Metroidvanias: The Complete Guide to the Genre

Nintendo's June 2026 Direct was a showcase built around two ideas: the Switch 2 is real and it's loaded, and Nintendo's classics still hit different when they're done right. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time getting a full remake exclusively on Switch 2 stole the show, FromSoftware's mysterious The Duskbloods got a closed network test date, Star Fox returns with a cinematic overhaul and online multiplayer, and the two-player co-op adventure Orbitals finally got a September 3 release date. This was a Direct that made the Switch 2 feel essential.
