US EditionNintendo Partner Direct Announced for This Week
The 30-minute livestream will highlight upcoming third-party Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 games, including releases from partners like FromSoftware and Capcom.
- On Thursday, February 5 Nintendo will stream a Partner Showcase on YouTube at 2pm GMT, featuring roughly 30 minutes of upcoming Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 games from partners.
- After rumours surfaced last week, multiple insiders had largely expected the event, especially since Nintendo held two earlier Nintendo Directs this year.
- Among likely appearances are FromSoftware's The Duskbloods, Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, Resident Evil Requiem, and indie titles such as Mina The Hollower and Witchbrook, with some possibly arriving this year.
- For fans, the immediate takeaway is that first-party Nintendo titles like new 3D Mario or Splatoon Raiders are absent, while the focus on partner publishers highlights third-party support for Switch and Switch 2.
- Looking across the calendar, Nintendo has scheduled multiple Direct-style events before a likely first-party presentation, and a Pokémon Presents is expected on February 27 for Pokémon Day and the 30th anniversary.
