The entire presentation will last approximately 40 minutes, with a particular focus on Pikmin 4.

What to expect in the June 2023 Nintendo Direct

Nintendo's confirmed first-party release schedule for the remainder of 2023 is thin, with Everybody 1-2 Switch set to launch June 30 and the aforementioned Pikmin 4 coming July 21. Disney Illusion Island, a Switch-exclusive platformer, is also set for a late July launch.

Other than those titles, there's no official word on what Nintendo's first-party studios are launching between now and the end of the year. Rumors surfaced this weekend of a new 2D Mario adventure in the works, as well as "a remake of a SNES classic," which is speculated to be Super Mario RPG.
