just some of the announcements we got at this June\u2019s Direct. Amongst the sea of reveals, we were also told of a few third party games being ported to the Switch 2, including <b>Minecraft<\/b>, <b>Stellar Blade<\/b>, <b>Devil May Cry 5<\/b>, <b>Metaphor: ReFantazio<\/b> and <b>Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2<\/b>.\u00a0There were also a few announcements that were surprisingly buried in the Partner Spotlight showcase, including <b>Atelier Karia<\/b> and <b>Tales of Eternia Remastered<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">While Deltarune may have been the highlight indie game in this Direct, that\u2019s not to say it was the only one. <b>Orbitals<\/b>, a co-op space adventure game with an 80\u2019s anime art style, is set to release exclusively for the Switch 2 on <b>3 September<\/b>, while <b>Big Walk<\/b>, a somewhat more relaxed co-op game about walking and talking, will release on <b>4 August<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Finally, while Ocarina of Time may be the star when it comes to first-party Nintendo titles announced, we also got new trailers for the upcoming <b>Rhythm Heaven Groove, Splatoon Raiders <\/b>and <b>Star Fox<\/b>, the latter of which has a free demo out now. <b>Donkey Kong Bananza\u2019s<\/b> DK Island and Emerald Rush DLC featuring a limited-time Super Mario Bros. crossover (though only in cosmetics), while <b>Pokemon Pokopia<\/b> will be getting an Expansion Pass DLC, alongside a free update featuring a new Dive mechanic, later in August.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwarezone.com.sg\/entertainment\/gaming\/jnintendo-direct-switch-2-event\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another Nintendo Direct has come and passed us.
