A Nintendo Direct Mini dropped on Tuesday. The 25-minute "Partner Showcase" video focused on upcoming third-party Nintendo Switch games, so don't expect any details about the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or the next Mario game.

It followed last week's dedicated Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Nintendo Direct showcase, ahead of the RPG's July 29 release.

When does Nintendo Direct start?

The Nintendo Direct appeared online  6 a.m. PT/9 a.m. ET, which converts to 2 p.m. GMT or 11 p.m. AEST.
