Update: A 25-minute Nintendo Direct Mini was released this morning and was packed with games, trailers and announcements for Nintendo Switch owners. Among the most important announcements: Persona games are finally coming to Switch, now a series of demos and games are available in the eShop and we finally know when we will play Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. You can watch the full Direct Mini again in the video below and access the links for our full coverage of the event.
Original story: Nintendo has announced the upcoming Nintendo Direct Mini event. It takes place today, June 28, and begins at 6:00 p.m. While we don’t know exactly what will be presented, Nintendo said it will focus on third-party games, which means we shouldn’t expect to see Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 or Pokémon Scarlet / Violet. The “Mini” show will contain about 25 minutes of information on upcoming third-party Switch games, and it looks like a detail has already been leaked. This is what you need to know to watch Live as soon as you start.

Playing now: Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase – June 2022
What time does the Nintendo Direct Mini for June 2022 start?
The event begins today, Tuesday, June 28 at 6:00 PT / 9:00 ET, but will be an a la carte broadcast, rather than a live broadcast, according to Nintendo’s tweet. You can watch it on YouTube.
This is the second Nintendo Direct in as many weeks, as a June 22 Nintendo Direct event centered on Xenoblade Chronicles 3, which opens in July.
What to expect
Nintendo gave no indication as to which games might appear during the June 27 event, but some possibilities include Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope and Bayonetta 3. The former seems like a safe bet after the release date of Sparks of Hope. Hope leaked to the Ubisoft store. There are also many other possibilities, such as Sports Story, Hollow Knight: Silksong (which finally resurfaced earlier this month at the Xbox Not-E3 conference) and more. Rumors have also suggested that Nier Automata and Persona could be included in the Direct.
Rumor has it that there could be another Nintendo Direct on June 29 that many expect to be Nintendo’s traditional summer showcase, but that’s just speculation so far. Reporter Jeff Grubb of GameSpot’s sister site, Giant Bomb, said Nintendo will host several summer events this year, but it is possible that this event will end its plans for the month.
