Nintendo Direct July 2025 date, time, and more
Image via Nintendo. It's been a long time since a Nintendo Direct was held. However, the wait is finally over as a Nintendo Direct is going to be organized soon even before July ends. This event has always been a treat for the fans because not only it reveals new Nintendo titles and updates, it also gives us a glimpse of the upcoming console section as well. Along with these, Nintendo Directs often feature developers Q&A sections, where fan queries get answered. Now, the upcoming Nintendo Direct seems to have all of these, but there is actually a catch. Everything you need to know about Nintendo Direct July 2025 Last time a proper and full-fledged Nintendo Direct happened was in March 2025 where many new titles like Shadow Labyrinth, Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, and many more were announced. Since then fans have been waiting for a proper Nintendo Direct. Another Nintendo Direct was slated to be held in June, but it coincided with the Switch 2 release. Two other events - Nintendo Switch 2 Dedicated Direct and Donkey Kong Bonanza Direct - were held in April and June respectively but those weren't the usual ones. The wait is finally over because the long-hailed console company is finally organizing a Nintendo Direct event on July 31, 2025, at 6 AM PT/ 9 AM ET. However, the catch is that this event is going to be a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Upgrade your PM skillset IITD PM Apply Now Undo So, this event is going to feature third-party titles only; there won't be any updates about the Nintendo first-party titles, like the highly anticipated release date of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.

It's quite easy as the whole event, which is believed to be about roughly 25 minutes in length, will be livestreamed from the official YouTube channel of Nintendo. The channel has already scheduled a broadcast on YouTube, hence fans are advised to put reminders there so that they don't miss out on this live event. However, there have been rumors in the air as well that Nintendo might be hosting an actual full-fledged Direct first-party showcase in September, as it has been long since the company has organized one.

‘Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake' Already Looks Astonishingly Lovely
'Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake' will be released later this year. Considering how wondrous the remake of Dragon Quest III was, it's lovely to see how good the remake for Dragon Quest I and II already looks. If you're wondering why these games have been released out of numerical order, it's because Dragon Quest III is chronologically the first game in the narrative. Specifically, it cements the legend of Erdrick and how his descendants deal with the resurgence of evil across Alefgard. That's the other thing, Dragon Quest III was and is a big game. It also featured Alefgard towards the end, although under the cruel rule of Zoma. Combining the first two Dragon Quest games together also helps deal with the fact that on their own, they would have been far shorter. Moreover, the end of the Dragon Quest III remake also had a cool sequence introducing a seemingly well-intentioned Hargon before he becomes the evil baddie in Dragon Quest II. What will be interesting is that the first Dragon Quest had no party system, you were just one guy taking on the hordes of evil on your own. So, that shift after the Dragon Quest III remake for players new to the series may come as a bit of a shock.
