Nintendo Direct Announced for June 18

Nintendo has announced that it will host a Nintendo Direct broadcast on June 18 on YouTube. It will last 40 minutes and will highlight games coming in the latter half of 2024. It will also have no information on the company’s next console. 

Details on the publisher’s latest title Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door:

Join Mario on an Epic Paper-adventure to Collect the Crystal Stars Before the X-nauts Do!

The nefarious X-Nauts are after the treasure behind the Thousand-Year Door! With a map from Princess Peach, and the help of a few locals, Mario journeys through a colorful world made of paper to find them first. To prevail in this quest, you’ll have to level up Mario and his friends, master timing-based attacks and badges to impress the audience on the stage of combat, and make use of all the abilities that come with being cursed—er, conveniently made of paper—like folding into a plane to cross big gaps or turning sideways to slip through narrow openings.

Leaf Through a Storybook World With Charming Characters in Every Fold

Surprises abound in this deep and engaging tale, where everyone’s got something to say and it’s often not what you’d expect. Mario will meet all kinds of interesting folks on his journey, like the upbeat and studious Goombella and the shy but determined Koops. Some of these characters will need your help with their own quests, or even join your party. Others, like Peach and Bowser, have stories of their own that you’ll play between Mario’s chapters!

A Classic Turns the Page, Bringing Fresh Visuals and Updated Features
