Tuesday’s Nintendo Direct was the final major showcase for Summer Games FestivalIt showed a company in constant flux. On the one hand, there’s Nintendo’s quirky, nostalgia-inducing traditional take on new games like Rhythm sky grooveThe Nintendo Switch Sports Resort and the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Then you have the “new” Nintendo that has a new controller (which it is Now a yearAfter all) is able to play more graphics intensive games.
Thanks to the power Switch 2Nintendo, for the first time since the Gamecube, is able to go toe-to-toe with Microsoft and Sony when it comes to running games that look pretty. But since the Switch 2 has only been out for a year, developers are slowly bringing their games to the new console. This gave this year’s big Nintendo Direct an almost simplistic feel.
Titles like Stellar Blade, Dragon’s Dogma 2, Lies of P, Devil May Cry 5, and others have been on other platforms for years. Seeing it so prominently in a Nintendo Direct gives the feeling that the device is already old. To combat this, Nintendo needs to push more of its games to the forefront, and that didn’t happen in this demo.
It was exciting to see the reveal Kingdom Hearts 4Xenoblade Genesis and Ocarina of Time Remake, but Nintendo needs to put out more of itself if it wants to try to sell more Switch 2s within Persistent memory loss This leads to an increase in the prices of even older devices. The company needs to create a large user base, and that’s not going to happen with 3-year-old games that have slightly less impressive graphics than other platforms and are sold at full price.
Nintendo needs to stop reminding everyone that it has caught up with Microsoft and Sony when it comes to third-party games. Instead, its message should be that someone who buys a Switch 2 will get a treasure trove of great Nintendo games without missing out on other AAA games.
Here are all the trailers from the June 2026 Nintendo Direct.
