There’s been talk lately, fueled by trusted source NateTheHate, about a possible Nintendo Direct happening later in this month. Notably, NateTheHate has been accurate in disclosing Nintendo’s plans ahead of time, such as the date for the unveiling of the Nintendo Switch 2. It appears that this upcoming Nintendo Direct is set to occur after the launch of Donkey Kong Bananza, ensuring it doesn’t overshadow the game’s excitement. However, there are several highly anticipated games in Nintendo’s lineup for this year that we still need more details on.

Nintendo Direct rumored to be planned for later this month after Donkey Kong Bananza, says NateTheHate

In the most recent episode of NateTheHate’s podcast, he mentioned that there is rumored to be a Nintendo Direct in July, but this event will occur only after the release of Donkey Kong Bananza. If accurate, this could potentially offer answers on several significant Nintendo games that were teased during the April 2nd Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation.

One exciting game scheduled for later this year is Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, the latest installment in a beloved series. Development on this game has been ongoing since at least 2017, making its upcoming release quite significant. Unfortunately, we don’t yet know when it will be available. Metroid Prime 4 is set to launch on Nintendo Switch consoles, similar to Pokémon Legends: Z-A, but t Beyond could potentially demonstrate the mouse functionality of the Switch 2 Joy-Cons.

Discussing the capabilities of Nintendo Switch 2 games, let’s delve into some details about an upcoming title named “Drag x Drive“. In this game, players will engage in using both Joy-Cons to manage a wheelchair and attempt to shoot a basketball into a hoop. “Drag x Drive“, slated for release on August 14th, 2025, showcases an interesting blend of functionality that is worth exploring more about before its arrival.

Two more enhancements for the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 are set to drop later in the year. The Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV, slated for launch on July 24th, will introduce a new game mode to the already hit party game. Many of the mini-games in this upgrade will utilize mouse functionality and the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera to boost fun factor. Additionally, the Star-Crossed World DLC for Kirby and the Forgotten Land is scheduled for August 28th, enriching the Kirby adventure from 2022. However, it’s possible that we might get more updates related to Kirby during this potential Nintendo Direct.

The upcoming Kirby Air Riders game is slated for release this year.
