Nintendo Direct Mini: Start time, how to watch, and what to expect
What will get announced? Your guess is as good as mine.
Nintendo
If you’re interested in the nitty gritty of Nintendo related game releases, you’ve most likely sat through an episode of Nintendo Direct, a semi regular video series produced by Nintendo that focuses on upcoming games and hardware.
Almost all Nintendo announcements are done through Nintendo Direct videos these days, so it’s time for another. This time it’s a Nintendo Direct Mini.
On 7/20 we’ll debut the first #NintendoDirect Mini: Partner Showcase, a series focused on titles from our development & publishing partners. We’ll share a few updates on a small group of previously-announced #NintendoSwitch games. Check out the full video release at 7am PT. pic.twitter.com/GbEbxVL6fD

What can we expect? The above tweet sharing the announcement gives us a few clues. The focus on “titles from our development & publishing partners” means you’d best not expect any major updates on the upcoming Breath of the Wild sequel or Metroid Prime 4. Most likely this will be focused on titles from third party studios, but the “few updates on a small group of previously-announced” Nintendo Switch games gives us hope something big might be shown.
(Probably not tho.)
