Nintendo Direct Mini to Broadcast Later Today

A Nintendo Direct Mini will air later today, showcasing titles from non-Nintendo developers and publishers. It will go live at 7am Pacific / 10am Eastern / 3pm UK / midnight AEST, and should last roughly 10 minutes. The Nintendo Direct Mini July Showcase was revealed on Twitter by the Nintendo of America account, and it apparently the first in a series of broadcasts to come. Today's show will "share a few updates on a small group of previously-announced Nintendo Switch games." According to Nintendo Japan, the Direct Mini will run for 10 minutes.

On 7/20 we'll debut the first #NintendoDirect Mini: Partner Showcase, a series focused on titles from our development & publishing partners. We'll share a few updates on a small group of previously-announced #NintendoSwitch games. Check out the full video release at 7am PT. pic.twitter.com/GbEbxVL6fD

Per previous showcases, you'll most likely be able to catch it on Nintendo's official YouTube account. The Twitter account behind HiRez Studios' upcoming team-based multiplayer shooter Rogue Company quoted Nintendo's tweet with some cryptic wording, suggesting the game may appear during the show. A few games that may well qualify for this direct include Bayonetta 3 and Shin Megami Tensei V - which are developed by Nintendo's partners, and are yet to be revealed in any great depth.
