Summary
June 30 at 10 a.m. EDT, Nintendo will stream a roughly 15-minute Direct focused entirely on Splatoon Raiders, its upcoming Switch 2-exclusive spinoff.
Nintendo said the showcase will deliver a deep dive into gameplay, with an extended Nintendo Treehouse: Live broadcast set to follow.

Pricing underscores Nintendo's newer software strategy, with Splatoon Raiders set at $49.99 digitally and $59.99 physically.
