The Nintendo Direct scheduled for today is anticipated to be lacking in first-party games, although it is likely to surprise viewers with unexpected announcements.

Prior to today’s broadcast, Nintendo disclosed information about a new Direct episode, prompting speculation among fans about what to expect. Will there be updates on Metroid Prime 4, or could we finally witness the rumored releases of The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and Twilight Princess on the Switch? However, trustworthy Nintendo informant ‘Pyoro’ recommends fans to keep their hopes in check. According to the insider, while there may be a few unexpected reveals, Nintendo’s showcase is expected to have fewer first-party games. “It will contain fewer 1st party offerings, but I foresee some unexpected reveals,” shared the leaker on X in regards to Nintendo’s internal projects.

In a recent cryptic message posted on X by ‘Pyoro’, a series of emojis was followed by the phrase “Summer is here.” This sequence has led many fans to speculate that Nintendo may unveil a new Mario & Sonic title or possibly a new installment of Tomodachi Life during the broadcast.

Regrettably, no additional information was disclosed by the informant, leaving fans eager for the Direct airing later today to uncover Nintendo’s plans for the latter part of the year. As reiterated by Nintendo, the event will not feature details on the forthcoming Nintendo Switch successor.

What are your hopes for today’s Direct episode? Are we likely to receive updates on the new Metroid series, the rumored 2D Zelda game, or the speculated Star Fox revival? Share your thoughts down below.

The Nintendo Direct is set to start at 10 am ET. Stay tuned for updates on the Direct’s content. We will also provide coverage of the broadcast once it goes live.
