Nintendo revealed Star Fox, a modern remake of Star Fox 64, for Switch 2, launching June 25 with upgraded visuals, online four-on-four multiplayer, mouse controls, and interactive avatars, while still supporting the original N64-style controller; the surprise Direct announced the title amid a relatively sparse Switch 2 lineup.

With E3's cancellation, the focus this year is on Summer Game Fest, where more than 40 gaming partners will showcase their wares. Nintendo Life's writers predict that there won't be a full Nintendo Direct until September, but there might be an Indie World Showcase or a Partner Showcase. The most likely thing we'll see before the end of July is a Pikmin 4 Direct. Nintendo will be coasting on Tears of the Kingdom for a good while yet and looking to capitalise on that game and the evergreens in the back catalogue before dropping big announcements as autumn arrives.

It's unclear what Nintendo will showcase, but it's possible that demos of Tears of the Kingdom and Pikmin 4 will be available. The event precedes Nintendo's usual September Direct, so it's possible that a Summer Direct could reveal new titles.
