The wait is over (well, sort of, at least). Nintendo has announced a new Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase for tomorrow, and it’ll contain info about upcoming games for both of the company’s currently active consoles.
As revealed on social media platform X, the Direct Partner Showcase for February 2026 will air at 6am Pacific/9am Eastern tomorrow, and it’ll feature “roughly 30 minutes” of information about games for both the Switch 2 and the original Switch.
Of course, as usual, Nintendo stops short of announcing exactly what games we’ll be seeing during the show, but hey; it’s not like we’re going to have to wait very long to find out, eh?
You can expect to see info on a host of upcoming third-party Switch 2 games during the show; I’d be surprised if we didn’t hear from the likes of Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata, as well as potential wildcards like Square Enix’s The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales.
Given that it’s set for a 2026 release, I’d also be shocked if we didn’t hear something about FromSoftware’s upcoming multiplayer game The Duskbloods, especially in light of the fact that it’s a Switch 2 exclusive that we still don’t know too much about.
One game you definitely won’t be hearing from during tomorrow’s showcase is, of course, Take-Two and Gearbox’s Borderlands 4. The two studios confirmed in a quarterly earnings report that development on the Switch 2 version of the looter-shooter has been paused indefinitely.
These shows almost always contain surprises of one kind or another, too, so there will almost certainly be games that we don’t know about yet. If Nintendo wants to drum up hype for the Switch 2, that’s a great way to do so (although whether it needs to is another question!).
In any case, we’ll learn exactly what Nintendo has in store for the new Direct when it airs tomorrow at 6am Pacific (that’s 9am Eastern and 2pm GMT). We’ll bring you all of the announcements from that show as soon as we get them.
