Nintendo Direct: Ocarina of Time Remake and Kingdom Hearts IV Teased

The headline announcement centers on a remake of Ocarina of Time, slated for a Switch 2 release later this year, though Nintendo has yet to commit to a specific launch date. Alongside this revival, Square Enix offered a fresh look at Kingdom Hearts IV. While the title remains undated, developers confirmed a simultaneous multi-platform release, ensuring the game arrives on the Switch 2 alongside the PS5 and Xbox.

Beyond these major reveals, the presentation clarified the remainder of the year’s schedule. A new entry in the Fire Emblem series finally secured a firm release date, while a fresh Final Fantasy project is confirmed for 2026. Ongoing titles like Star Fox and Splatoon Raiders also featured prominently, signaling a push to fill the current software void. These announcements arrive at a critical juncture for Nintendo as it attempts to justify the premium cost of its upcoming hardware.
