Nintendo will soon pull back the curtain on its third-party plans for Switch and Switch 2 with its February 2026 Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase.
The company behind Super Mario Bros, Metroid, and The Legend of Zelda will turn the focus to its gaming partners when the presentation brings 30 minutes of reveals and updates in just a few short minutes. As the show was announced just yesterday, there’s no telling what will be announced, but fans, at least, are hoping to see games like Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem and FromSoftware’s The Duskbloods.
Nintendo Directs only come around every so often, so expect Nintendo to make the most of its half-hour event when it starts at 6 a.m. PT - 9 a.m. ET. We’ll catch all of the highlights and share them below, so be sure to keep refreshing this page to see everything announced during the Partner Showcase.
