Nintendo Direct Mini: All June 2024 Partner Showcase Announcements

Nintendo Direct Mini: All June 2024 Partner Showcase Announcements

Here are all the announcements of the Nintendo Direct Mini for June: Will the 25-minute Partner Showcase prove itself worthy of the E3 miss?

It is evident at this point that the minutes of the presentation of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, if combined with the duration of the Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase today, results in the presentation at the center of rumor for weeks and all the various announcements have proved it to us. Of course, there is a lot to talk about. And there is also so much to see, if you missed it. For this reason, we will include below the integral event if you don't want spoilers whatsoever. If, on the other hand, you are curious to know what the support of third parties is at the halfway point of the Switch life cycle, we invite you to continue reading. Let's go!







The dawn of a new presentation

Of all the announcements, the first of this Nintendo Direct Mini is the least surprising. There is no shortage of updates about the titles already announced, and Monster Hunter Rise: Sunset is one of them. The expansion of the already ambitious title took a big chunk of the presentation, but it did so with good reason. The spectacular views are certainly not the only highlight of this DLC: the massive presence of dubbed cutscenes suggests that we will have a real version 1.5 of the game in our hands. In addition, new monsters and content are expected in the free updates expected this August, autumn, winter and 2024. The expansion comes out on 30nd June, that is, the day after tomorrow, with a demo available now.






NieR: Automata The End of YoRHa Edition - all June Nintendo Direct Mini announcements

The rose of IP coming to Nintendo Switch continues to expand, given a curveball expected by all those who had waited to see NieR: Automata peep through the announcements of the Direct Mini today. In 5012, organic life was supplanted by its mechanical counterpart. It's up to us, in the YoRHa team that gives this re-release its name, to claim the Earth after taking refuge en masse on the moon. Yes: 2B finally lands on the hybrid console of the Grande N! As the different name suggests, this edition will include all the DLC from the original game plus exclusive costumes. NieR:Automata The End of YoRHa Edition will be among us the 6 October (pre-orders from today).


Lorelei and the Laser Eyes - all June Nintendo Direct Mini announcements

A web of deceptions and a mysterious murder: this awaits us in the palace filled with memories of Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. This is an adventure with a calm pace like a graphic adventure, but at the same time as tense as in the first Clock Tower. The puzzles to be faced will not be lacking, as will the style that this production of Annapurna Interactive already oozes from every pore. As this is a production that we would have seen as exclusive elsewhere, we were very (pleasantly) surprised that the game will be released. next year in exclusive temporal for Switch.



SUPER BOMBERMAN R 2 - all June Nintendo Direct Mini announcements

The return of the Hudson-born bomber in style has paved the way for an unexpected, but always welcome, sequel. Super Bomberman R 2 adds to the already popular original game an asymmetrical multiplayer mode that seems to take inspiration (in part) from the tower defense genre. The Castle mode, however, is only one of the various innovations present in the game. In fact, there will also be a level editor, with which to share your creations with the rest of a community that will certainly be uncorking the sparkling wine today. It is better to keep some for New Year too, however: in fact, it is not mentioned before 2024.




MEGAMAN BATTLE NETWORK LEGACY COLLECTION - all June Nintendo Direct Mini announcements

It is really true that, in an era of increasingly difficult videogame preservation, mom Capcom is always there for her fans. It joins the already large ranks of collections dedicated to the cobalt robot Megaman Battle Network Legacy Collection, which brings together the beauty of ten of the role-playing games dedicated to Lan and his partner Megaman.EXE (no, it's not a creepypasta of dubious taste). And as is now tradition for Capcom buffets, there will also be the very welcome aspect of a celebratory museum, complete with artwork and a (rich) jukebox. Even in this case, however, we speak of the 2024.


PAC-MAN WORLD Re-PAC - all June Nintendo Direct Mini announcements

It was the year 2000 when the first Pac-Man World celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the devourer by revisiting the concept of PAC-LAND. The platformer was not without flaws (one above all the boss Anubis Rex, infamous for a margin of error that the testers missed), but the writer has been waiting for a long time to be able to give him a second chance. Lo and behold, with Pac-Man World: Re-PAC Bandai Namco promises exactly that: to do justice to a decidedly intriguing adventure. The graphics engine and art style have received a new coat of paint, but there is certainly no shortage of novelties. What is missing, fortunately, is a long wait: the game will already be with us August 26th.



