The presentation will tip off at 7 AM PST and is expected to last roughly 40 minutes. As the May announcement made clear, and as is reiterated in this post from Nintendo, there will be no word on the successor to Switch during this broadcast. That said, many are wondering what Nintendo has up its sleeve for the rest of 2024 and beyond in terms of its upcoming software launches, including what the latest is regarding Metroid Prime 4, which has been gestating for years now. Even without Switch 2 news there’s plenty to look forward to tomorrow. Let us know what you think will be announced down below!
