We are expecting a cavalcade of new titles for both the current Nintendo Switch and its successor to grace our screens later this year.

Nintendo Korea is set to stream its online showcase, 'Nintendo Direct', via 'Nintendo Today' starting at 11 PM on the 9th. While you can catch the Korean-subtitled version exclusively on Nintendo Today, those of you who prefer to bypass the translation can tune into the international broadcasts on the official YouTube channels.

The presentation will clock in at roughly 50 minutes, with a firm focus on upcoming software slated for the latter half of 2026. The local broadcast is essentially the North American stream with Korean subtitles tacked on, meaning it will likely feature a few titles that won't see the light of day in Korea. Once the Direct wraps up, the North American broadcast will roll straight into 'Nintendo Treehouse', the firm's dedicated livestream.

Naturally, the community is buzzing with anticipation. Speculation is rife, with fans hoping for a look at 'Fire Emblem: Manjacheonhong'—first teased last September—and FromSoftware’s long-whispered 'Dusk Blood'. And, of course, the ever-persistent rumours regarding 'The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time' are back, with everyone waiting to see if it finally makes an appearance.