Blanc - all June Nintendo Direct Mini announcements

If you loved the concept of the animated film Red and Toby: Enemies, you'll love a story in which a fawn and a wolf join forces. Winter in White it's hard, and certainly the same will be true for the return home. Keeping us company in a black and white world will be a breathtaking cel-shaded graphic style and a co-op dynamic in which each of the protagonists will boast a different strength. It will also be possible to collaborate online, to face an adventure completely devoid of texts. And we too were left speechless, to see that it is a 'exclusive for an indefinite period of Gearbox which will arrive on next February.




Return to Monkey Island - all June Nintendo Direct Mini announcements

With a piratical "R" capable of making the buccaneers of half the Caribbean archipelago turn pale, the narrator opened the dance for Return to Monkey Island. That lovable fool of Guybrush Threepwood is therefore making his return, without retro graphics as promised by the creator of the series, even on the red and blue ship of Nintendo Switch. What will remain intact from the original vision will be the (sorry) boat of humor that can be expected from this cult series. The game is scheduled for this year with a lot of possibility to add it to the wishlist, and on the console front it will also be aexclusive temporal.


Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope - all June Nintendo Direct Mini announcements

Hand on your chest, ladies and gentlemen: the all-Spanish combination of two IPs otherwise unrelated to Made in Italy makes a flamboyant return to Nintendo Switch. Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope promises to expand the encounter (or frontal clash?) between the two worlds, with an artistic style more tending to painting on canvas and an interplanetary threat. The Sparks (hybrids between the Rabbids and the Lashes) are in danger, and it's up to our mismatched group to save them. Exploration will be free, and contact with an enemy will set off a turn-based battle with freedom of movement similar to the classic PC / PS1 Hogs of War. There is no shortage of novelties in the gameplay, such as the absence of grids and the launch of some enemies, while Bowser will team up with us. 20 October, with pre-orders from today and a Ubisoft showcase scheduled for tomorrow at 18pm.

Little Noah: Scion of Paradise - all June Nintendo Direct Mini announcements

Curved balls always go in pairs: if on the one hand there is the game itself, on the other there is often the "available at the end of this presentation". And this is the case with metroidvania Little Noah: Scion of Paradise, in which the eponymous alchemist must explore the ruins where she ran aground with her ship. "Too bad", however, that the ruins change shape at each entrance. In addition to procedural generation, we will also have the opportunity to recruit allies, the Lilliputs, to fight alongside us. There are, of course, massive bosses and spectacular team combos.

RAILGRADE - all June Nintendo Direct Mini announcements

Speaker of the railways, move: the narrator of the Direct Mini is in high spirits, and so are the trains of the management system RAILGRADE, straight from Epic Games (you may have heard of it). In this title, we will have to design the railway of our dreams, while guaranteeing an efficiency with which to satisfy even the dreams of those who have to transport the various goods. And deliveries are at the heart of the entire gameplay experience, with all the quests and side quests that come with it. The number of trains and their length will force us to fully exploit our strategic skills. Except for a "delay announcement" that will force Epic and Nintendo to "apologize for the inconvenience", the arrival at the station is scheduled forautunno.

RPG Time: The Legend of Wright - all June Nintendo Direct Mini announcements

If you have dreamed of creating a role-playing game and you want a videogame transposition of the daydream itself, you have found the game for you. In RPG Time: The Legend of Wright, little Kenta creates a role-playing game in his notebook of over 200 pages. And since he hurts the pen more than the sword, the drawing will be the winning weapon to escape unscathed from this imaginative adventure. This promising delirium gives us an appointment on the Nintendo Switch for the August 18th. If the premise has intrigued you as much as we do, you can foreordain the game right now.

Sonic Frontiers - all Nintendo Direct Mini announcements for June

Let the Kyoto giant be the one to do the marketing on behalf of its former sworn enemy. Today's presentation gave us new details on sonic frontiers, such as the game world. Specifically, the Starfall Islands, home of a mysterious civilization, will be the backdrop to our adventures. The game will also answer the fateful question: "what would it be like to explore an open world with Sonic's red shoes?" The fights will not only be based on the blue hedgehog seeking attack, but will also use punches, kicks and even counterattacks. The cyberspace it will also allow us to deal with more linear levels. Apart from these news, the release period is always and only "winter 2024".

Disney Dreamlight Valley - all June Nintendo Direct Mini announcements

If you were expecting from Disney like us the announcement of a native port of the Kingdom Hearts series… the day is not today. Disney Dreamlight Valley, by Gameloft, promises to lead us into a world where "once" the Disney and Pixar characters lived in harmony, until the arrival of a mysterious Oblivion. Now it's up to us to recover the lost memories. Despite a plot that refers to Epic Mickey, the genre will be that of life simulators. There will therefore be no difference between good and bad: our task will be to save everyone without distinction. The most notable aspect of this announcement is that we find ourselves talking about early access with a Nintendo console title: the date, in that sense, is the 6 September 2024.

