Nintendo Direct showcases Kingdom Hearts 4 and Zelda remake

June 10, 2026

Nintendo held its June 2026 Direct on Tuesday, unveiling trailers and release details for multiple games across Switch and Switch 2 platforms.

The presentation featured a surprise trailer for Kingdom Hearts 4. Square Enix confirmed the title will launch day one on Nintendo Switch 2 alongside PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, though no release date was given. A remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was also announced. It will arrive later this year exclusively for the Switch 2. Additional highlights included Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, set for October 22, and Big Walk, arriving August 4 on PC, Switch 2 and PlayStation 5. Xenoblade Genesis was revealed for 2027.

What people are saying

Initial reactions on X to the June 2026 Nintendo Direct were mixed, with excitement over Kingdom Hearts 4 and Zelda Ocarina of Time remake announcements, but some disappointment over lack of new titles or release dates.

Kingdom Hearts series! 8 Oct. Fresh key art! Demo today! Kingdom Hearts IV! Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake! 2026! BEST NINTENDO DIRECT EVER! 100000/10 easily!

No.

Zelda is a remake and only 2026 title here…

Xenoblade 2027 only cinematic reveals

Kingdom hearts 4 no release date or anything new 😂

That was the worst Nintendo Direct of all time. No exaggeration.

Eh, the Nintendo Direct from June 9, 2026 was alright. It was nothing new, but DLC and RPG content. At least, announcements from Kingdom Hearts IV and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake look charming. Be careful what you wish for. You win some, you lose some. pic.twitter.com/GILa3qfoD1

I mean, I'm ONLY interested in Ocarina of Time remake and Duskblood and this was the best Nintendo Direct ever imo. Never been this good to be a Nintendo fan. 2 Good games in 1 year is amazing.
