It’s been a long time since a Nintendo Direct was held. However, the wait is finally over as a Nintendo Direct is going to be organized soon even before July ends. This event has always been a treat for the fans because not only it reveals new Nintendo titles and updates, it also gives us a glimpse of the upcoming console section as well.
Along with these, Nintendo Directs often feature developers Q&A sections, where fan queries get answered. Now, the upcoming Nintendo Direct seems to have all of these, but there is actually a catch.
Everything you need to know about Nintendo Direct July 2025
Last time a proper and full-fledged Nintendo Direct happened was in March 2025 where many new titles like Shadow Labyrinth, Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, and many more were announced. Since then fans have been waiting for a proper Nintendo Direct.
Another Nintendo Direct was slated to be held in June, but it coincided with the Switch 2 release. Two other events - Nintendo Switch 2 Dedicated Direct and Donkey Kong Bonanza Direct - were held in April and June respectively but those weren’t the usual ones.
The wait is finally over because the long-hailed console company is finally organizing a Nintendo Direct event on July 31, 2025, at 6 AM PT/ 9 AM ET. However, the catch is that this event is going to be a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase.
So, this event is going to feature third-party titles only; there won’t be any updates about the Nintendo first-party titles, like the highly anticipated release date of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.

Now, the question is, how to watch the upcoming event? It’s quite easy as the whole event, which is believed to be about roughly 25 minutes in length, will be livestreamed from the official YouTube channel of Nintendo. The channel has already scheduled a broadcast on YouTube, hence fans are advised to put reminders there so that they don't miss out on this live event.
However, there have been rumors in the air as well that Nintendo might be hosting an actual full-fledged Direct first-party showcase in September, as it has been long since the company has organized one.
