There have been “whispers” that Nintendo won’t host a new general Direct until June, which isn’t too strange, especially since it’s a month for major game announcements. However, the show could be packed with release dates for titles like Splatoon Raiders, Switch Sports and Rhythm Heaven Groove. Nate reports that they’re launching this Summer, which could mean a steady series of Switch 2 titles from June to early September.

Of course, that’s not the full line-up, and Nintendo has every opportunity to reveal some real killer apps (and maybe even tease the next full-fledged 3D Mario). In the meantime, it’s riding high on the success of Pokémon Pokopia, with over 2.2 million copies sold in just four days and recent releases like Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park.

There’s also Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, which launches on May 21st alongside Nintendo’s new initiative to price physical and digital editions of a title separately. The platformer retails for $69.99 physically, but it’s $10 cheaper digitally.

In Splatoon Raiders, players take on the role of a mechanic who ventures to the Spirhalite Islands with Shiver, Frye and Big Man, aka Deep Cut from Splatoon 3. The trio ventures to the mysterious location via helicopter after finding a map in some basement but ends up crashing.

A strange vortex with a glowing light is seemingly at the heart of the Spirhalite Islands and responsible for their predicament. The group must survive in the middle of nowhere, and though the gameplay loop is unknown, a few shots feature Deep Cut fishing and the protagonist spraying Big Man. A machine is also shown accompanying the player.

Judging by the fishing rig out on the water, perhaps Splatoon Raiders is a survival crafting sandbox game. A release window hasn’t been announced, with the video teasing that research is “still underway.” With Nintendo attending this year’s Gamescom, maybe we’ll learn more there. Stay tuned in the meantime.
