Nintendo Direct - Highlights?

Twinoni — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 13:48:41 GMT

Finally got around to watching the Nintendo Direct from Tuesday, great show if you like RPG's :).
That said, nice to have Ocarina of Time finally confirmed. That said, I don't yet have a Switch 2, but now I'm left wondering, should I get one before the price hike in September, or wait in case the do a special edition one for Zelda?

Highlights for me include Pokopia and Orbitals (if you enjoyed 2 player co-op games like split Fiction, think this will be great - check out those retro anime graphics).

What's everyone else interested in?

Ocarina of time is a big on for me, pleased it looks like a full remake and not just a reskin! Definitely makes me consider a switch 2! Also Starfox and any and all Final Fantasy stuff! Dreaming of an FF9 remake and if that came to switch that'd be awesome! Would love to have seen more new titles or something akin to Mario Odyssey 2. 🙂

@Twinoni I'm still waiting for that killer app to make me want to make the jump from my original Switch.

I've heard mixed things on the new Mario Kart, and whilst I loved Lylat Wars on the N64, I'm not sure if a new Star Fox alone is quite a system seller.

I'll need to take a look into some of those RPGs announced though... I enjoyed the Octopath games on the Switch, so something of that ilk would definitely be a winner.

(Also nobody needed to tell me that an option for FFXIV on the go is soon going to be out there. That's dangerous)
