It doesn’t take much for the Nintendo Direct rumor mill to go into overdrive, and that’s what’s happening today with supposed new leaks. Rumor has it that a new June 2023 presentation is planned and it will be airing sometime this week. Additionally, we may have some insight into what will be shown.
Twitter user Pyoro_ND appears to have the early scoop. This person has leaked a number of new titles before they were officially announced, though they’ve only recently started to receive a great deal of attention.

[Preview] Hands on with Disney Illusion Island: an accessible, exploration-focused platformer with beautiful animation
Posted on 1 year ago by Nicholas Serpa in Previews, Switch | 0 comments
Disney Illusion Island feels like the type of game that Disney hasn’t made in ages. It’s not only the first original Mickey Mouse platformer that we’ve seen in about a decade, but it’s combining some of the best gameplay elements of many of its inspirations with gorgeous character animation, and a rhythm that’s especially tuned for local multiplayer. While perhaps not seeking to innovate the genre, Disney Illusion Island feels like it’s built with incredible care and respect for its IP; while I’m sure fans of Mickey and friends will appreciate this game the most, there’s a lot to love here for fans of platformers in general, and I think its exploration and puzzle elements will resonate with many.
