June's Nintendo Direct Mini showcase highlighted a bunch of games coming to the Switch in the near future. As is often the case, though, the Big N also had a few surprises for viewers, with lots of stuff announced during the showcase that you can play with no waiting. Those things included both full game releases and demos that will pop up today following the short presentation.

Here's a rundown of everything from the Nintendo Direct Mini you can play right now.

The massive upcoming expansion for Monster Hunter Rise hits Nintendo Switch and PC on June 30, but you can give Sunbreak a try right now if you can't wait that long. Capcom released a demo for the Sunbreak expansion back on June 14, but this is a new one that offers a different look at the game. Capcom has announced that its current Monster Hunter Rise demo will become unavailable on June 30 with the release of Sunbreak, so if you're on the fence about the game or its new content, now's the time to try it out.
