Tonight’s the night. Nintendo officially kicks off its first general Nintendo Direct of 2026 at 10pm Singapore time — a roughly 50-minute showcase covering Switch and Switch 2 games for the second half of the year. If you’ve been wondering what Nintendo has up its sleeve for the rest of 2026, this is the event you don’t want to miss.
When to Tune In From Singapore
The Nintendo Direct 6.9.2026 goes live at:
- 10:00 PM SGT (22:00) — Tuesday, 9 June 2026
- 7:00 AM PDT / 10:00 AM EDT / 3:00 PM BST for reference
The main presentation runs for approximately 50 minutes. Right after it ends, Nintendo Treehouse: Live begins — a ~95-minute hands-on gameplay session showcasing select titles from the Direct. Set that alarm now.
Where to Watch the Nintendo Direct
You can catch the stream in a few places:
- Nintendo of America on YouTube — the main destination
- Nintendo Today! app — available on iOS and Android with a Nintendo Account
- Nintendo’s official website
The embed above will go live at 10pm SGT, so you can watch right here if you want.
What Could Nintendo Announce Tonight?
Nintendo has confirmed only that the Direct covers “news and announcements about games coming to Switch 1 and 2.” No specific titles have been officially revealed ahead of time. That said, a few things are widely expected to appear:
Almost Certain
- Star Fox — the N64 remake releases in just 16 days (25 June), so a final trailer is a near-certainty.
- Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave — both announced titles that need release date confirmation before year’s end.
- Mario Kart World DLC — character and course additions have been rumoured since launch.
The Big Rumours (Unconfirmed)
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake — industry insider NateTheHate claims it’s targeting a holiday 2026 release window. If this drops tonight, expect the internet to lose its mind.
- The Duskbloods — FromSoftware’s Switch 2 exclusive has been quiet since its reveal; a release date or new gameplay tonight would go down very well.
- Third-party Switch 2 ports — Metaphor: ReFantazio, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and Monster Hunter Wilds have all been linked to Switch 2 in rumour circuits.
Treat all of the above as hype, not fact, until Nintendo says otherwise tonight.
Why This Direct Matters More Than Most
This is the first general Nintendo Direct since Switch 2 launched — and Nintendo’s H2 2026 first-party calendar is looking unusually thin right now. Tonight’s showcase is essentially Nintendo’s opportunity to fill the holiday season with big names. For Singapore gamers who’ve already grabbed a Switch 2, the Direct could determine whether that console sits on the shelf or gets heavy use through the end of the year.
Last Words
Whatever Nintendo has planned, tonight’s 10pm SGT broadcast has the potential to be one of the most significant Directs in years.
