Nintendo confirms date of its next Direct event; here's what to expect
is set to hold its next
Nintendo Direct
event this week. The Japanese game developer has confirmed that the virtual event will take place on July 31. It's important to note that this is a
Partner Showcase
event and not a typical Nintendo Direct. This means that the upcoming event will focus specifically on third-party partners, rather than Nintendo-published games. So, gamers who are waiting for the release date of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond should not expect the same from this event. Instead, the presentation, which is expected to last approximately 25 minutes, will focus on third-party developers and publishers, allowing them to reveal their upcoming Switch 2 games.
Nintendo Direct on July 31: How to watch the event
Those who are interested in watching the event can catch it live on Nintendo's official YouTube channel. The event kicks off at 6 am PT / 9 am ET / 2 pm BST / 3 pm CEST/ 6.30 am IST. For easy access, here's a link to the YouTube

As noted earlier, Nintendo has announced that the upcoming Direct will focus on titles for the
Nintendo Switch 2
and current Switch consoles, developed by its third-party publishing partners.
This may include games like Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition for Switch 2,
Star Wars Outlaws
,
Hades 2
, Professor Layton and the New World of Steam, and possibly even Hollow Knight: Silksong, according to a Polygon report.
However, updates on Nintendo's first-party titles, such as Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Kirby Air Riders for Switch 2, appear to be off the table for now.
Nintendo Switch 2 launch lineup suggests that many titles still don't have confirmed release dates, and more games are likely to join the list soon.
The strong momentum behind the Switch 2 console, which is now the fastest-selling console ever, is also expected to drive more third-party support. A larger install base means developers will have access to a broader audience, increasing the chances of better sales.

The Great Indian Kapil Show 3: Krushna Abhishek jokes about Raghav Chadha's looks; says 'Ye toh apne sadhu Nick Jonas se bhi zyaada foreigner lagte hain'
The Great Indian Kapil Show season 3 opened with a bang featuring Bollywood megastar Salman Khan, and now the show welcomed the beloved duo from Bollywood and politics, Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha . During the episode the audience got to witness many funny moments and the couple also talked about their love story in detail. As Kapil Sharma greeted the charming couple on the stage of The Great Indian Kapil Show, he couldn't help but notice Raghav Chadha walking barefoot. Curious, Kapil asked the youngest Rajya Sabha MP about it, to which Raghav humorously responded that someone had stolen his shoes backstage. Just then Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda walk in as female security officers Mona and Sona calling Raghav their jiju. They have Raghav's shoes in their hands and demand money in barter for the shoes. They inform Kapil that Raghav is their jiju (brother-in-law) and they are here to perform the 'joota churayi' ritual. They enter the stage saying 'East or west Raghav jiju is the best'. When Kapil reprimands them for their behaviour, Krushna aka Mona says, "Kapil is jealous as Parineeti is here with her husband and his flirting skills are on flight mode. " Kapil coversup and calls Parineeti his sister. Raghav roasts them saying they are expecting a politician to spend money. He requests them to return his shoes. Krushna praises Raghav for his good looks and says, "Aap kitne handsome hain yaar.. sacchi bolun aap toh apne saadu, Nick Jonas se bhi zyaada foreigner lagte hain..." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Even Beautiful Women Have Their 'Oops' Moments Read More Undo (I'll be honest, you know your saadu, Nick Jonas? you actually look more like a foreigner than he does).

This actor once roamed the streets drunk, police used to drive him home, now has a net worth of Rs 277 crore, his name is...
Bollywood has different types of actors. While some are called character actors, others are known for their massy action roles. However, there are some celebs who fall into the category of comedians. Today, we will discuss one of the most celebrated comedy actors in Bollywood. He is known as one of the most versatile talents the industry has. However, despite being a renowned actor, he had to suffer in his personal life. But he overcame everything and is now the owner of Rs 277 crore. This Actor Used to Roam the Streets Drunk He is one of those actors who once attempted suicide due to his circumstances. If you are wondering who we are talking about, then this actor is none other than Johnny Lever. In 1981, Johnny Lever made his debut in the film Yeh Rishta Na Toote but initially struggled to find significant roles. However, in the coming years, Johnny Lever proved his mettle in the industry and began climbing the ladder of success. While speaking candidly with his daughter Jamie Lever on comedian Sapan Verma's YouTube show, Johnny recalled his hectic schedule and how his tremendous success started taking a toll on his health and lifestyle. He said, 'I used to be very tired. I used to shoot films during the day and perform in shows at night. Apart from this, I used to drink a lot of alcohol. This would make me completely exhausted. I used to sit backstage as if I was in Shavasana.' During that time, Johnny realized his addiction to alcohol was growing day by day, becoming a concern for him and his family. There were even days when he used to roam the streets until 4 a.m., completely drunk. Police Used to Drive Johnny Home In the same interview, Johnny said, 'The police would come many times, but when they recognized me, they would laugh and say, 'Hey, Johnny bhai,' and let me sit in their car so that I could drink comfortably.' In the same show, he admitted, 'Success can really mess with your head. There was a time when no film was made without me. I was doing international shows, traveling constantly, and completely lost in it all. But eventually, I made a decision — I quit drinking. It's been 24 years now, and I haven't touched alcohol since.' After fighting the odds, Johnny turned his life around through talent and determination, and today he has a net worth of Rs 277 crore.
