Key art for the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D remake.

Nintendo Direct showcases offer more for PC gamers than merely the grim spectacle of having to watch as the lingering hopes ofHollow Knight fansare dashed for another year. While first party Nintendo stuff stays locked in Mario’s walled garden, we reliably get reveals for third-party games that also hit PC—particularly, we see a lot of long-awaited remasters and remakes of JRPGs, and this year’s summer showcase from Nintendo continued that trend. Here’s what we can look forward to from this June’s Nintendo Direct.

Mio looks a bit like a Hollow Knight-esque Metroidvania, but with androids on a colorful, overrun space ark instead of doomed bugs. It has a lovely artstyle, and its player character robot has a really cool design with hair-like energy tendrils that it can use for platforming and combat.Mio: Memories in Orbit is planned for a 2025 release onSteam.

It’s basically a Sanrio Stardew and it’s coming to PC. You can make your own little creature. Is it a port of an Apple Arcade game? Yes. But Pompompurin is in there. What more could you want? (Big Challengesis the answer, but he rests with the angels now.)

Hello Kitty Island Adventure will hit PC in 2025.
