Here is the June 21st, 2023 Nintendo Direct stream ICYMI:
Overall, I would say it was a solid B+ to A-, depending on your taste. Regardless, there was something old and something new with both first and third party information. After massive game releases this year so far, I wouldn’t expect another massive banger like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom or Metroid 4 for a while.
