Nintendo’s June Direct Confirms Ocarina of Time Remake and a Heavy Switch 2 Lineup

The surprise 50-minute Direct and 95-minute Treehouse stream signaled a push to sustain Switch 2 through 2026 with major first‑party remakes, new releases and wide third‑party support.

Overview

  • Nintendo ran a roughly 50-minute Direct followed by a 95-minute Treehouse presentation on June 9 that unveiled the company’s near-term Switch and Switch 2 slate.
  • The show ended with a cinematic teaser that confirmed a ground‑up remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time as a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive slated for 2026, with no specific release date or gameplay details yet.
  • Nintendo released a Star Fox remake date and a free demo, with the full game scheduled for June 25 and the demo available on the Nintendo eShop the same day.
  • FromSoftware’s Switch 2 exclusive The Duskbloods received a new trailer and a planned closed network test this summer, but still has no final release date.
  • The Direct delivered broad third‑party support and ports—examples include Dragon’s Dogma 2, Lies of P Complete Edition and Devil May Cry 5—plus confirmation that Kingdom Hearts IV will be available on Switch 2 and a Kingdom Hearts collection arriving in October, all signaling Nintendo’s intent to build Switch 2 momentum through 2026.
