A new Nintendo Direct will be held tomorrow, June 18, Nintendo has announced. It will air at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET / 3 PM in the UK / 4 PM in Europe. Expect it to cover titles releasing in the latter half of 2024.

This is one of the rare instances in which Nintendo confirmed ahead of time that a new presentation was coming. When president Shuntaro Furukawa said at the start of May that the Switch successor will be announced within the next fiscal year, it was also stated that a Nintendo Direct would air sometime this month. However, the event will focus only on titles for the current Switch.

Those interested in getting a closer look at Lesson Learned can do so with new gameplay. The tower defense title landed on Switch this week.

For more information about it, check out the following overview:

If you’ve been playing Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, you might be wondering what the canon name of your player character is. With a little digging, we’ve managed to uncover a tentative answer.

Like many RPGs, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance will allow you to name the protagonist yourself. However, the game does not provide you with a default name to use if you don’t have one in mind or would prefer to go with a canon name, and in-game he is referred to only as “the Nahobino” by party members, or “young man” by Aogami. 

Although Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance released last week, Atlus are continuing on with their Daily Demon video series, and today we’ve been given a look at Zeus, the Greek God of thunder.

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. Pokemon Legends: Z-A takes over again as the top Switch title.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between May 29 and June 4.

System: Switch

Monster Hunter Stories was easily one of my favorite titles on the system. The franchise lent itself surprisingly well to the monster taming genre, with a solid (albeit somewhat cliche) story behind it, an accessible rock-paper-scissors style of combat, and a gene system that added an unexpected amount of depth. But it was something of a sleeper hit, and most likely didn’t experience the franchise until the sequel, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, arrived on the Switch nearly four years later. Now, just in time for the franchise’s anniversary, Capcom has finally brought the original to the Switch. But is it too little, too late?