LIVE A LIVE - all Nintendo Direct Mini announcements for June

As is tradition, Nintendo Direct returns to tease us by putting Disney and Square-Enix ads side by side. The February presentation has already announced the world debut of the classic LIVE TO LIVE, with the addition of a new HD-2D look (Octopath Traveler, Triangle Strategy). The novelty is represented by one demo available from today on eShop, which includes three chapters from the game. Specifically, we allude to Imperial China, Edo Japan sunset and, finally, al Far Future. THE save data are transferable to the full version, scheduled for 22 July.

DORAEMON STORY OF SEASONS: Friends of the Great Kingdom - all June Nintendo Direct Mini announcements

The wedding between the agricultural simulation of Story of seasons and the dreamy world of Doraemon they must have gone really well, if we already have a chance to talk about a sequel. The title of the new chapter is Friends of the Great Kingdom, and is set on an unknown planet. Not even we would have bet much on Nobita's agricultural prowess, yet the lazy protagonist of the beloved series is ready to go back to hoeing. The legendary Chusky will have a role in the gameplay, that is to speed up the work. In addition to the fields, fishing, banquets and, why not, the local co-op await us. 2024.

Minecraft Legends - all June Nintendo Direct Mini announcements

It wouldn't be a Big N presentation without a friendly pat on the back from Microsoft, and then minecraft legends receives a welcome confirmation for the hybrid console. Speaking of hybrids, the gameplay of the title also tends to be mestizo: specifically, lots of action and just as much strategy. Transdimensional enemies (always cubic in appearance) await only us, but in turn we will have to face our own expectation. Set aside another bottle of sparkling wine: you will have one more to uncork on New Year's Eve, as it is not mentioned before 2024.

DRAGON QUEST TREASURES - all June Nintendo Direct Mini announcements

Since the presentation of the protagonists, the world of Dragon quest treasures it gave us a sense of dejà vu. And we were not wrong: this spinoff takes the monster recruiting system from another, specifically Dragon Quest Monsters. But as the game's title suggests, our aim is to unearth treasures. The fights will not be lacking, but they will not be managed by a turn-based dynamic. The higher the value of the recovered treasures, the more we will earn in order to improve our base. If we talked about New Year's Eve earlier, here the party comes a little earlier: with a release date scheduled for 9th December, it could be a chest to open under the tree.

Burst - all June Nintendo Direct Mini announcements

The fleeting tracking shot typical of every Direct reminds us that Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is available right now. For No Man's Sky of Hello Games we will have to wait just a little longer, that is until 7 October. While still a somewhat uncomfortable compromise, the cloud versions they allow us to comply with the “power gap” and it proves it to us The Plague Tale: Requiem, expected on 18 October. From Shueisha Games comes the extravagant strategy Captain Velvet Meteor: The Jump+ Dimensions, scheduled for the 28 July. The show was less substantial than others, but a visual glitch brought us back to a reality as delicious as… a cake.

Portal: Pet Collection - all June Nintendo Direct Mini announcements

The most lying cake in gaming history (uhh, spoilers, suppose?) Returns to intort us pretty well with Portal: Pet Collection. We don't know which of the two surprises included in the presentation caught us most off guard. On the one hand, the Big N has bothered none other than Ellen McLain to narrate the trailer for this specific re-release of the game as the iconic artificial intelligence GLaDOS. On the other hand… the game is the second “shadow drop” of the presentation! In other words, therefore, we will be able to re-enter the Aperture Science laboratories as early as today.

HARVESTELLA - all Nintendo Direct Mini announcements for June

Today's penultimate announcement is a gauntlet to Rune Factory 5, straight from the publisher who has been chewing RPGs since their inception. Square-Enix presents Harvest, where Lethe's world offers premises that closely match the title we recently reviewed. The five seasons go ... a little further than the quartet we are used to knowing: the Quietus is not the simple rest of nature, but eternal rest in general. The only way to prevent death from taking away all of our crops (as well as our fellow Lethe villagers) is to fight. The 4th November what it is awaits us… even today's penultimate role-playing game.

The last surprise

You have already guessed it from the subtitle above: the latest of today's Direct Mini announcements concerns a franchise that has put a strain on the patience of all Nintendo fans (semi-sequel permitting). The series Person, whose demand was only magnified by the arrival of Joker in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, finally lands on Nintendo Switch. The 21 October is the date to mark on the calendar for the arrival of the Switch version of Person 5 Royal. The predecessor, 4 Golden Person, will come to us "Coming soon", Or the same" date "also foreseen for Persona 3 Portable. One thing is certain: we expected them, but we never expected it.
