The summer ain't over yetWe've seen several major publishers showcase their big streams in the month of June, and now, it's Nintendo's turn. A new Nintendo Direct is set to air on June 21, 2023.
Announced this morning on social media (https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1671155958448529408), Nintendo will host the new Direct at 7 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. ET on its video channels. You can watch along through the embed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7t5jnpkCkI) below:

As for content, Nintendo says there will be "roughly 40 minutes" of information on Nintendo Switch titles, mostly launching this year. A specific focus is Pikmin 4, one of Nintendo's already announced titles set to launch on July 21 (https://www.destructoid.com/pikmin-4-plucks-out-a-release-date-of-july-21/), just a month after the Direct. No other games were specified in the tweet.
The year ahead for NintendoThere is space ahead for Nintendo to fill with some new game announcements. Outside Pikmin 4 and the roll-out of Pok?mon Scarlet and Violet's DLC, there isn't too much on Nintendo's docket at this point in time.
Hopefuls are likely crossing their fingers for either Mario or Samus to make an appearance with a brand-new game. Metroid Prime 4 has been sitting on the sidelines for a while, and speculation always seem to swirl around Directs about its next appearance.
There's no shortage of third-party or indie hopefuls either. Square Enix often has news to share at these events, games like Metal Slug Tactics have been quiet for a while, and of course, there's always Silksong.
With Nintendo looking at the year ahead, I'm personally hoping for some firm dates set and titles locked for the coming fall. PlayStation, Xbox, Capcom, Ubisoft, and many others have already announced held their summer streams. This is, judging by the relative time-frame, a Direct that would've lined up with E3. So my own hope is for at least one or two E3-caliber reveals.
We'll find out tomorrow during the June 2023 Nintendo Direct at 7 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. ET.
