Update: Today’s the day, Partners! You’ll find everything you need to know about today’s Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase in the post below.<\/p>\n

Well folks, we had an inkling that it might be on the horizon, and Nintendo has just made it official. A Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase has been announced for Thursday, 5th February 2026.<\/p>\n

The Direct will kick off at 2pm GMT \/ 3pm CET \/ 6am PT, and it promises “roughly 30 minutes” of news and announcements for third-party games heading to Switch 2 and Switch 1. As ever, you’ll be able to watch along on the Nintendo of America YouTube channel<\/a>, your regional variant, or on the Nintendo Today!<\/a> app.<\/p>\n

Here’s when the Direct will get underway in your region:<\/p>\n

North America: 6am PST \/ 7am MST \/ 8am CST \/ 9am ESTUK\/Ire: 2pm GMTEurope: 3pm CET \/ 4pm EETAsia\/Oceania: 11pm JST \/ 10pm AWST \/ 1am (Fri) AEDT<\/p>\n

As for what the showcase will contain, your guess is as good as ours! There are still some third-party big hitters in the pipeline that we feel are probably due a new info dump \u2014 Elden Ring<\/a>, The Duskbloods<\/a>, The Adventures of Elliot<\/a>, Professor Layton and The New World of Steam<\/a> etc. \u2014 and we’re still waiting on amiibo news for the likes of Resident Evil Requiem<\/a> and Pragmata<\/a>. Then again, it could be something completely new! Ports feel so much more possible on the new system, so we’ve got our fingers crossed for some sky-high dreams.<\/p>\n

What do you hope to see in this week’s Partner Direct? Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n
